I just saw three journalist tweet this. Apparently, they have offered the job to Kevin Sumlin. Stupid for them to leak this information a few days before the CUSA Champ game. Hopefully the Houston team, does not pay attention to it.

No respect whatsoever for our game with USM. F*cking losers.

Before the CUSA CC game! Classlesss. Don't do it Sumlin...things die in the desert...particularly coaching careers.

College Football has gotten more money grubbing then the NFL. The sport we love is being ruined by the BCS; NCAA and most pf all ESPN.

dick move on their part

Yep. Officially hate ASU now. #distractions

There's a ridiculous either/or at play here:

- Did they offer him without an interview?
- Did he interview the week of the CUSA Championship/week we can clinch a Sugar Bowl bid?

Something doesn't add up.

At least one source is saying this is not true.

I can confirm Arizona State has had zero official contact with Sumlin. Let alone offered him the job.

Guess you have to choose if you believe the beat writer for ASU or someone not affiliated with the program

Get ready USM fans

Yeah, I can't imagine a program doing that with a coach just before a bowl game.


Oh, wait. Houston did that like 12 years ago with Bob Pruett. Kharma sucks.

This isn't a bowl genius, it is the CUSA title game Then again I know you guys don't know much about either one

This is so stupid.

Hopefully Fedora and Sumlin sit down with their teams and let them know that they aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Personally, it should be against the rules to contact coaches until after everyones season, bowls included, is done.

Why would Sumlin consider leaving Houston? They are on the verge of being a "big boy" in a major BCS football conference.

$4 million versus $2 million. Plus its not going to get better once Keenum leaves. Strike while the iron is hot!

Actually majority of the D, Charlie Sims and the 4 OL come back. Not as bad as you think.

Sumlin also gets 1 million bonus to coach 2012.

Sumlin has not considered anything. He stated earlier this week that when he was approached about a contract extension, he told his superiors that he will focus on the CC and the BCS/bowl games before considering any contractual agreements.

Where do you get $4 million from? That's nearing Bob Stoops/Mack Brown money.

Highest I've seen is $2.5 million. That won't get Sumlin away from UH.

Or we could choose to believe our coach. Or we could not worry about it all.

What does the OOC schedule look like next year?

Arizone State is now backpeddling, but damage has already been done. Now claiming, "no contact" as of yet.

Sam Khan of Houston Chronicle says it isn't true.
