Texas A&M is so stupid they paid a coach that was 6 and 4 - 75 million and to add insult to that they had negotiated such a poor contract with Sumlin that they had to pay him his full contract amount 10 million!! This is taxpayer money!!!
Booster money. The school itself doesn’t write that check.
Still nuts.

He was actually 5-6 at the time of his resignation though his team did win their final regular season game and bowl game. However, he won 10+ games in every season he was at FSU other than 2017 and 2011 when he won 9. That includes 3 seasons of 12+ wins and a national championship. We can debate whether that is worth 7.5 million a year, but if there is any stupidity here, it really rests with you either not knowing the facts or intentionally misleading others.
I agree that Sumlin’s contract extension was a poor decision by the board of regents, but those that actually negotiated it back then were the ones that paid his buyout. A&M itself is not on the hook for that.
Given your handle, I suspect you went to tech which explains you not knowing (or not posting) the entire factual situation. If tech could have afforded and actually been a place Fisher wanted to coach, you would be singing his praises regardless fo what he costs if you had him. So please, knock off the stupidity talk. Kingsbury at tech has been paid approximately $15 million over 5 years for 30 wins. 500K a win! Not to mention running off an eventual Heisman winner.
So tell me again about stupidity.
