Florida football head coach Jon Sumrall spoke with the press on Monday morning about the state of his team and their upcoming Week 11 matchup against the Kentucky Wildcats in Lexington.
Among the topics covered by the Gators' skipper were his thoughts on returning to the Bluegrass State and what it means to him and his family, as well as the status of recently suspended defensive tackle Jeramiah McCloud, reflections on the challenges of his first year at the head of a Power Four program, retaining talent in the transfer portal era, how much control he exerts over his staff, the current quarterback situation, and more.
Below is a look at what Sumrall told the media on Monday during his weekly press conference.
Jon Sumrall's opening statement
Alright, wrapping up last Saturday
— missed opportunity. Not good enough by us, obviously. Disappointed in maybe our detail, execution in a lot of areas, and we have to be better than what we were. Focused on moving forward, getting ready for a really good Kentucky team on the road, a team that I think has played really good football all year.
I say this a lot to our guys: most games aren't won; they're lost. Somebody will lose it. We've done that a couple times this year. They've done a really good job of turnover margin, little things that have kept them in games to be successful. They're playing really good football. They're a talented team. It's maybe the best offensive line we've seen all year, and that's not just coach-speak; they're really good upfront offensively.
They have a good identity; they do, they remind me a little bit of what Buster and our staff does offensively with shifts, motions, formations that you have to be prepared for that some of it you can't really be prepared for because there's going to be some things that are new that you haven't seen on tape.
Then defensively, Jay Bateman is doing a really good job there. They're sound; they play hard, you can tell they're really well coached. There's a few leftover players from when Brad was there. There's some new additions, too, but they look like a high-football-IQ team.
And so, gotta go on the road — SEC matchup, a game that has been played for a long time, and we have to play better football. So with that, we'll open it up.
Has Sumrall reflected on his journey as he heads back to Kentucky?
Yeah, don't have the time to do a lot of reflecting right now, but Kentucky has given me a lot. I wouldn't be where I'm at today if it weren't for the University of Kentucky. You know, they were one of the schools I was able to trick into offering me a scholarship out of high school, and so I was fortunate enough to get a chance to play there, and then so, played there for 4 years.
I kid around with people; I led the team in trips in 2004 and I wasn't good enough to actually attack anybody, but I tripped a lot of people that year. And then I GAed there '05 and '06, went back to work for Coach Stoops, '19, '20 and '21.
You know, I'm a Florida Gator, but I wouldn't be where I'm at without maybe some of the things that Kentucky's done for me individually. I have a lot of respect for the place and tons of great friends and relationships that have been forged over the years of my time there, and, but this is not a reflection week. This game's got very little to do about my ties to the place. It's about how do I get our team ready to play better and match really how they're playing, to be quite honest with you.
So I've got my full focus on how to help our guys get better and help our team get better, but there is that component to it.
On Kentucky being a unique recruiting landscape with Ohio right there
I do think that's something they've done a nice job of — even going really back a long time. Mark Stoops probably did the best job of recruiting Ohio there out of anybody in a long time with his ties, being from Youngstown, but it is a unique place where they're kind of the top of the south, if you will. They can dip down and then they can go up to and be regionally close to a lot of people in both landscapes, the Midwest and the Southeast.
So their roster reflects that, too, and they got guys from all over the place.
Jeramiah McCloud suspension update
Conversation went good. You know, made sure he understood that our desire was for him to return, but his return was gonna be on my terms, not his terms, and the program's terms, and his teammates' terms, and our leadership council's terms. No one individual is bigger in the program. That includes myself or anybody in the building.
And so, his conduct, maybe the front of the last week was not becoming of what it takes to be a part of this team. He owned it and he was back with us today. He rejoined us today. We met yesterday afternoon and he's with us and will be a full participant this week, and I got a lot of confidence that he'll understand what that accountability component looks like, and he was great with me yesterday and had a good practice today and I have nothing but high hopes for how he handles this moving forward.
Will McCloud play on Saturday?
Well, he'll be available. I mean, I think he's gonna play. He's gotta practice this week. You know what I mean? Today's Monday. Everybody, in my mind, on Monday, everybody's questionable, you know what I mean? But yeah, I think I think he's going to play. I mean, barring something that doesn't need to happen happening, he's going to play.
