After a whirlwind weekend that had Arizona supporters furiously refreshing their devices to keep up with all the twists and turns, the UA delivered the man they wanted from the start.
Kevin Sumlin is the new coach of the Wildcats, first-year athletic director Dave Heeke announced Sunday evening. Sumlin will be introduced to Tucson on Tuesday morning.
Sumlin, 53, comes to Arizona after a mostly successful six-year run at Texas A&M. Sumlin compiled a 51-26 record and coached a Heisman Trophy winner but was fired in late November after a fourth consecutive five-loss season. Each of his Aggies teams played in a bowl game.
