Former Texas A&M head coach Kevin Warren Sumlin will be the new coach of the Arizona football team. Although Arizona Athletics has not issued an official statement, a formal announcement is expected soon.
Landing Kevin Sumlin wraps up a two week coaching search and in the end, Arizona might have ended up with one of the best options. Sumlin will come to Tucson with a current head coaching record of 86-43 and is 4-3 in bowl games.
Sumlin, 53, comes from a strong football background. He was a starting linebacker for Purdue University from 1983-1986 and ranks seventh in school history in career tackles with 375.