On what Sumrall has learned as a first-year Power Four coach
Man, a lot. You know, I reflect back, there's plenty I feel like we've done right. There's plenty of things I've maybe regretted or second-guessed, which you could all – you know, hindsight they say is 50-50, right, or 20-20, I don't know which one.
But there's a lot of things I look back and go, man, maybe I could have done that differently; it would have helped us be better. I don't waste a whole lot of time on could'a, would'a, should'a, but I do think you constantly have to do after-action reviews on everything. And you have to own the good and the bad.
And so, I think maybe there's a lot of roster-building things I learned that I think will help us moving forward, that I already kind of knew. Some of it — helping create momentum internally — that'll help us build it the right way, too. Like, there's certain things we have to lean into to do a better job to create the resourcing we need to be at the highest level in this conference.
But I think the process of how we practice, the rhythm, the routines, it's the same, the same process we did that beat Ole Miss and beat Texas have lost us games, too. And so I think it's helping our guys find consistency within their preparation, week-in, week-out.
But there's a lot of things that, as I look back, you know, when you're in the middle of the grind of the season, you're trying to go 1-0 every week, you do constantly, like, reflect on what could we have done better? And I keep really detailed notes on all that stuff and there's a lot that — I go back to last the end of November last year, when I got hired to where I'm like, "Okay, I would do this differently, okay, I think this was done the right way."
From a football perspective, there's plenty of things that I think we have to prove upon that we probably don't have enough time to discuss all of it today, but you're constantly learning. I think you have to always learn to evolve and adapt or you're going to continue to make the same mistakes over and over."
Did Sumrall try to keep Jordan Castell when he arrived?
Tried to keep him, tried to keep (Aaron) Gates, both the guys that are on their roster. Thought we were keeping Gates, to be quite honest with you. I thought it was like almost done, and then it wasn't, and then I never really get enough, being I accepted this job, I was coaching the playoffs.
Castell, I never really had enough quality time by the time I think he made his decision. I think he was kind of maybe already in a place that he was going, probably. He's played really good football for them this year. He's looked, you know, I know he had a great freshman year here.
Not that he didn't have good football after that, but he's looked like he's at his peak this season to me. I mean, he's obviously been creating turnovers and playing really high-level football, but I never had enough opportunity in front of either one of those guys to sit down in my office and like, help them with the decision. I think Jordan's decision was pretty much made it felt like when I got here.
And like I said, I think I thought Gates was staying. We were at a place where I thought he was staying, maybe, and then he had a change of heart, and would have loved to have kept both guys. Those were two guys I wanted to keep. I didn't — I really — it wasn't very many guys I tried to run off when, that wasn't the thing when I took the job here, there was just some guys that felt like the change of scenery was what was best for them, but both of those guys are playing good football.
How do you combat transfer tampering when losses start piling up?
I don't know that there's any tampering violations that are enforced ever. So I'm not going to call or whine or complain about that. Tampering season's all year. Just like recruiting is all year, people start tampering in August. When you name a starting quarterback, the backup's getting tampered with by somebody.
So, like the day that we announced that Philo was going to start, somebody tampered with Tramell that day, probably. I'm not mad about it; it's just the war we live in. So it's the nature of the beast. I think with our guys, I try to have honest, transparent conversations with them, being authentic and genuine about what their vision is for the development here.
But there's a resourcing side to it that the business component of — like, man, you can't keep everybody, because somebody may be willing to pay a guy double what you can pay him. And then you're just like, "Well, can't keep you.' There were several of those situations on guys that did leave here from last year that would have loved to have kept, but the resourcing wasn't going to allow us to go to a place to keep them compared to what somebody else was able to do for them.
So you hope guys understand there's real authenticity in a relationship, and then you have a developmental plan for them and a vision for where they're going, but there's always people in their ear. That's the nature of the world we live in."
How much energy and time are you putting into the roster going forward?
I've been putting a lot of time into it. I've really been putting my time into really two things: how to help us win every week? That's probably No. 1 one right now because we're in season. But then secondly is recruiting, our roster retention, and then projecting what types of things we need to add to field the best team we can for '27.
I think as a head coach, you're always in the moment, but you always have to think like a year out, too. Where, I think when you're a position coach, you're very worried about your little micro position room. And if you're a coordinator, you think about your side of the ball.
