Sumrall was the head coach of the Green Wave in 2024 and 2025.He was 9-5 in his first season and 10-2 in his second season.He replaced Willie Fritz, who left the program after the 2023 season to take the Houston Cougars job.Tulane didn’t seem to miss a beat under Sumrall as their 10-win season this year was the third time the school reached the mark in four years.

He will take over a Florida team that has been anxious to return to its past glory.The school was previously rumored to be in the running for Lane Kiffin, but it appeared that Kiffin was either choosing between staying at Ole Miss or taking the LSU Tigers’ job.
