Fire Sumlin

Sumlin is here for the next 2 seasons at least. Let's hope they make a good DC hire and try to get this defense to average.

I would take a bottom 100 defense at this point.

Not getting a new HC unless Sumlin quits. We need players and especially on defense. I don’t believe Chuck got involved with recruiting as a Analyst? Maybe he’s the next Coach O in the living room minus the jambalaya bs. No better time than the present to show what you can do on the recruiting trail.

Shit, if Chuck were to flip a 5* lockdown HS corner to Arizona I would slap that interm DC tag right off.

We need talent! Something Casteel & Yates failed to produce on the recruiting front.

Yep.

The remainder of this season isn't gonna tell us much in my opinion, since Cecil is coaching the same players who frankly just don't measure up to the rest of the competition. I guess we'll see how it goes.

Can Chuck suit up?

Truth.

I’m quite sure we had a plethora of former defensive players absolutely disgusted this past weekend. Someone already said it, but we have a true gift in making the opposing QB look like Joe Montana.

I’m quite sure if eligible many were ready to suit up and uphold the greatness that uniform represents. Dad bods, grandfather bods, didn’t matter....Coach Tomey & that uniform deserved better.

Still pissed!

Liiike what. Our last coach was having an affair. I assume it's that Sumlin is known to be at least a couple drinks in all the time?

If it’s marital issues I wish him the best. If it’s the, why let a football program get in the way of a good jack and coke, then just great. If I buy some tickets will that help?

Shit. I hate these kind of rumors/statements/non-statements. Either say what the issue is (if any) or don't say anything at all.

Seems like a legit account. No blue check mark but 15k followers and no outlandish takes.

I’m guessing whatever the concern is, it’s not repeatable without tempting a law suit.

It's probably not anything we didn't know through years of rumors about Sumlin...

Apparently hard drinking is common among UA basketball and football coaches and has been for some time. RichRod used to tie some on with Casteel according to those in the know.

I still don't understand what the fuck people mean when they say drinking doesn't solve your problems. It solves all of my problems. How else are you supposed to re-set along the endless predicaments of modernity? Prescription drugs?

Just like masturbating, it’s doing something I love with someone I love.

Sumlin should be fired at halftime.

I was not enthusiastic about Ken N but I was adamantly opposed to hiring Sumlin. Hopefully we hire the right up-and-comer this time around.

He would get the most out of two and three star recruits but attendance would remain in the shitter. We need someone to take us to the Rose Bowl.

UAEebs86 · Post by **UAEebs86** » Fri Dec 11, 2020 5:55 pm

At some point a self-respecting person would say, "I'm not getting it done" and walk away.

He certainly doesn't need the money after his A&M buyout.

not in a thousand lifetimes. Only way would be if we literally paid him $20 million a year.

Niumatalolo has as many double digit win seasons in the last ten years as we have in our program history.

We need to hire someone who can succeed. Fan support is in the toilet because we suck. I'm fine with a guy who does more with less because we are less.

Being drunk and intentionally losing by 80 points has to be a good reason to be fired for cause.

If Sumlin isn’t fired, the current stadium attendance will match next years. I can’t fathom keeping Sumlin.

I mean, you'd like to think so, but we can't pay him.

I think I might enjoy Herm Edwards physically taking a dump on Sumlin more than watching him euphemistically take a dump on Sumlin like this.

I'm all for Firing, beheading, running him out of town on a rail, tarring and feathering him, etc, etc. but where are we going to find the money?

The UA athletic dept. just canned a ton of people because of a huge (Covid caused) budget deficit. Should we disband all non-revenue sports to come up with the money??

We need ChooChoo's for cause firing to happen.

You’d need to get the money from a booster. But because Heeke alienated all of them you’d need to fire him too.

No one is going to give Heeke millions to fuck up another football hire.

Why would we need to break the bank on the next hire? Heck, you could just promote an assistant, or give a HC job to an Alumnus.

What’s the worst that can happen, we lose? May as well lose without paying an arm and a leg!

Sumlin’s buyout needs to be paid and no thanks on just getting a warm body so we can suck from now until forever.

Someone mentioned earlier this week the AD had reason to fire Sumlin for cause.

After this I'd say that needs to happen, or the AD needs to be fired for cause.

I'm fine with either.

Feels like it's time for Heeke to go, too.