As the head coach, you're thinking about the entire team, but you're also thinking about a year, sometimes two years out, to be quite honest with you, to some degree, about how you're layering your roster — I've said this on numerous occasions. I'm grateful for Dave Caldwell and Nick Polk and Drew Hughes and Chris Prescott and that whole group, Cole Heard.
That whole group does a great job of maybe streamlining some processes for me, so I don't have to watch 100 players to figure out who the top 10 are. They bring the top 10, and then I kind of help them with, "This is where we need to go from here."
But I'm hands-on with the roster. Really, the bye week, I spent a lot of time on it. The bye week, spent a lot of time on what we need for '27 to be the best we can be moving forward.
What is your No. 1 area of concern?
I would say it's the same concerns I had going into this year to some degree. I don't think that has changed from what my concerns were. You know what they were — so it hasn't changed a whole lot. I think where I felt like our strengths were coming into the year, I think I was fairly accurate, probably, and where I thought our weaknesses, maybe or deficiencies or lack of depth, were at, I think remain the same to some degree.
I think we've improved in some spots, too. I think early in the year, I voiced that corner I felt, in particular, secondary as a whole need to be better. I think we have improved there as the year's gone. I'm not saying we've arrived, but I think Ben Hanks has gotten better. I think Cormani's plays improved. I think guys have stepped up to some degree, but I still think we're playing two guys a lot there. I'd like to have a deeper room there, and then I think continuing on with the offensive line, we have to push that envelope faster and further.
How are you handling the quarterbacks this week?
Both practiced today. There'll be one guy that starts and one guy doesn't. They're both still listed OR on the depth chart. You'll find out later in the week, probably, I don't know how it always gets out. Doesn't get out for me. I don't tell anybody. I tell them. But I'm sure they tell somebody that he gets out. But both guys are practicing.
Think both guys have done some really good things this year at times, and both guys have done some not-so-good things at times. Didn't think we played well enough at quarterback on Saturday. Loved Tramell. He got all the 1 reps last week. I'm very honest with those guys — 10-of-22 for 133 yards, I think. Two interceptions and just some missed opportunities I felt like that we weren't able to capitalize on.
He'll learn from it and grow. It was his second start and really his second full week of being the starter in that role and getting the whole week as the 1. But they'll go through the week and they'll both get some 1 reps. They'll both get some 2s reps. I shared this with y'all in the past; the way we practice a lot of days is the 1s get the same exact reps as the 2s — they repeat the same calls.
So they'll both be prepared for the game plan. But as the week goes, we'll shift to one guy getting the line share for the 1s.
On not wanting to alternate—is there any consideration to a hot-hand situation?
Yeah, if the guy's playing really good, we're not going to take him out. So the hot-hand situation is real. Last week, I went into the game plan really wanting to give Tramel the game, and barring catastrophic errors in the game I was going to let it be his game. By catastrophic, turnover-worthy plays that cost us. I've told them both, like, "Hey, you're not going to throw multiple interceptions that were your fault and keep getting trotted out there over and over and over again."
We're not throwing four picks, and it's just like, "Yeah, keep going." But at the same time, I think if you have such a quick leash with them or you pull them too fast, then they don't let it rip, and they play a little cautious, and you can't play the position that way.
So, my desire moving forward would be to start one of them, hoping they play great, and let them go. But if a guy goes in and is turning the football over or costing the team, then we're going to let the other guy get an opportunity, depending on what that looks like.
On the challenge of Kentucky defensively
They're just sound. I think they play with a really high football IQ. They don't beat themselves. They do a great job communicating. I think what they see from their offense, too, prepares them for a lot because they do a lot offensively from a picture standpoint. They're a little bit more veteran than you probably recognize or give them credit for.
Like, I feel like Ty Bryant, the safety, I feel like he's been there for like eight years now. He's a good player, but they've got what looks like a really good idea of what they're trying to do each snap — and they make you earn it.
How would you assess just the staff's overall approach this season?
I believe in our processes. All the successes, everybody's going to high-five everybody. All failure, everybody's going to feel like the sky is falling. I try to see it for what it is all the time. We have to do a better job as a coaching staff, always putting our players in a better position.
