Who's going to be Texas A&M's new defensive coordinator? It's a question that Aggies head coach Kevin Sumlin probably won't be able to answer for at least another couple weeks. But earlier today, his pool boy took to Twitter to reveal that Sumlin may have been speaking to a potential candidate on the phone. And Sumlin—who read his tweet and re-tweeted it before the pool boy was able to take it down—was not happy with the pool boy for putting his business out into the world. So he fired him:

You just lost your job!RT“@mcfarlandrk8: Just cleaned Sumlin's pool. Saw him on the phone, hopefully with our new DC!”

However, it's worth noting that Sumlin did fire one of his student assistants earlier today for hitting a couple of West Virginia players on the sideline yesterday. So who knows? Maybe Sumlin just wasn't in the mood for fun and games. In which case, does anyone know a good pool boy looking for work?
