Tulane coach Jon Sumrall has emerged as the clear favorite to be the next head coach of the Florida Gators, sources tell ESPN's Pete Thamel.
Florida turned its attention away from Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin earlier this week after getting the sense through irregular communication that he is interested in other options, likely a move to LSU or remaining with the Rebels, sources told ESPN on Friday.
Sumrall is expected to make a decision on his future by Sunday morning as he considers staying at Tulane, or a move to Gainesville.
