Stumblin' "built" a program on the sands of that cow college with visions of grandeur, promises, gimmicks, catchy phrases, SEC hubris and general ******** . IMO agricultural & mechanical college of Texas is a coaching graveyard and it has a long history to prove it. Sumlin is the next coaching tombstone there.
As someone stated he did catch lightning in a bottle with JF for one good winning season. That year aggy enjoyed the most attention and success they have had since perhaps 1998 when they last won the Big 12.
However there are major cracks in the walls and erosion of the foundation of the Sumlin palace. There is discord in the locker room, player defections, coaching turnover, fan grumblings. There are questions of his ethics, decision making, leadership, managing the program, etc. Plus this was the second year in a row Daddy UT has pulled a bunch of top recruits away from them.
The clock is ticking on the Sumlin era at aggy.......
