Not-An-Emergency Discussion: Expected Candidates in Unexpected Landing Spots (PREVIEW)
Update: 2025-12-01
Description
In the wake of Lane Kiffin leaving for LSU, it wasn't surprising that Jon Sumrall, Alex Golesh, and Eli Drinkwitz all ended up with SEC jobs. But none of them necessarily landed in the spots many assumed they'd move to! Steven Godfrey and Ryan Nanni discuss:
- How Sumrall went from assumed Auburn head coach to cold at Florida to Kiffin's successor to the choice in Gainesville
- Why Drinkwitz decided to pass up a shot at LSU, Florida, and Penn State
- The Kiffin move that forced Ole Miss's hiring decision
- Kentucky and the enduring power of rivalry hate
- The long, winding Arkansas search and how it ties in with Oklahoma State
