During Tuesday night’s weekly radio appearance, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin shot down reports claiming offensive coordinator Jake Spavital would not be retained at season’s end.

Spavital is said to be in the running for the North Texas job along with Oklahoma offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley.

Earlier this month, a Texas A&M fan posted a Spavital for sale ad on Craigslist:
