I like what Gabe said here. It will be interesting to hear the press conference to see if someone was as bold in critique of Sumlin to his face.

I expect something milquetoast like, "Coach, take me through the playcalling at the end of the first half."

Followed by 3 minutes of rambling platitudes and no followup questions.

Great review Gabe! Pulling no punches!!

How this coach gets paid $5million to do what he does is beyond me!!

Gabe and Mark, Thanks for your honesty. You are right-on on your analysis. Coaching sucked and probably cost us a win at Kyle.

pulling no punches at this point when they should've pulled no punches after the QB debacle in 2015 and sumlin should've been fired then. Yes, really admirable....

Gabe, this is a good team. They have shown it all season. They cannot play to their potential with the uninspired and predictable play calling and poor personnel decisions.

Every Ag should watch this. Nothing could be more telling about this staff.

Aaron Moorehead should be fired for lack of coaching the receivers who have underperformed all year!

I tried to focus on what they were saying, but that damn northwest corner distracts me.

The problem - not a single reporter in the press conference has the balls to ask the questions that need to be asked.

Does it matter. He's gone and he knows it. He has known it for weeks. Only 3 more games and we are rid of him forever.

The defense which was so communicative had 42 points hung on it in another SEC SEC SEC loss at home.
Yeah, they were the high point Dodge.

Wow how can the receivers coach not be fired for lack of performance?

Special teams gave up seven, and by the end of it I don't blame our defense for being gassed.

Great piece. If you like Dodge you need to get ready to defend him. He's going to take a rash of crap if Sumlin isn't fired immediately.

Totally have to have Marks back. The backlash that's about to come.

Pulling no punches with a coach that's going to get canned? Get back to me when they have the spine to be so bold in the presser, esp when the coach isn't on his way out.

Sumlin is already gone. Gabe is never that negative.

Go watch the UCLA recap. This felt very similar.

Agree.

He has complete credibility with the fans, is a highly admired individual, and has played admirably for the Ags. He can and did say things that Gabe very likely could not given the need to protect the TexAgs brand from retaliation (restriction of access). I sensed Gabe's comments were heartfelt and stretched his editorial leash to the limit. I think having Mark do the recap with him was a bold attempt to project thoughts to the fan base that could not /would not otherwise be spoken by an "in house" commentator. I think it worked.

They articulated what I've felt the past few seasons. Gut wrenching to hear the reality, but it's true.
