Kevin Sumlin tweeted the eyes emoji not long after the conclusion of the Texas A&M-Auburn game. He didn’t provide any context in that tweet or any later tweets. The tweet could be about anything, but plenty of Aggies fans thought it was about Texas A&M’s 28-20 loss to Auburn, as evidenced by the replies below:
You’re still worse. Much. Much. Worse.

Don't you have a generational talent at QB to mismanage?

You know the worst part about that game? It felt like you were still coaching it

Will you be watching Kyle Allen and Kyler Murray play one another on Sunday in an NFL game? Is that what you're telling us?

Did that game remind you of your days here when true freshman QB Shea Patterson put up 23 unanswered against you in the 4th quarter in his first collegiate start? For as bad as this game was, it’ll never be as bad as it was in 2015-17 with you here.

It's almost like every non Johnny team you coached in November.

Can’t play Hawaii every week.

Someone’s still salty about getting fired

Should probably get back to ruining Tate’s career.

You lost at home every time to the kitties! Maybe you should focus on your own DUMP of a program!!!

Please Kevin, tell us more about how great of a coach you are by managing to run off Kenny Hill, Kyle Allen AND Kyler Murray

Considering Sumlin was paid quite handsomely to both coach and not coach Texas A&M, it’s not the best look for the former head coach and hard to blame the fans for their response.
Classy.
Sumlin probably should’ve held that close to the vest, even though it looks like Jimbo Fisher may have sold a bill of goods. aTm is getting the same results with Fisher, but Sumlin actually beat Alabama. Fisher doesn’t exactly have QB’s lighting up in the NFL either and looks like the book is out on Mond.
So in year two, Fisher lost to #1 and #4 with no blow outs and only 6-7 SRs? That isn’t a bill of goods. That is improvement. Especially when injuries have thinned the RB position from a strength to a weakness.
Sumlin didn’t beat Alabama, Manziel did. If you watched that game, it wasn’t about coaching, Manziel just ran all over them. As for Fisher, his coaching was certainly questionable in this one and he fully admits it. He went the safe route, using vets over young and better talent and played conservatively on offense. He claims that won’t happen again so we shall see. We do know he makes good adjustments at the half and did so this time as well, it just wasn’t enough. We’ve also seen him utilize some great game plans last season so this may just be a hiccup. Elko wasn’t exactly prepared on defense either, they simply got one-upped on this one all the way around.
He was probably drinking when he tweeted it…
Jimbo is definitely overrated. Remove Jameis Winston from his resume and I’m not sure we’d know his name.
That said, I’m going to wait for the post-Kellen Mond stage of his A&M career to make any judgements.
But didn’t you just make a judgement? You don’t win natty’s by luck, Winston or no Winston.
Chizik won one. I don’t think anyone truly gives him the credit for it though.
So true
I know A&M is glad that loser is not around any more.
I don’t know if loser is the right term. Limited maybe.
To lovindagame :
Yeah: we all know players get credit for the wins and coaches get the blame for the losses
After the torching you guys just gave him I doubt he’ll ever tweet again. Man!
