I'd be very surprised if he doesn't take it. He really needs to.

I didn't know Lee Corso was an editor too.

He'll actually have some pretty good players there to work with that can fit his system right off.

Just beat me! They're praising sumlin pretty hard on CFL now and say its pretty much a done deal.

 

[KingNick865]

I heard from Arizona State fans that they wanted either Tressel or Mike Belotti as their next coach, but they'll be happy with Sumlin.

The ones on the CFB board?

The ones on the CFB board?

Yes. Yes they were. They seem like normal ASU fans, I suppose.

They're good people. I'll make a visit to that board in the near future, I figure.

The Pac-12 just keeps getting injected with offensive awesome.

Chip Kelly and Mike Leach in the north, now with Rich Rodriguez and Kevin Sumlin in the south.

USC is going to start slowly sinking to .500-ish for a few years from scholly reductions, but other than that, couldn't have asked for a better way to kick off increased national exposure if you're Larry Scott.

Good hire. I wish UT would have went after him

Meh. Second coming of June Jones. Good coach, but not worthy of an SEC hire.

In before Sumlin mysteriously receives said offer after they clinch a BCS bowl bid Saturday afternoon.

A&M is going after him...

FootballScoop - The Scoop

Texas A&M: Sources close to the situation have told us that A&M intends to buy Mike Sherman out of his agreement and their top target is Kevin Sumlin.

if true, that is one hell of a buyout they are going to be chewing through.

SBB reporting that Arizona State is willing to offer Sumlin $4M per year.

ASU was attractive but that was before Mike Sherman was fired today---the TAMU HC position just shot to #1 w/ a bullet...

I like Sumlin but dear Lord!

 

[milohimself]

Would take it with a big grain of salt... SBB gets about three things a year right.

And I don't see how TAMU jumping into the craziest division in CFB looks better than ASU in the weak-arse Pac-12 South with the players already in place to implement his system. Erickson's offense wasn't too far off what Sumlin runs.

 

[oskie_score]

Given that Sumlin was OC for the Aggies under RC and too, that he has in place an extensive in-state recruiting network my money is on TAMU.

Arizona State might pay a coach $4 million?

It keeps getting sillier and sillier.
