Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin 'has to win this year,' says Aggies AD

DESTIN, Florida -- After guiding Texas A&M to three consecutive 8-5 seasons, Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin needs to do better, starting this coming season, according to athletic director Scott Woodward.

"Coach Sumlin knows he has to win," Woodward said during an appearance on The Paul Finebaum Show on Tuesday. "He has to win this year. He has to do better than he has done in the past."

Sumlin, 52, has a 44-21 record in five seasons at Texas A&M, 21-19 against SEC foes. After the Aggies went 11-2 and quarterback Johnny Manziel won the Heisman Trophy in their first season in the SEC in 2012, they haven't finished better than fourth place in the SEC West in the four seasons since.
