Report: Arizona to name Kevin Sumlin head coach
The Arizona Wildcats are bringing in one of the bigger names on the market to replace Rich Rodriguez.
Bruce Feldman of Fox Sports reported Sunday that the Wildcats will hire former Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin to take over at the school.

Arizona reportedly had another candidate on their radar, but that didn’t work out. Instead, they’ve turned to Sumlin, who has a track record of success. He has an 86-43 career record at Houston and Texas A&M, and never had a losing season with the Aggies. It’s a pretty solid hire for Arizona, who will be looking to take a step forward in 2018.
