Earlier today the University of Arizona announced that it has fired Head Football coach Kevin Sumlin. This comes one day after Sumlin led the Wildcats to the biggest margin of defeat to rival Arizona St. 70-7. The Wildcats are 0-5 in the shortened season due to Covid-19. Arizona was thought to be looking for another game next weekend, but after today’s firing it’s unsure if the school week try to get another game on their schedule.
Sumlin came to Arizona with high expectations and has under preformed since he took the job. The Wildcat’s are 9-20 under Sumlin with just 6 conference victories. Sumlin had two years left on his contract and the University has decided to honor the contract and buy him out for $75 million.
The school now needs to hit a homerun with it’s next hire. ASU already dominates the state in recruiting ever since Herm Edwards was hired the same year as Sumlin. Who will be the next head coach for the Wildcats? Only time will tell.
