SumrAUll publicly interviewing for AU job

Here’s hoping it’s either him or Franklin. What matters most is the OC hire they make. I cannot suffer through another godawful offense like those we’ve dealt with for the past 5 years.

I don’t know if he’ll work out in the long run. But outside of hiring Kiffin, he’s the guy I’d take. Give this man war chest and two years to get his guys and get out of his way. JMO

Jon is our Dan Lanning....tell me I'm wrong.

Man I love that guy

I wanted Kiffin or Franklin, wishful thinking I know. But I think I am sold on this guy!

Welp! There it is folks. Put a fork in it Sumrall will suck.

I feel like at the end he was talking about Hugh..

Sign me up TODAY!

I like it.

He would absolutely crush it here.

He's now my number four choice.

He impresses me every time I hear him speak. Unlike what we have now.

He's the guy. He has it whether we get to see it at Auburn or not. Troy had 3 straight losing seasons he wins twelve his first year there. Replaces Fritz at Tulane wins nine his first year took Willie 7 years to get at least nine. Has his team in a good spot this year after only having 5 returning starters on his whole roster.

Would be nice to get a coach who can bring a proven QB. And that means a QB that doesn’t run a gimmicky offense.

Call me doom and gloom, but no way we get this guy. It's way too obvious he's the right guy for the job.

I’m just glad to see our fanbase is actually studying up on the guy and not just clambering to the fact the he’s “a g5 coach” bc I was in that boat until like the last 2 weeks. I did a deep dive on him and he was immediately my favorite coach out of everyone named. I wouldn’t mind Franklin and a few others but I think Sumrall has an edge to him not many coaches do

Yep, same. Also like that he has a lot of connections to this state and has SEC experience. Young, hungry, just about everyone knows his name(unlike Haskins), etc. I also wouldn't mind Key, but it just feels like he's GT through and through.

If not ours, he’ll be someone’s

If we get him it will be Sumrall year round! Hope its a 180 from the FREEZE we have been feeling.

I’m in… would love Key too but don’t see that happening

This answer was way too specific to not be about the Auburn job And I LOVE what he has to say

But does he take the stairs?

Btw this was brought up on the Recruiting Pod. Remember TWill getting a LB from GA by the name of Trevin Wallace, prior to Gus getting fired? Remember where he signed? Kentucky, with his primary recruiter being.....drum roll...Jon Sumrall. https://www.on3.com/rivals/trevin-wallace-115522/
