This is the absolute BULL**** of Jon Sumrall.
He "PROBABLY" carried a Glock around on his hip.
So, first of all, California is not an open-carry state, or at least it was not so at the time of this alleged (bull****) story. Perhaps Sumrall is confessing to a crime because the statute of limitations has passed, or to build up his street cred. Whatever. All I know is that the University of San Diego is not located anywhere near the mean streets of South Central (as USC is). It's freakin' right next door to Sea World.
Second, I highly doubt the claim of making "less than 20K a year" at USD. Maybe that was his salary as a GA at Kentucky. But in his first paid coaching job, he worked at USD form 2007 to 2011. Before becoming the ASSISTANT HEAD COACH/DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, he was the DL coach AND the Recruiting Coordinator. Usually when you get TWO job designations, it is BECAUSE the university wants to justify paying you more money. Now, I get that USD is a Division I-AA school, and not as wealthy as SDSU across town. But I find it hard to believe that a college football coach doing TWO JOBS was making under $20K, even at an FCS school. And for the record, USD was a WINNING program in I-AA, the head coach right before Sumrall was hired was a guy by the name of Jim Harbaugh. Who went 11-1 the prior TWO years before Sumrall was hired.
Third, and this is where it gets really interesting, Sumrall has SPECIFIC knowledge of the type of gun (a Glock) but expresses uncertainty as to whether he wore it on his hip every night ("probably"). Highly unconvincing, and the typical evidence of a bull****ter (use of the word "probably" to describe an otherwise highly-specific factual claim).
Finally, and we'll just leave this one here, he claims he is "not in it for the money". Because he was not paid a lot IN HIS FIRST PAID JOB. But, hey, maybe he could see a FUTURE of "money". After all, the guy who was the USD HEAD COACH right before Sumrall took the USD job...went on to have THESE next 4 jobs: Head Coach at Stanford, Head Coach at San Francisco 49ers, Head Coach at Michigan, Head Coach at San Diego Chargers. So, you know, I don't know, maybe Sumrall knew he would EVENTUALLY be paid a lot more than "less than 20K per year". Maybe that's what caused him to coach at SIX DIFFERENT SCHOOLS in the past 10 seasons. After all, we can't expect him to take pay cuts at any of those six different schools, right?
Jon Sumrall is a world-class bull****ter. He may be fooling the Gator recruits for now. But over time, truth wins out.
We were supposed to have three, but thankfully the VT game just got moved over to Saturday.
