🏈 Trash Fire at Texas A&M

Most of that pre-dates Sumliin. There may be some ex Aggie players out there hiring attorneys and putting the former trainer under oath.

The whole comments to Real Sports seem silly to me, what coach doesn't press a trainer to make them better faster... The lawsuit, that's a whole other issue, obviously he feels like he was wronged and he's willing to do something about it.

With regards to Texas A&M, they haven't really had the depth needed at most positions to compete in the SEC, especially on the defensive side of the ball so I would see this holding a bit more truth early in their SEC journey. Karl Kapchiniski worked at Texas A&M for 31 years and was fired (2 years into Sumlin's HC gig and 1.5 years into AD Eric Hyman's gig). Perhaps it's coincidence...who knows.

A trainer can't make them better faster. If a player was cleared before they should have been, it opens the school up for a lawsuit. If a trainer cleared a player due to fear of losing his/her job, that's another lawsuit.

I said it early last season, they're trying to run Sumlin out of there.
