Kenny Hill, Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray? Transferred.

Mark Snyder, Jake Spavital, B.J. Anderson, Dave Christensen, David Beaty and Mark Hagen? No longer on the staff.

Fans and boosters? Well, that’s less definitive. But it appears that at least some no longer belong in coach Kevin Sumlin’s camp.

There’s been plenty of change within the football team in the last two years. And it’s clear that changes in an official capacity are just the proverbial tip of the iceberg when it comes to the behind-the-scenes politics in College Station.

There have been public reports — Kyle Allen blamed Texas A&M’s athletic department for a culture of entitlement and several baseball players blamed Murray for being entitled — as well as plenty of message board rumors and whispers.

The bottom line is this: Somewhere along the way, Sumlin lost control of the inner workings of his program.

Although signing five-star quarterbacks in back-to-back classes is a bit unique, College Station isn’t the only place where there have been competitive, high-profile players who are sensitive or entitled, or who come attached to overbearing parents.

Texas A&M isn’t the only school with boosters that have a political agenda and that must be placated.

The Aggies aren’t the only program in the SEC with big-egoed assistant coaches who don’t always agree or get along.

Being a head football coach at a big program — even at the high school level — is in some ways political. Never mind at a big-time SEC school that during Sumlin’s tenure became flush with oil money (just as Johnny Manziel became quarterback) and claims one of the best endowments in the country.

It’s the job of the head coach to manage all those dissenting parts. To keep all the quibbles and politics behind closed doors and out of the public eye. To make sure that when a team takes the field, every player and coach are all working toward the same common goal of winning, and have all bought into the same strategic approach.

Do you think a player’s father is ever going to barge into Les Miles’ office at LSU and feel like he’ll be able to tell the Tigers coach what to do?

Do you think Nick Saban would ever let offensive coordinator Lane Kiffin and receivers coach Billy Napier disagree to the point that they’re playing a somewhat public tug-of-war with the quarterbacks and play-calling?

Do you think a coach like Steve Spurrier would ever let big-money boosters attempt to hold his decision-making hostage?

No, no and no.

Sumlin has been paid $5 million per year since 2014, the second-highest salary in the SEC. That figure no longer is as lucrative as it once was. Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze will average $4.925 million per season over the next four years, based on the new contract he signed recently.

Still, Texas A&M isn’t paying Sumlin that kind of money to finish 11-13 in the SEC, like he has the last three seasons.

There are much larger problems in College Station than just wins and losses.

The Aggies haven’t possessed the same talent as, say, Alabama, but Texas A&M accounted for a whopping five first-round picks in the last three NFL drafts.

To his credit, Sumlin made the Texas A&M brand cool. There’s the Swagcopter and the commendable recruiting. He relates to young players in a way that seems authentic. He’s strong without being a dictator, and he’s friendly without being a goofy, orchestrated kind of loose.

He managed to win big with Johnny Football at quarterback and Kliff Kingsbury calling plays for him. Whatever role he had in a more than $450 million renovation of Kyle Field, he played at least some part in rounding up those funds.

Sumlin must summon every bit of that charisma and political savvy to regain control of the team in every aspect.

He’s managed to secure transfer quarterback Trevor Knight while holding onto a commitment from five-star 2017 quarterback commitment Tate Martell. He’s seemingly cut out the clashing parts of the offensive coaching staff. Perhaps all those are a start, but they were all glaringly-obvious necessities.

He’s got to do a lot more to change this.

“When you don’t have players like Johnny and [others] there anymore, you have to really come together as a team and scrap for wins,” Kyle Allen said, according to CBSSports.com. “We had a lot of people who were talking about the same goal but weren’t all committed and on the same page to get to that goal.

“For you to win in the SEC — especially the SEC West — 10 games a year and be a controlling powerhouse in that conference, you can’t have a bunch of people going different ways.

“Everyone wasn’t in a straight line. Everyone was going this way, this way, this way. We had a ton of talent there. I think that, once you get all the right coaches there and get the vision right, you can do a lot of things.”

Scrapping together a winning record in the SEC, with renewed prowess on offense and John Chavis-led defensive progress, could help Sumlin keep his job into 2017 and beyond. But that’s not going to happen unless he shows everyone involved he’s a capable boss and a respected leader.

One way or another, expect some Texas-sized drama in the Lone Star State this football season.
