    Sumrall would be a home run hire since Lebby is being floated out there. That's probably what's happening.

    I like Sumrall, the man has fire in him. That's what we need.

    Sumrall would be a hire that wouldn’t get anyone excited but would take the SEC by storm in a couple years. He’s a fighter. I don’t know if he’s the best hire but he could end up being the best.

    I think he would do well at Msu. I like his fire more than others plus he seems to be an up-and-coming star.

    Lebby is smoke and mirrors and will end up another Joe Moorhead.

    He would be the perfect candidate to transition our program to the Sun Belt. ****

    Why?

    Imo we need someone who we know can lead a program and lead men. Not just a good X and O person. Maybe lebby is that, but we don't know bc he's never had to do it.
    Mullen was.
    Moorhead wasn't.
    Arnett wasn't.

    No.

    But as a wise man recently highlighted for us, major realignment is coming and we very likely will not be a part of the new supergroups. So really how much are we going to care about all this in the new college football framework.

    I would like, in your opinion, to tell me who is driving the latest conference realignment?

    Same as always. Money and, to a lesser degree, TV.

    Likely the new framework will look very different from what we have now and we would not be a significant revenue driver.

    The SEC is the revenue driver. We're a huge revenue driver because we're in the SEC.
    The only way that changes is if we leave the SEC, which isn't happening.

    Helps to have Keenum. He's one of the most powerful people in CFB right now. Helps to have Byrne, Stricklin, and Cohen ties too.

    That is where you misunderstand the situation, ESPN/Disney is the $$$. If you don’t believe that we can end up in the same situation as Oregon State and Washington State you are tricking yourself. Neither one of them have a huge following or national presence just like us. We have to be able to put a product on the field that people want to watch or we could end up in that situation if this hire goes wrong.
