Texas A&M chancellor John Sharp was succinct on Friday morning when asked about football coach Kevin Sumlin.
As with any public discussion about Sumlin these days, questions of the coach's job security came up when Sharp sat down with the Texas Tribune. And when asked about Sumlin's job safety, Sharp delivered a five-word answer.
"I'm not the athletic director," Sharp said.
