Jon Sumrall clarifies lack of interest from Auburn after Florida win

Florida coach Jon Sumrall stated after the Gators' 44-39 victory over Auburn on September 19, 2026, that neither party expressed interest in his potential coaching role at Auburn. Sumrall emphasized that reports of his interview for the position were unfounded.

Florida's next game is against No. 8 Ole Miss, while Auburn has recently hired Alex Golesh as their new coach.
