I feel the general consensus is the university should be getting a lot more value out of the millions being spent on him and his staff picks , that honestly haven ' t panned out . The school needs to stop attempting to imitate coaching selections and strategies that have worked at other schools and go back to the basics . Refuse to hire anyone whose going to have a buyout greater than one seasons pay . Refuse to pay coaches more than they are worth just because ego says AM is a premiere football program . Sherrill , Fran , and Sumlin was us attempting to rely upon superior coaching when in reality they got lucky at their prior coaching positions and picked up a pay raise with us . Sherman was us believing that a shitty pro ball coach is better than any other tier of football ' s talented motivators . If we are worried about recruiting , there are guys out there who will be thankful for 750 k a year and bring in equivocal talent that Swagcopter does . If we are worried about soft players , there are guys as broad as a barn with thick beards on the sidelines of any the other SEC teams any given Saturday which would be probably very happy going from a 100 k trainer to a 250 k strength coach position . If you just want a change , then now is the time to shake those booster donations around if you happen to be one of those good ole boys with the petrochemical or construction firms with a building named after you . Giving Sumlin another year doesn ' t give the Ags another chance at that breakout season that finally sets up a dynasty . Another year merely postpones our eventual dismissal of Sumlin or him sneaking off to another conference not as scary as the SEC .