Even when things go good, I'm like, what can we have done better for the players to help them? So there's a lot where we have to improve as a staff. I'm not taking anything away. Every area of our program has to grow.
So coaches, players, all of us are in this together, and there's a lot that we can do better moving forward. And I think you're constantly learning: where are we falling short? How do we avoid that moving forward? And there's times where I'm really frustrated with what we're doing.
I'm not discouraged because I still believe in the direction we're headed, but I get frustrated because I want us to be successful every time we play and every play.
How willing is Sumrall to jump in when he sees fit?
I'm hands-on to every part of our program, whether it be roster-building, what we're doing on offense, defense, kicking game. Like, I'm not just a defensive head coach who goes and watches only the other team's offense and just sits in the defensive staff meetings. I usually try to help every area of a program. I'm in every special teams meeting that we ever have, all of them.
I can't be — offense and defense meet at the same time, kind of, so I can't be in two places at once. Every Monday with the team for the last month or so, ever since the South Carolina game, I've gone in with the defense to start every Monday and start their meeting with maybe some good and some bad. I want them to hear my voice and understand that I believe in them, but I'm also going to challenge them.
And then I bounce into the offensive meeting. I was in their meeting last Monday. I wasn't in there today as much early in the meeting. I popped in at the end, in the back. I go to both staff meetings; I run our staff meetings. Everybody hears my voice, they probably get tired of hearing my voice.
My job as the head coach is to try to support everybody in our program. Like, my job as a coach to serve everybody in a program. Not to be served; it's to serve. Well, how do I serve? Well, I think our offensive coaches right now, they're frustrated as hell because it's not gone good the last few weeks. So it's my job to go in there and go, "Hey, what's working? What's not working? Who could we lean on and maybe they could help us more personnel-wise? Is there certain things we need to stay away from?" And encourage the coaches and the players.
Like, I've told them, like, "Hey, guys, the same people that are in here that scored 50-some points against Ole Miss, they're still here." Like I said, there's still a lot of good in here. We just have to get back to being that group, and how do we find ourselves? And then within that, I think the constant evolvement of, you deal with attrition in the year.
Like offensively, I think a struggle has been we haven't adapted well from the loss of VB (Vernell Brown III). I mean, and to be abundantly clear: VB wants to play. He really wants to play. Like, I saw him today, he's like, "Coach, I'm getting better. I'm fighting." But he wants to play. He's struggled with that.
But I think when you put a lot in for maybe certain guys and things maybe, to some degree, are built for them package-wise, we may be haven't done a good enough job of finding who's next. And Bailey's (Stockton) done a good job at times to step it up. But I'm in every part of our program. And so the things that are going bad and the things are going good, I'm involved in all.
On how Rusty Whitt has assessed the team's physicality and toughness
It's a good question. You know, Rusty and I talk every day. Multiple times a day. The thing I'll say about our guys I'm grateful for: they haven't quit playing hard. Like, so I haven't — like, what really worries you or scares you is when you turn the tape on or you watch it live, like, alright, the guys aren't giving great effort.
Our guys played hard on Saturday. We didn't play particularly well, obviously, in certain spots. I do think our mental toughness has grown. I don't know if we're as calloused as we need to be to be a championship-level program. Like, and what I mean by calloused is like, there's nothing that makes you flinch. Like nothing. You just constantly, you're next play, next play.
And so, I think our guys, at times — early in the year in particular — they felt all the pats on the back, and I think at times maybe when there's negativity around or being said about them, I think they feel that probably too much. And I've tried to help them understand, like, when you're the man in the arena, you can't worry about what the critics say. I'm not saying y'all are the critics. You all have a job to do and you do it great. Most of you do it great.
But what I would say is helping our players understand, man, when you're in the fire, you're gonna get burned some. And like, you have to be comfortable with that. You have to not be discouraged with things that don't go your way. Stay the course. And there's still a lot of growth that's needed there, though.
On balance between being hands-on and empowering staff to do their jobs
I think it's important that you don't micromanage, but I also think it's important that you're assertive. And there is a balance there. I don't have any problem voicing what I see, to anybody. One of my great strengths, probably also a weakness at times: I'm brutally honest, and I don't shy away from difficult conversation that can maybe make some people uncomfortable. I don't really get uncomfortable in hard conversations, I actually thrive in those environments.
