Auburn athletic director John Cohen will need to look elsewhere besides Tulane for the Tigers' next head football coach.
According to FootballScoop.com's John Brice, Jon Sumrall has withdrawn his name from the Auburn coaching search.

It's a big blow to Auburn as the 43-year-old Sumrall had been at the top of the list for the Tigers since the dismissal of Hugh Freeze on November 2.
