As Sumlin pursued LSU’s defensive coordinator John Chavis late last month, Sumlin’s pool boy did a little SEC espionage while cleaning the Sumlin family pool.

Sumlin promptly executed a public firing of his pool boy with the following tweet:

Recently, Sumlin clarified whether or not he actually fired the pool boy while providing some fatherly lessons for young people today:

That thing has kind of taken a life of its own. It’s a lesson for young people. If you have someone over at your house, there’s a degree of privacy that people who are working there need to respect. When you put it on Twitter, it jeopardizes that privacy. I didn’t fire him. The head of that pool company is a good friend and I told him that he didn’t have to get rid of him, he just can’t come back to my house anymore. I think it’s been blown out of proportion, but there are lessons that could be learned from that.
