Mason Jars entering the coaching carousel

Too bad, I would have preferred he stay on and keep running them into the ground.
Just shows that having a high skill QB (Manziel) is important and losing others (Kenny Hill, Kyle Allen, and Kyler Murray) can lead to job loss.
Manziel was trash. It was the wide receiver that caught anything within twenty yards that made him look so good. Evans, I think his name was?
He was an idiot and an ass, but the guy could make things happen at the college level.
Will be fun to see the difference between their wish lists and reality, given their delusional fanbase.
Sumlin will land somewhere quickly. Good coach. The SEC just grinds some guys up. Especially the SEC West.
Manziel made that team go. There is zero doubt about that no matter how much you dislike the rest of him.
They're at the level where they can go get any coach looking for advancement. The problem is they think once that coach gets there they are Alabama when in reality, they're UCLA.
They spent $485 million on a renovation so hopefully for them they saved some money for a new coach.
What BS. Manziel should have won 2 Heismans.
Yep. Not many quarterbacks have embarrassed a Nick Saban defense at Alabama but Manziel did it twice. Great college QB but his ability didn't translate to the pros. I don't think he had a good enough arm or mechanics for the NFL, but even if he had his attitude and work ethic would have sunk him anyway.
Supposedly, Chad Morris from SMU is a hot name. Took them to 2-10, 5-7 and is now 6-5 so far. He's going to be a candidate at Arkansas as well. If that's a better coach than Sumlin...we'll it sure doesn't seem like it. Seth Littrell at N. Texas is another name. He's supposed to take over for kingsbury at TT.
That's a valid opinion, except for the zero doubt part. Here is my dissent:
All you have to do is see the pro careers of those players to understand who made that team go. Plus, at TAMU, every time Manziel got in trouble, he threw the ball up for grabs. It should have been turnover city.
But Mike Evans made him look good every time that happened. If Mike Evans wasn't on that team, Johnny Manziel would have been the brashest bench-warmer in America. And we wouldn't be talking about him because we wouldn't know who he is.

You’re basing your argument on pro performance? Sure, and BDJ (RIP) made our 14-15 team go, not Morris or Georges.
No, I'm not basing my argument on pro performance-- merely submitting it as evidence to support my opinion: Without the incredible receiving skills of Mike Evans on his college team, Johnny Manziel would have been exposed in college instead of in the NFL.
I think we literally type the same thought at the same time....
