The two-time national coach of the year finalist recorded a 35-17 record during his four years at Houston, before taking over as Texas A&M’s new coach in December. But as Sumlin makes his return to College Station, Texas, he’ll do so as a SEC coach. While he hasn’t coached in this league before, he understands that size, strength and speed are on a new level down here. That’s why he pushed spring practice back two weeks after spring break in order to give strength and conditioning coach Larry Jackson eight full weeks to punish his new players and get them into the proper shape for a full SEC season.

They’ll be heading to the SEC blog, but before they go, I’ll finish with our tradition of naming what I’ll miss about the Aggies. Here are our other posts: What I’ll miss most about Mizzou What I’ll miss most about Nebraska What I’ll miss most about Colorado 1. The fans. No question, these guys are at the top of the list. When Nebraska left, Texas A&M inherited the title of “Big 12’s best fans.

Today, it’s Texas A&M’s turn. The SEC welcomes both schools into the league this coming football season, and consider this our introduction to the Aggies on the SEC blog. We get an assist from Big 12 blogger David Ubben. Let’s get right to it. Chris Low: It wasn’t a big secret that the SEC wanted to get into the state of Texas, and there were rumblings that the SEC had an offer on the table for both Texas A&M and Oklahoma two summers ago.

From a purely football perspective, the league has never been healthier. What will Missouri and Texas A&M add to the equation? The truth is that both schools probably needed the SEC more than the SEC needed them. The fertile recruiting ground in the state of Texas will be more inviting than ever before for SEC coaches now that a marquee school from that state is in the league.
