November 28, 2025
A person familiar with the search says Florida is moving on from Lane Kiffin and targeting Tulane’s Jon Sumrall as its next head coach. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because negotiations are ongoing and nothing is finalized. Sumrall also is considered to be Auburn’s top target to replace Hugh Freeze. On3 first reported the Gators’ decision to move on from Kiffin, which came after getting lukewarm feedback from Kiffin’s camp in recent days. The 43-year-old Sumrall played linebacker at Kentucky (2002-04) and returned to his alma mater for a three-year stint before becoming Troy’s head coach in 2022.
