Sexton doing Sexton things. No doubt Sumrall is on their radar, but an article I just read says Rett Lashley, the head coach at SMU is their guy. He is also SMU's guy and just signed an extension, don't think UNC can win a bidding war here. Dan Mullen was next, then the guy at Iowa State. Sexton is probably each one's agent.
I read elsewhere that Clint Dowdle, former partner with Sexton was his agent. Don’t know if that’s true though.
Sumrall at UNC might be good, that's a place we could get him away from in a couple of years if needed.
UNC has deeeeeep pockets. If they really want him they will make him an offer he can't refuse.
Truth is it's a good job too. The ACC is weak as any major conference could be. It would be a great place to build a name before moving on to one of the big name power schools.

THanks Mitch for tying us to another absurd contract to Stoops......zero reason we cna't get out of this and bring a KY boy back to UK to lead us to the next phase.....but your buddy deals take precedence.
With SEC TV money EASILY topping ACC money, we also have deep pockets, and a move from NC to UK would be viewed as a lateral move, at worst. If he landed an SEC gig, he would likely be out of the conversation with us in a year or two.
And the ACC will blow the Hell up in the near future, with FSU pushing the plunger.

I think Sexton is part of a firm, at least that was what was on Finebaum this week. So very likely there are several partners. But some would have to work closer to him than others.
UNC paid Mack 5 mil while UK paid stoops 9 mil. Maybe could pay more than they have been but they also have to give Mack 3 mil a year the next 4 years
