Sumlin is 1-0 v Leach, not that it really matters
If hired he's going to have time to pump up the PR, make the rounds locally pumping up the fanbase, then watch the team put up 500 yards in the spring game and tell me that won't sell tickets. Heck if he just announces Gray is our QB going into the summer I think that sells tickets, especially with an NFL lockout.
Perfect storm for either him or Leach is that our D is going to come of age next year, they will be better no doubt, and add in Beal we will have a very solid D to go along with what will be a very strange and dangerous O in the Big Ten.
