Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin is the most likely Power Five head coach to be fired after 2017, an anonymous media poll concluded.

From Heisman favorites to team predictions, Awful Announcing's 2017 media survey delved into every aspect of college football. They surveyed 18 college football media members on each topic.

"Texas A&M's Kevin Sumlin (six votes) edged UCLA's Jim Mora (four votes) as the choice for first Power 5 head coach fired in 2017...Respondents felt Texas A&M (six votes) would be the biggest job available after 2017, edging Notre Dame (five votes), Tennessee (four votes), and UCLA (three votes)," the survey said.

The Aggie head coach enters 2017 finishing 8-5 in each of the past three seasons. His team experienced its fifth quarterback competition in six years. Sumlin hasn't named a starter with four days until the season opener, which is the latest he's ever gone.

On the defensive side, Texas A&M said goodbye to several key players. Three of its four most productive linebackers in 2016 -- Shaan Washington, Claude George and Richard Moore -- left the program. The departures of Myles Garrett, Daeshon Hall and James Lockhart rendered a void at defensive end too. Arguably A&M's best defensive contributor last season, Justin Evans, was taken in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft.

Christian Kirk, Armani Watts, Donovan Wilson and Trayveon Williams are among key players returning on this squad. But for Sumlin to keep his job, several unproven players -- on both sides of the ball -- must step up.

SportsDay's Ben Baby predicted the Aggies to finish 6-6 this season. With athletic director Scott Woodward urging in late May, "Coach knows he has to win, and he has to win this year..." a 6-6 decline would likely mean bad news for Sumlin.

Fortunately for the Aggies, this is perhaps the most vulnerable the SEC's been in recent memory. A&M's schedule plays out nicely as well. UCLA similarly lost key players after 2016 and faces plenty of uncertainty. The Aggies haven't lost to Arkansas or South Carolina since joining the SEC. Ole Miss recently underwent disaster, while Mississippi State is coming off a 6-7 season.

Sumlin's Aggies aren't assured any success this season -- but so are most of the other teams in the SEC. Texas A&M can easily start 5-0 once again, and another eight-win season doesn't necessarily mean Sumlin will receive the boot. If Texas A&M defends the run, competes well, stabilizes the quarterback position and/or finishes its season strong, fans will be pleased with Kevin Sumlin.
