This statement which is not true shows he had an agenda. Also calls him Coach Dismissal, yeah not like Sumlin.
(Charlie Strong seems to be adding players to his roster at Texas with the intent of doing nothing but kicking them off the team.)
For the time being, the best Texas has to offer is A&M

There is no fan base enjoying its cake more than Texas A&M’s, which loves its master chef, Kevin Sumlin.
This a team that has had seven players arrested since the end of the 2013 season, but it’s all good in College Station.
Meanwhile, fans whine that TCU can’t win because Gary Patterson’s team is “full of thugs.†Patterson has had to boot a few of them off of his team. TCU was 4-8 last season.

Coach Sumlin, using the rhetoric winning coaches can easily dispense, is merely “taking care of his issues in-house.â€
The Aggies are 20-6 in Sumlin’s first two seasons and 2-0 in bowl games. It bears repeating that in big-time sports, win absolves sin.
Coach Sumlin, just keep ’em fooled and the statue will be done here shortly no matter how long the Aggies‘ rap sheet grows. They have already given you a raise, an extension and a $450 million facelift for your stadium.
Whatever doubt people like me had about Sumlin and A&M’s ability to compete in the SEC have been answered. They can hang. And hanging in the SEC is good enough to win Texas.
These things are fluid, but until the Big 12 can get its stuff together and the boneheads in charge finally let A&M play Texas, the Aggies are the flagship football school in a football state. Baylor is the highest-ranked team from Texas — 10th — but the Bears’ loss to Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl left a sour taste and good reason to be skeptical.
When Sumlin arrived to College Station in 2012 his job looked like a losing proposition: a team that could not win the Big 12 was entering the brutal SEC. In Austin was Coach February, Mack Brown, the best recruiter in the nation.
One Johnny Football and one win at No. 1 Alabama later, and Sumlin sits atop Texas only having to deal with Art Briles and Baylor for state supremacy. The ’Horns will have a say in this matter once Coach Dismissal begins winning at UT.
Life after Johnny begins on Thursday when the No. 21 Aggies open at No. 9 South Carolina. Not that many people bet, but the Aggies are 11-point underdogs.
If you are so inclined, or if you’re a Longhorn, Red Raider, Sooner, Bear or Horned Frog, you can dissect Sumlin’s record and devalue each win.
The win at Alabama two years ago was a result of good timing. The SEC West has been relatively weak. The other teams in the SEC aren’t cheating well enough.
The arguments against Sumlin are moot. The Aggies have held up in the SEC.
How well they hold up without Johnny is a major concern, but for the past two years the best team in Texas has been Texas A&M.
This is a compliment to the Aggies and an indictment of the Big 12.
The conference is one of the top three in the country, but the gap between the SEC and the rest remains so wide that no Texas team in the Big 12 looks like it could do any better than what A&M has done thus far.
Like many of you, I am sick of the SEC’s holier-than-thou football arrogance. But that league’s football pompousness is deserved.
This season has all of the makings to be a letdown for Sumlin and the Aggies. Of course, we said the same thing two years ago
