I mean, if you are inclined to believe that Doug Gottlieb is not an idiot who would prematurely claim info from sources - then yeah, Sumlin snubbed UT already.

 

Just hire Kiffin. Get it over with.

 

Nope.

Sumlin's huge buyout is even better (for him) than it sounds

Sumlin has a big buyout. It’s $10.4 million, which equals what A&M owed him to coach out his contract through 2019. But, unusually, there’s no offset language.

Unless A&M’s hidden away a clause somewhere nobody’s found it, Sumlin’s going to get paid every cent A&M owes him. The Aggies will be paying full freight for two head coaches at once: a couple million a year for Sumlin, and a similar amount for whomever the school hires as his replacement. That also means Sumlin would collect two coaching salaries if he took another job in the months or years to come.

 

But we can't pay the players.

 

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

However, the way things have gone for UT, this is probably best case scenario hire at this juncture.

 

If they get Leach out of all of this, good lord, shut the program down.

 

That offense will get absolutely waxed in the SEC.

 

Fuck

 

Yes!

 

I would love to see what Leach can do in the SEC with some great talent. Would be fun to watch. And didn’t he just hire an up and coming Def Coordinator?

 

Is Newy Scruggs a real name?

 

Leach is a buffoon. This will be a shit show and he’ll be fired within a few years.

 

I’m guessing Alex Grinch will probably get a long look to take over as HC.

If Wazzu is smart (hell, if UT was smart) they should be looking at Beau Baldwin.

 

The best part about that is "former Texas Tech coach" not "current Washington State coach"

 

Does everyone hate Mike Leach because he's outlandish and controversial? Or is he a guy who won't win any games at Tennessee?

Honestly, I thought this guy was pretty good back in the Texas Tech days before his reputation took a huge hit with the Craig James stuff.

 

He's a very shitty person.

 

Wow, Tennessee.

 

I am truly upset. Guess I will put away my UT gear for a while.

 

I look forward to the SEC media v Leach

 

See you all in three years when we watch Tennessee do this again!

 

The contrasting reactions from y’all and media types on leach is quite stark

 

What else has he done besides lock that kid with a concussion in an equipment closet? I mean yeah that is shitty, but our previous coach played a kid with a concussion for 3 quarters before taking him out. Honestly curious.
