— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) November 30, 2025Tulane had reportedly offered to bump up Sumrall’s current deal with the Green Wave from $3 million to $4 million per season, but the Gators deal is significantly more lucrative – both in financial reward, vastly increased resources and the ability to succeed in the SEC.
Sumrall, 43, has deep SEC ties. He played at Kentucky from 2002-04 before being medically retired. He coached linebackers at Ole Miss in 2018 under head coach Matt Luke before moving to Kentucky to first coach linebackers and then serve as the Wildcats’ co-defensive coordinator under head coach Mark Stoops.
Sumrall departed Kentucky to become the head coach at Troy in 2022 and found instant success. The Trojans went 12-2 and won the Sun Belt crown in Sumrall’s first season and then went 11-2 with another Sun Belt title in 2023.
Tulane plucked Sumrall from Troy in 2024. He went 19-7 overall and 14-2 with the Green Wave, including back-to-back appearances in the American Conference championship game.
