Tulane Green Wave head coach Jon Sumrall says he is not entertaining other jobs in this cycle.
Once seen as a fringe playoff contender coming off an impressive 8-game win streak and headed into the final stretch, it feels like a bit of a distant memory after a tough conclusion to the season that saw a Thanksgiving loss to.
The reality of that is that every time a head coach opening comes up, Sumrall is going to be named as a potential candidate. He's a rising superstar in the coaching world whose name is going to surface in rumors pretty much every upcoming coaching cycle. After moving on from Mack Brown, the"Do you want me to leave?" he asked. "I get asked about it every day right now and I’m like, I know we lost two games, everybody wants to run me out of town. But I’m here.
Sumrall would go on to tell the reporter that it's not impossible for that to change and compared it to if a newspaper offered to triple the reporter's salary but reaffirmed his desire to be here. After he seemingly left the door at least ajar with the salary comment, Green Wave fans were left nervous that he could at least entertain the possibility of leaving after just one season.
It's been a long past couple of week for Green Wave fans. But you can officially now rest easy at night knowing that Sumrall is sticking around for a year two. It's entirely possible that we are having this same discussion a year from now, but that's a bridge to be crossed at a later date.
