I doubt Sumlin would be interested, but his contract won't be the issue. Sumlin's contract does not have the "normal" buyout that reduces his pay from A&M if he gets another job. His buyout was required in full already, and didn't stipulate of a reduced buyout if he is fired and gets another job, meaning any job he gets moving forward is additional compensation.
Yeah, that's what I was saying. He (Sumlin) can afford to be incredibly picky about his next spot and chose a situation that would be right for him, both professionally and monetarily.
Also, I have never understood why people are so enamored with a "pro-style" offense for a couple of reasons.
1) If you have a player that is good enough, he will find a way onto a pro roster, regardless of if he was in a "pro system" (case in point, Jared Goff, Curtis Samuels, and to a lesser degree Tim Tebow).
2) The college game is influencing the pro game. While ball control is a thing, the game is no longer 3 yards and a cloud of dust. Most NFL teams are spreading you out with 3 or 4 WR sets and running out of a shotgun.
3) I have always viewed spread offenses as an evening of the playing field. Are we going to be able to out-athlete a Michigan or an Ohio State by running a pro-style game? No, those are established programs that have been brilliant about innovating and adapting to the game as it evolves. If you want to beat the big boys, you not only have to outsmart them, but you have to put your players, schematically, in a position to do it and I believe the spread helps with that.
Note: this is not an attack on anyone, pro-style is just not my taste for an offense. I think McGee was trying to move towards that, but lackluster QB play in combination with injuries prevented that.
