Tulane has offered a multi-year contract extension to head coach Jon Sumrall in an attempt to keep him with the program, according to a report from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo!.
The contract extension offer would pay Sumrall more than $4 million per year, making him the second-highest paid coach in the Group of Five. Sumrall is the top candidate to become the next head coach at the University of Florida, and a decision from Sumrall is expected on Sunday.
Sumrall told reporters in the wake of his team's win on Saturday against Charlotte that he would discuss his future with Tulane athletic director David Harris amid "opportunities" that had presented themselves.
"I want tonight to be about this team."
