The college football coaching carousel took a major turn as ESPN’s Pete Thamel reported that Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall has emerged as the clear front-runner for the Florida Gators’ head coaching job. With several major SEC programs preparing to make moves, Sumrall’s rise to the top of Florida’s board is creating ripple effects across the conference, especially for Arkansas.
Thamel detailed the landscape on Saturday, saying:
“There are huge dominoes to fall after Lane Kiffin… Let’s start with Tulane coach Jon Sumrall. He’s had significant interest from Auburn, significant interest from Florida, he could end up in the Ole Miss–LSU mix depending on what Lane does.
