Kevin Sumlin getting torched by fans after losing to rival by 63 points

Remember when Kevin Sumlin was a hot coaching candidate?
Coming off of a 12-1 2011 season at Houston, Texas A&M hired Sumlin away from the Cougars. Sumlin then went 11-2 in his first season as the Aggies head coach with quarterback Johnny Manziel and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. However, that was short-lived.
Sumlin was fired in 2017 after going 7-5 (51-26 overall), and he never finished better than 4th place in the SEC West other than 2012.
Arizona then hired Sumlin to be its next head coach in 2018, and he’s had a brutal tenure so far. Specifically in 2020, Sumlin is 0-5 and holds an overall 9-20 record at Arizona in just under 3 seasons. Friday night’s 70-7 loss to rival Arizona State has been the low point.
It’s unclear if Sumlin will get another season, but fans want him gone after the blowout loss.
Kevin Sumlin better be fired by the time I wake up.

I don’t know if he’ll get fired this year but Kevin Sumlin is certainly on the hot seat now. Losing your rivalry game by 63 points is totally unacceptable

Kevin Sumlin benefitted from having Johnny Football and Kliff Kingsbury. He has no business being a head coach

That Kevin Sumlin didn’t get fired at halftime is astonishing

Kevin Sumlin is not a good coach imo. he benefited from Case Keenum and Johnny Manziel while managing to run off Kyler Murray and Kyle Allen

Arizona State beat the over/under for this by themselves, my goodness.
What the hell happened to Kevin Sumlin? Remember back in 2014 when he was the IT guy to jump coaching college to the pros? https://t.co/2t3PBuUfqE
