Before Jon Sumrall ever became the Florida Gators’ next savior du jour, he could have been UCF’s head coach.
And not in the vague, “his agent inquired about the job” sort of way.
Tulane’s Sumrall interviewed. He impressed. He connected. UCF AD Terry Mohajir walked out of the room believing Sumrall could win big in Orlando.
Of course, that all gets lost in the glow of what happened next:
Scott Frost entered the picture and let Mohajir and UCF’s administration know that he desperately wanted to return to UCF.
If Frost had been nothing more than nostalgia in shoulder pads — a warm memory from an undefeated Peach Bowl season — this might be a different story.
