With the current college football season having not even concluded yet, the saga surrounding Florida‘s head-coaching search has already been hectic.
The storylines surrounding Ole Miss’ Lane Kiffin are abundant, but reports emerged earlier Wednesday that Jon Sumrall would be meeting with representatives from Florida later in the night.
Of course, that report was later refuted, and with On3’s Florida beat writer being the one to break the news before the outlet’s national insider said the meeting had been called off. NOLA.com’s Tulane source disputed that there was ever a meeting in the first place.
So amidst it all, Sumrall decided to have some fun. He posted an image to X/Twitter with the caption: “Most important meeting I have all week…Wednesday Night with QB’s! @On3sports”
Sumrall appears to be locked in to potentially guiding two-loss Tulane to a College Football Playoff appearance…at least for this evening.
Sumrall’s name has swirled around the openings at Auburn and Florida, and for good reason. He boasts a 40-11 overall record in his four years as a head coach, including a pair of 10-win campaigns at Troy.
Between his stints with the Trojans and Green Wave as well as various roles at SEC programs in the past, the former Kentucky linebacker has been well-indoctrinated into the Southeast and seems primed for a step up.
Parker is currently the sports editor for the Enterprise-Journal in McComb, Mississippi. He's a graduate from Mizzou who has experience covering the Tiger football and basketball beats for SB Nation, and he's worked for a variety of sports news outlets in the past.
