Last week, Steven Godfrey of the Washington Post reported that Auburn was set to hire Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall as the successor to recently fired Hugh Freeze.

“Jon Sumrall's going to Auburn,” Godfrey stated. “… As of right now, Jon Sumrall is going to Auburn. I've heard conflicting schedules on how Auburn would handle a Tulane playoff run. But yeah, if you're Auburn right now, you need to be cheering against Tulane (qualifying for the College Football Playoff).”

However, just days later, it appears that’s far from a done deal — if it happens at all.

Multiple reports indicated on Friday that Sumrall was the new favorite to take the vacant Florida Gators head-coaching gig after it was revealed that Lane Kiffin had narrowed his decision down to Ole Miss and LSU.
