14. OK, full disclosure - Sumlin was up for the job where I went to school

ASU, The Arizona State University! The school that decided in 2009 Obama didn't deserve an honorary degree when he spoke at the graduation EVEN though all other speakers in previous years were granted an honorary degree. The President of the University Michael Crow had some lame assed excuse, Obama let is slide and the racists won.

So in 2011 ASU and A&M were both looking for coaches. Sumlin was on the list for both schools, A&M got Sumlin while ASU got Todd Graham.

Now Todd Graham was the coach at Pittsburgh and announced his leaving via a text. If it was a few years later is there any doubt it would have been a tweet?

"I have resigned my position at Pitt in the best interest of my family to pursue the head coaching position at Arizona State," Graham said. "Coaching there has always been a dream of ours and we have family there. The timing of the circumstances have prohibited from telling you this directly. I now am on my way to Tempe to continue those discussions. God Bless. Coach Graham."


So ASU got this bullshit Charlatan from Texas. A complete phony who plays up the GOD card. In fact when ASU beat Notre Dame a few years ago he claimed ASU was "God's Team or guided by God" Since anointing his teams God's Team, the team has gone 14 and 16, (wins/losses) and lost the last six games last year.

This year they struggled with that powerhouse team from New Mexico State University, but got a win, got smacked by San Diego State at home last night, and may not win another game all year. They might win a couple, but no way will they have a winning season. Grahams success was during the first three years, with the previous coaching staffs players and has regressed each year since.

Now Sumlin had a great first year, 11 and 2, then 9 and 4, and then 8 and 5 in every season. This in a conference that would be tougher top to bottom as compared to the ASU Pac12 conference.

Both coaches will be fired this year, in the list of coaches on the 'Hot Seat' these two are in the top three. Now Todd may not last the year because his team sucks, I MEAN REALLY REALLY SUCKS. He is a self proclaimed Defensive Guru, his defense has been last in the Country for the past two years and might make it three years running. Sumlin on the other hand will likely get to 8 wins again. The issue is, A&M alumni thinks they should be competing with Alabama, Ohio State, etc on a yearly basis. Now A&M was never that good but they have that expectation. ASU alumni think they should be a premier football school and in the top 10 every year. I think most of them have figured out they were delusional. Point being, one coach is horrible, a complete piece of shit, scam artist, while the other is basically performing to a level realistic to his University.

So Sumlin should be hired at ASU after both being fired, but it won't happen, because while they are over the delusion that they should be a top 10 team, the alumni still may object to one trait possessed by Sumlin. Graham on the other hand should be destined for some mid level high school in TX but may end up getting another chance as a coordinator on some other University that is a bit racists AND falls for the bullshit Christian shtick.
