During his weekly media conference, and for the second time in two days, Tulane football coach Jon Sumrall was asked to comment on speculation that he is up for various coaching opportunities at Power Four schools, including LSU. Though Sumrall said much of the same as what he did on Monday when we talked to him, he did elaborate more effusively later in his comments. When asked about these rumors, this was his response today (Tuesday) to the media on-hand. Sumrall: I love all y’all for being here, for covering our program. I’m grateful for it. You got a job to do, you got to ask that question. I got a job to do, it’s to coach this football team. I’ve dealt with it every year as a head coach. I understand it comes with territory. I get those questions because we’re having success. That’s about our players. And the coaching carousel to me is not even a thought because we’re in the mid-season phase. So whatever somebody else wants to do, another program wants to do, what people want to speculate, they’re free
