re: Sumlin-zona

He signed a contract extension in '16 that takes him through '21. They'll owe him $8.1 million if they fire him this year and that drops to $6.9 in his last three years so odds are if they are done with him they'll wait another year as long as he gets them to another bowl.

I don't think they like all the 7 win seasons but I think most of them realize RichRod was more of an aberration than the norm.

IMO they should win 9 or more w/Grier running the show though. That dude is good and their offense should be able to put up big points on everyone in the conference. They'll probably be favored in every game up until November when they have the two Oklahoma schools to end the season. If their D can produce some turnovers vs OU and OSU they should have a good chance to win the conference.
