Former Arizona football coach Kevin Sumlin hired as Maryland’s co-offensive coordinator, tight ends coach

The least successful head coach in Arizona history is back in college football.

Kevin Sumlin has been hired by Maryland to be its co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, according to Jeff Erman of InsideMDSports.com.

Sumlin, 58, returns to college after spending the 2022 season as head coach and general manager of the USFL’s Houston Gamblers, where he went 3-7 last spring. He was out of football in 2021 after coaching the UA from 2018-20.

Arizona was 9-20 under Sumlin, who was hired in January 2018 after Rich Rodriguez was led go despite five bowl appearances in six seasons.
