Kevin Sumlin motivates his players during the UA vs Southern Utah game on Sep 15.

The holidays are a time of rest and receiving presents, and Kevin Sumlin’s Christmas came a couple days early. The energized and well-rested head coach, who just endured a roller coaster of a first season at Arizona, got to show off his new gifts to the local media on Wednesday afternoon.

The incoming 2019 recruits were just one aspect of the press conference, as Sumlin also went on to confirm that Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate would be back next year, as well as commenting on the rumored interest of hiring former NFL rushing king DeMarco Murray as the new running backs coach.
