9-4, 8-5, 8-5, 8-5 is fireable. Dude is toast. He'll get a job somewhere. Kelly to A&M? They have the cash and I am sure they will hire someone expensive.

Yeah. The warning shot should have come last year and the axe right now.

Well they can always go get their alum and Sumlin protege down at Texas Tech. I don't see A&M landing a fish bigger than what they got.

Too bad we didnt hire that AD. Apparently four and five loss seasons aren't acceptable at A&M
So you want an AD that knew he was already 9-4, 8-5, 8-5 through Sumlin's first 3 seasons...then sat through his 4th season again at 8-5, and is now giving him a 5th season?

Considering how you are losing your mind after only 2 seasons, I highly doubt you'd want a guy allowing a 5th :lol:

The AD was hired in January 2016.

It's highly unusual for an AD to go on the radio and do this to his coach.

The AD has tremendously helped every school recruiting against A&M. I am sure Sumlin was already fighting negative recruiting about his job security. The AD just made it even harder on him by taking away his ability to say there's definitely nothing to all that and he's going to be at A&M for the next four years.

I completely understand the AD thinking these things. I am sure that he has already discussed it with Sumlin in private. However, I don't see any good that could possibly come from going on Finebaum and saying these things. In my opinion this should be an internal matter.

I already knew when the AD was hired, thanks.

I agree with you though on recruiting...he pretty much just fired him, he's just keeping him on with a retention at this point lol

8-4 or worse will get him canned.

Watch Kelly end up there if ND doesn't open up.

Huh? A&M is probably the richest school in the SEC. They'll land whoever they want next Dec(or sooner).

Would somebody please give Stricklin his bullets back so he can fire some warning shots?
