There is some serious overrating of Kevin Sumlin going on here.
As I said, only a dumbass.
two words
Chip Kelly
You better hope he leaves.
No kidding. I didn't say he wouldn't. I said who knows. No one really does. But I know, and when it comes to Arizona, I'm as plugged in as anyone in the country - no joke - I know Sumlin strongly considered Arizona. This was before the full scale push from A&M. Recall that Arizona Fired Stoops like Kiffin was fired here. Sumlin had his people call Arizona, Arizona ctalked things out, and it was something Sumlin liked.
Now, A&M is a better than Houston, but I'm saying I know he was strongly intrigued by the PAC-12, and that was at a middle-tier school with a 1.5-2 million per budget and no local recruiting base.
Now the temptation is USC coming off their sanctions where a Rose Bowl within first four years would endear him to the populace and he'd have the decade Petey got, likely longer. I am not a believer that Oregon can keep this up, and Stanford always ebbs and flows. UCLA is second tier, and both Washington and ASU have recruiting issues with truly elite players.
The Conference is ripe for the picking.
Sumlin knows he can get a bunch of money from a desperate USC program and knows it'll be easier to both recruit elite talent to USC and win the Conference at USC than either or both at A&M.
Kelly is an interesting name, but each coming of sanctions, that's an iffy pairing.
Sumlin's style and recent history bode well for him.

Yeah. I made it. But I'm not just a poster. I'm a former journalist with in tact sources who admins for the Yahoo and Fox Sports recruiting services, Rivals and Scout, with an emphasis on Arizona and the PAC-12 South.Are there actual rumblings of USC being interested in Sumlin or just speculation by posters ?
What the led to kiffin getting kicked out the team bus too.
Two words:
Show Cause
Yes, plus you'd think USC isn't anxious to get in bed with another coach who's brought sanctions upon a top program.
Maybe, but I'd think they'd get the best clean coach out there and just pitch the brand.
Didn't mean as a shot towards you or anyone else brah, was genuinely wondering. You've heard that the people at USC will make a run at him ?
One of my guys texted me this morning: "Ignore Del Rio; Lookout for Sumlin."
He's not making the decision, but I trust him enough to start the debate with it.
I'm better in basketball. I have two sources, one in particular, that are just awesome. I admit this is source-driven conjecture right now. But holy crap does it make sense.
I texted back that the time after Manziel would be hard at A&M like Meyer/Florida post-Tebow. I pointed out Meyer bolted. He texted "yep"...
I have a friend who's working his way up with ESPN Los Angeles who told me to look out for a Kiffin firing if they lost. Told me Tuesday.
In all honesty, I didn't think USC would lose.
Due diligence. Makes sense. Easier to talk to NFL guys right now.
I know USC had luck with the "mediocre NFL coach-turned-great college coach with Petey, but Del Rio doesn't make a lot of sense before seeing what current successful college coach is interested, be it Sumlin or someone else.
Ohio State was always Meyer's dream job. Different situation.
Not sure...
I doubt A&M is Sumlin's.
kiffin come coach gabbert for us, we need a new OC
I just love watching aggsy dangle in the wind.
What?
College Station is the Mecca of....
Have you seen the museum of farm implements?
USC, Texas, A&M
One of these things is not like the other...
One of them is ranked in the top 10?
Sunshine/Dog's ass
I want to know how Pat Hayden gets to skate since he hired this loser in the first place?
What is the over/under of Kiffin's hot wife, Layla, leaving him now that he got fired, they will lose the beach house and have to move New Mexico State as the Asst WR Coach?
"Layla, you've got me on my knees,
Layla, I'm begging darling please."
The previous AD hired Kiffin, not Haden.
Sumlin isn't leaving for USC. Period.
