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.

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.
