Bruce Feldman confirmed that Sumrall is on his way to Gainesville to replace Billy Napier at Florida. That would mean that Tulane was losing the very man who helped transform their postseason hopes into reality. But according to On3’s Pete Nakos, Jon Sumrall will continue as HC for the American Championship game. Tulane will have a solid chance of earning a playoff spot if it wins this game.
Jon Sumrall has been one of the most attractive names on the coaching carousel, and he finally moves on to the upper ranks. Neither program has made a formal announcement about the move yet.
