As Sumlin pursued LSU’s defensive coordinator John Chavis late last month, Sumlin’s pool boy did a little SEC espionage while cleaning the Sumlin family pool.
Sumlin promptly executed a public firing of his pool boy with the following tweet:
You just lost your job!RT“@mcfarlandrk8: Just cleaned Sumlin's pool. Saw him on the phone, hopefully with our new DC!”

Recently, Sumlin clarified whether or not he actually fired the pool boy while providing some fatherly lessons for young people today:
That thing has kind of taken a life of its own. It’s a lesson for young people. If you have someone over at your house, there’s a degree of privacy that people who are working there need to respect. When you put it on Twitter, it jeopardizes that privacy. I didn’t fire him. The head of that pool company is a good friend and I told him that he didn’t have to get rid of him, he just can’t come back to my house anymore. I think it’s been blown out of proportion, but there are lessons that could be learned from that.
