Florida reportedly had an interview with a coaching candidate set for this week, but now it appears the interview is off.

Per On3’s Pete Nakos, Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall will no longer meet with the Gators after previously having a meeting scheduled for Thursday. According to Nakos, “the meeting on the books has been called off.”

Sumrall has been a popular name in this year’s coaching carousel, being linked to Auburn along with Florida. It’s unclear whether he is pulling his name out of the race for the job in Gainesville or if he’s keeping his focus on the rest of the season in New Orleans.

Last month, Sumrall made it clear he wasn’t interested in discussing head coaching vacancies during the season.

“The coaching carousel to me is not even a thought because we’re in the midseason phase,” Sumrall said ahead of Tulane’s contest with UTSA (h/t 247Sports’ Graham Hall). “So whatever somebody else wants to do, another program wants to do, what people want to speculate, they’re free to do that. UTSA has my 100% focus. Our team playing the best it can has my 100% focus.”

Sumrall is in his fourth season as a head coach. He was Troy’s head coach from 2022 to 2023 before taking over at Tulane.

He has a 40-11 record as a head coach with a pair of Sun Belt titles on his resume.

This year, Sumrall has the Green Wave sitting at 8-2, ranked No. 24 in the most recent College Football Playoff poll. As the rankings stand now, Tulane would get into the CFP as the highest-ranked Group of Five team. If the season ended today, the Green Wave would have a first-round matchup against No. 5 Texas Tech.

Despite his team’s CFP standing, Sumrall is not satisfied by what he’s seen this year.

“I’ll just be very candid, there’s some days I feel like we’re one of the bottom 25 teams in the country watching us play,” he said. “If we want to start feeling comfortable or casual about somebody wanting to vote us in the top 25 teams. There must be a lot of bad football going on if we’re one of the top 25 teams… We’re average. We’re an average team.”

Sumrall and the Green Wave will look to improve their Playoff chances in their final two games against Temple and Charlotte.
