Ole Miss’s Hugh Freeze and Tennessee’s Butch Jones are two coaches who are on the hot seat entering the 2017 season, but the hottest seat in the SEC may belong to Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin,

After three-straight 8-5 seasons, the Aggies need to find a way to improve this fall or else their coach may be looking for work next offseason.

According to 247Sports, Sumlin said he feels the pressure to win, but it comes from inside, not from any external sources:

“I’ve done this a long time,” Sumlin said, “almost 30 years. For me, how I approach my job whether it’s anything written or anything said, there’s nobody that puts any more pressure on me than Kevin Sumlin.

“We all want the same thing. I came here to do a job and to win a championship. We haven’t done that yet. That being said, we’ve won more games than any [A&M teams] in the last 20 years.

“Are we better at Texas A&M now than we we got here? You bet. Is it where we want to be? No. Nobody wants to win more than me.”

However, Sumlin isn’t looking to make excuses, saying he knows it’s his job to get the Aggies to take a step forward this fall:

“My job is to fix it,” he said. “It’s not about talking about it. The biggest sign on our building says, ‘No excuses.’ It’s our job to get it fixed and that’s what we’re doing.”

Making Sumlin’s job harder is that he no longer has QB Trevor Knight, WR Josh Reynolds and DE Myles Garrett, among other star players, to work with.

If Sumlin can’t find some way to win nine or more games in 2017 with a cast of new contributors, his days in College Station could be numbered.
