Tulane Green Wave football coach Jon Sumrall looks like he may be taking the ideal step to become the next head coach of the Auburn Tigers. College Football HQ's James Parks reported the overwhelming 70% odds of Sumrall leaving New Orleans and the American for the Plains and the SEC.
CBS Sports' Chris Hummer, John Talty, and Matt Zenitz reported earlier this week that Sumrall was the clear favorite in Auburn's pool of candidates that also included interim head coach/defensive coordinator DJ Durkin, Vanderbilt Commodores football coach Clark Lea, and Missouri Tigers football coach Eli Drinkwitz.
