As to where Texas A&M will turn, USA Today reported earlier this month that the Aggies are prepared to pursue Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher to replace Sumlin, despite Fisher's rather lackluster 4-6 record this season aftter entering ranked No. 3 in the initial AP Top 25.

Whether Fisher is actually interested in moving on from Tallahassee, Florida, remains to be seen. But he does have a relationship with Woodward dating back to Fisher's days as LSU's offensive coordinator, where the two worked together from 2000-04. Fisher was rumored to be interested in the LSU job this time two years ago, when reports surfaced that then-coach Les Miles tenure was scheduled to end shortly after the Texas A&M game. Miles won that game and was retained during the offseason only to be fired one month into the 2016 season. All the while, Fisher remained in Tallahassee.

Fisher would be retarded to go to ANY school in the SEC. Competition would kill him.

If he elects to leave, Fisher’s buyout is now the sum of all monies remaining on the contracts of his assistant coaches not retained by the university.

So, for example, if Fisher leaves, and the university retains none of ten coaches each making $500,000 on one-year deals, Fisher would owe the school $5M within 30 days. Given that many assistants are employed on two- or three-year contracts, it’s likely that this buyout number could be in the $10-15M range.

Sooooo what does that say about us? We could’ve possibly played three teams that lost or fired their coach as well as us firing our coach. Has that every happened before?

Sooo... Sumlin's record is 51-25, has had 3 ten win seasons at two different schools, and he has been known for a dynamic offense. He is obviously 10 times the coach as Slick Willy Taggart- Harbaugh, Mr 105th ranked passing offense. Is he immediately our first choice?

Can we stop hearing about that fvkking loser Taggart now?

The FSU AD didn't help his cause. He said Jimbo could stay for life. Then he was asked if there was a repeat of this year, and he said we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Good luck Dumbo

Yeah Sumlin should immediately jump up our list of options other than Kelly or Frost. I would target Sumlin and Norvell as our 2A and 2B options. Taggert, Strong, Cousin Eddy, and whatever other losers have been mentioned should never wear the orange and blue.

It's a joke. We aren't hiring the dude ATM just fired.

It is more of a joke about the Taggart Justice Warriors.

Sumlins better than any canidate once we get past frost. He might would be 3rd on my list. Just ahead of norvell.

Sumlin deserves a power school. If not, whatcha think if Frost comes here, Sumlin would be a great get for UCF? (not saying UCF is a power school)
Heck, Sumlin & UCLA be worthwhile to both if Sumlin can recruit & make them a winning program.
