1500ESPN Reusse reports and speculates that Sumln is going to be named coach ---stay tuned for an official announcement. I can find nothing to corroborate the report.

That would be one of the worst things to ever happen.
 

Ack - I hope not. That's the one person I didn't want.
 





If they're reporting it, should it be online or have been said on the air (thus, defining having been "reported")? Did anyone else hear this announcement/read this announcement?
 

If this is true I will be hosting a Heaven's Gate like celebration this evening.
 



Now where's that damn pitchfork at?
 

Kevin Sumlin (born August 3, 1964 in Brewton, Alabama) is the current head coach for the University of Houston Cougars football team.[2] Sumlin is the first African American head football coach in the 60-year history of the Cougars program.[3]

He served as an assistant at Washington State, Wyoming, Minnesota, Purdue, served as assistant head coach at Texas A&M for two years, and as offensive coordinator for five years at Oklahoma under Bob Stoops. In addition to Stoops, he has served under R. C. Slocum, Mike Price and Dennis Erickson. In his final year with the Sooners, his offense was one of the best in the country, averaging 44 points per game.[3] In December 2009, it was announced that Sumlin was a finalist for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Award.
 

What? Patrick said his "best guess" was Sumlin and an announcement was nearly.
 





Reusse said to expect an announcement real soon. I heard it. Was his best guess based on his sources.
 

After all the other names mentioned, he would sound very much like a "had to settle for" coach. One hope though is that given it is ESPN reporting it, there is a very strong possibility this is not true.
 

I heard Reusse and the AP guy talking about Sumlin and it was their guess around 12:30. Not sure if its changed since then...changed from guess to yes.
 

Were there any private jets going to that destination today?
 




They just started their 2 p.m. show and aren't even talking about the Gopher job so I doubt its "breaking news".

EDIT...AP guy now saying he's heard 100 things from 100 sources. No quality information because no one knows whats going on which of course leads Souhan to refer to Maturi/Mona as Dumb and Dumber.
 



So, in other words, Patrick doesn't have any clue and taking a shot in the dark right? Some folks need to learn the difference between opinion and reporting around here...
 



Brewster would have been great with two different coordinators. Sumlin does not qualify,if we hire him after watching this defense all fall, Maturi is a lot less smart than I think he is.
 

Reusse

Not sure if Patrick is correct or not, but.....

at the end of the day, the Fulda Flash is still an idiot.....
 

I think I said that I could not find any other corroboration to the story. Some people need to understand what news reporting really is around here. I simply reported Reusse's opinion that was repeated on air with an official announcement to come soon.
