A drama-filled December for Texas AM footballcarried over into the new year with the resignation of on Tuesday and the hasty appointment of Washington's to take his place.All that has re-ignited speculation surroundingthe future of Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin.MORE: | Such was the crux of a series of recent reports by the Texas Longhorns blogHorns Digest and reporter Chip Brown, which, behind a paywall, cited sources suggesting Texas AM ChancellorJohn Sharp has been campaigning to have Sumlin fired.Sharp's office i sued a sharp Allen Robinson Jersey -tongued statement Thursday denouncing Brown's reporting."Austin-based sports blogger Chip Browns last attempt to report on Texas AM football, on December 17, 2015, was apparently only the first in a series of fairy tales he intends to spin," the statement began. "Chancellor John Sharp made it clear to another reporter (Brent Zwerneman) that Browns speculation about him trying to get Kevin Sumlin fired was indeed a fairy tale. And there is no Adam Shaheen Jersey one more unethical than a reporter who has been embarra sed by being called out for mi stating information who then decides to seek revenge. This new report a fairy tale on steroids seems to be Chip Browns attempt at revenge."The statement goes on to discredit various details in Brown's report. It's a doozy, and can be read in its entirety below.All isn't well in College Station.After a disappointing 8-5season for the Aggies that ended in a 27-21lo s to Louisvillein theMusic City Bowl, offensive coordinatorJake Spavital became collateral damage when he and the school"mutually decided to part ways." That followed the double whammytransfers ofstarting quarterbacksKyle Allen and Kyler Murray in December.Sumlin, having completed his fourth season with the Aggies, receiveda vote of confidence fromTexas AM presidentMichael K. Young in the aftermath of Hyman's departure. But thathasn't quelled rumors. on Mondaysaid that Sumlin has been "trying hard"to secure a NFL coaching job.The remainder of Sharp's statement read as follows:Discu sing the budget for the redevelopment of Kyle Field, which was revised in December 2014 from $450 million to $485 million, Brown says that Im told actually cost $520 million because of $70 million in overruns. This is hogwash. The project was delivered on time and on budget. Anything outside of this would have required a vote by the Board of Regents, and that was never nece sary.Brown then says that the biggest problem facing AM as it pays off Tom Waddle Jersey $350 million bonded to the university is that most of the pledges made to help finance a big chunk of the renovation costs were made back when oil was between $80 and $107 a barrel. Oil is now hovering around $35 a barrel. Fact: the initial financing plan included $125 million in pledges, which are already in hand. Any speculation about the effect of oil prices? More hogwash. Brown has his mind set on a false narrative and isnt letting facts stand in his way.Browns new fairy story continues with lies about Chancellor Sharps involvement with Kyler Murrays recruitment. Chancellor Sharp has never met Kyler Murray or his parents and has never been involved with his recruitment or the recruitment of any other student athlete. Indeed, no one has ever asked him to be involved in recruitment, and we challenge Mr. Brown to produce one student athlete Chancellor Sharp helped Ha Ha Clinton-Dix Jersey recruit. His unnamed sources have steered him way off course.Next on the list of falsehoods: that Chancellor Sharp was blowing up the phones of Sumlin and Spavital starting in the middle of the Alabama game to get Kyler Murray more involved. Anyone who was in the Chancellors suite that day knows this is 100% not true. He was watching the game with his guests, not dialing up the coaches.Apparently Mr. Browns hate for Texas AM and Chancellor Sharp has gotten in Jim McMahon Jersey the way of his doing even the most basic fact-checking. At the beginning of his diatribe, he refers to Chancellor Sharp and former Governor Rick Perry as roommates at Texas AM. They were never roommates. Mr. Brown says he covered Governor Perry and then-Comptroller Sharp as a news reporter for the A sociated Pre s; Chancellor Sharp says he wouldnt know Chip Brown from Adams housecat.We respectfully suggest that Mr. Brown should consider sticking to covering UT football and leave reporting on Texas AM to reporters who pay closer attention to the facts and who do not have some kind of personal axe to grind with John Sharp. In the meantime, we hereby nominate Cowchip Brown for sleaziest reporter in Texas, with full confidence he will win hands down."
