There's gonna be a flood of tears no matter who they end up with now. But hiring Sumrall after Sunbelt Billy is definitely a choice.
Can he recruit? Don't know.
What do his teams look like with a roster full of his players? Don't know.
Sumrall only has 4 years of HC experience. He spent 2 years in the Sunbelt as HC as Troy, followed by two years in the AAC as HC of Tulane.
He's never beaten a P4 team, and only has 1 career win against the top 25.
That 1 win was back in 2022 when Troy beat #25 UTSA in the Cure Bowl. Troy finished unranked.