But at the same time, it's my job to help build confidence in what we're doing, even while I may be having to try to help us fix something or critique something or correct something. So you're always trying to build up, not tear down. You know, like, I don't live in the mindset of, like, "Let's tear this down." Well, let's build it up.
Sometimes you build it up by making corrections and fixing things or addressing something that's not going right. So, I meet with all our coordinators and I meet both sides of the ball and the entire staff daily and discuss all of it: what's going good and what's going bad.
But at the same time, I'm not a primary play-caller in any phase. I know every call that goes into the game on all three phases. Offense, defense, kicking. There's not a call that goes in the game where I'm like, "Oh, what's that mean?" Like, I know what we're doing in all phases. But I also chime in and give thoughts and make sure that they understand where I think I can help them.
Is the most adversity Sumrall has faced as a head coach?
Hell yeah it is. I'm not gonna lie. It's been hard. Like Saturday night, I'm sure there's a lot of pissed-off people. I don't know if anybody in America was more pissed off Saturday night than me. Like, I was — it hurts, man. You put a lot into it. Like, it's hard.
You know, my first year as head coach, we started 1-2, and the third game we lost on a Hail Mary to an App State team that was pretty good. They had just beaten Texas A&M, and I thought, "Maybe I'm not supposed to be a head football coach. Like, this isn't going good so far." And so, I believe what we're doing. I'm confident that we're gonna get this turned.
You know, the old adage: "Tough times don't last, tough people do." I'm tough. Like, it ain't gonna break me. Like, I'm tough. And I wear it, though. Like, it is something I'm very passionate about and I want to be successful. I wanna win everything we do.
And so the setbacks — it is a challenge. It is real. I mean, I own it. But I'd be lying if I said, "Oh, it's been no big deal.'"No, it has been really hard. But I'm motivated every day to get back to work and attack the things that are in front of us and worry about what I have control over.
You know, we've talked in the past. Justin Gaethje was with us last week. Justin and I were talking Friday night in the hotel where our team stays; we were hanging out. I was like, "What's the most important thing in your world that you do?" I'm asking him, and he goes, "Worry about what I can control. Like, what am I in control over?"
Well, that's a great reminder, I think, for anybody; it's like, spend your time, invest your time and your energy in things you can control. And I can't control last week's outcome. If I could go back and change it, I would. But yeah, there's been a lot of frustration in the year, but to me, I'm even frustrated sometimes when we win because I just want us to play better all the time."
On back-to-back losses—what can you take from that experience earlier in the year?
I think the biggest reminder for everybody in our program, if you look at this conference week in and week out, you have to be prepared. Expect the unexpected. It's a challenge every Saturday. I think as I reflect on the year, the thing I knew coming into this, but I don't know that I fully did a good enough job of helping everybody around us understand, is every SEC team is really good. Everybody you play. The best, the worst, the margins for error are really small.
But I've got a lot of confidence that our guys will be ready to go play. It can be challenging to get yourself up off the mat sometimes for certain guys, but it's my job to get them there and help them understand that every Saturday you get a new opportunity. Go take advantage of it.
The opportunities that you get, man, make the most of them. We get to go on the road and go play a game that we love. Nobody ever said "work football" growing up as a kid; you said "play football." We get to go play football Saturday, man.
So go cut it loose, have fun, compete your ass off, let it all hang out, don't look at the scoreboard, play four quarters, then at the end of the game look up and go, "What's the score?"
On any conversations with Urban Meyer since Saturday
We've texted some. My wife and his wife went to lunch yesterday. I've been kind of busy, so there were no lunch appointments for me. I was in here at lunch, not wherever they went. I think they went to Hawkstone Country Club. I don't really have any time to go there, but they went to lunch. Urban and I text.
He's encouraging, he's a great supporter, and I'm grateful for his friendship. Once again, last week, tremendous honor for him. I didn't say this at the beginning, but it was our Salute to Service game last week — Veterans Day being this Wednesday. Thanks to all the people who have served our country, including Coach Whitt. It means a lot to everybody in our program.
On how do you prepare for the cold
That's a good question. I addressed it briefly in our team meeting. I asked how many of them would love to play in the NFL one day at any point in their career. Everybody thinks they're an NFL player. I said, "You know what you get to do if you play in the NFL? You get to go play in Lambeau at some point."
