It’s a new season in college football as SEC Media Days in underway in Hoover, AL.
Today Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin took the podium to give the state of the union for the Aggies. Of course he very famous former QB came up during the Q&A, but I’m not sure Sumlin was thinking it would be the first thing that got asked about:
First question to Kevin Sumlin is basically "What's it like not coaching Johnny Manziel?"

Sumlin’s response to @BobHoltADG: “Let me get this straight. You want me to talk about NOT coaching Johnny Manziel?"

Then it didn’t stop and Sumlin was asked about Manziel partying before his NFL time with the Browns really starts:
Sumlin tired of Johnny questions: “Is this the SEC media days? That’s a great question … about the Cleveland Browns."

Sumlin is in a tough spot here. Does he want to answer questions about Johnny right now especially since he isn’t on his team anymore? No. But does he and the A&M program owe a lot of its success to the Heisman winner? Yes.
So naturally he will be asked about him. I would advise the rest of the media to go easy on the Johnny questions to Kevin for the time being.