That might be in the negatives certain games. I don't make it a bigger deal than it is. We played a game a couple years ago at Army that was brutally cold. I allow our non-ball carriers to wear tights up top and down below. Our ball carriers won't wear tights up top. That's the only change.
I let the guys on the sideline, if it's super cold — not saying super cold, but if they're cold enough — more so than anything, put the big jacket on for no other reason than so that they can keep their muscles warm. I worry about them getting cold, and tight, and stiff. Not about, "Oh, I feel cold." Well, yeah, it's gonna be cooler than what it is here.
Also, we will not come out and do shirts off and try to act like we're crazy tough. I'm into being smart tough, not dumb tough either. But you talk about it and don't make a bigger deal of it than it is.
Who does Sumrall lean on when he's pissed off?
Honestly, my wife does a great job, and I'm not just saying that. I'm really, really intense and can get pissed off real easily, and she's somebody that just helps me vent. I've got a handful of people in my life that speak positivity into me when there's a lot of negativity in my mind because I don't have to look outside our building, and there's plenty of negativity in me when things aren't going good.
So I need people that go, "Hey, you know how to do this, you're built for this, you know what's going wrong, address the issues, move forward." I don't shy away from the fact that I knew this was not going to be easy. Nothing in life worth doing ever is. I'm motivated by where we're at and where we're going. I don't like our record right now, but I believe in what we're doing, and I got a lot of people that help me stay on course and stay directed where I need to go.
On the 24-team playoff
That's a good question. I didn't know it was officially done just now. I knew it was coming. I knew it was coming; I didn't know what day or time. I think being a new SEC head coach and being in a couple of those text message chains that are on the side — not all the coaches are in them — there's about five of us in a couple of them.
With a nine-game SEC schedule, I'm for it. If we were still at eight SEC games, I think I might be against it because are we making the field too big? But you're gonna look at — and this is something I've talked with several people about, Urban Meyer being one of them — I get asked about Urban a lot. Like, 9-3 in the SEC is almost, in a weird way, what 11-1 used to be. This is NFL-ish now; the world we have created.
I mean, you look across our league: Georgia loses to Auburn, we go on the road and beat Texas, and we're not fully ready for prime time to be like a top-four team in the country right now. I think that's pretty apparent today. But this league, week in, week out, the attrition on the health of your roster, the bumps and bruises you get, the competitiveness of every Saturday, I think what 9-3 has become in this conference because of the way we've made this schedule, and we all have a P4 game on top of it, I'm for the 24-team deal because of that.
If we were still in the old world where you play eight conference games and one Power Four and three non-cons, I probably don't know that I'd be as fired up about a 24-team playoff, but I think with the way we've created our conference schedules, I think it's good for our conference.
With the conference championship game gone, do you look at the regular season any differently?
That's a good question. I haven't put a ton of thought into that yet. I haven't cast out that far. I did have a conversation a while back with Dave Caldwell, like, would you ever see a team that's 10-1 in college football going into Game 12 rest players? I don't know if that will happen or not in a year or two from now.
But Dave has that NFL background. We sat down, I don't know, a couple of weeks ago, and he's like, 'Do you think this will ever happen in college?' And I'm like, "Well, when you're playing a rivalry game at the end, no, I don't think so."
But if somebody ever made it to where their schedule, like, say Game 12, they made their FCS game, some people might start doing some of that kind of stuff as it goes to 24. I'm not saying we're there yet, but we got Florida State always at the end right now.
I do think it will be interesting to see — do people change their scheduling model? And now that we're moving the season up to Week 0, you're gonna end up having two byes every year, and I talked a lot about that with Dave, and Scott Stricklin and Duke about moving the season up to Week 0: two bye weeks every year now, no conference championship.
I think your scheduling format does maybe change a little bit in how you'd like to play some non-conference games throughout the year and maybe not just two front-loaded and one on the backend.
Is the family going to connect with some folks at Kentucky?
So my wife and kids will go. I think they got dinner with some friends. I will see nobody. I'll see them, but I'm not gonna, like, hang out with anybody. We'll be in meetings Friday night. I've probably had about 30 people text me and ask which hotel we're staying at, and they're getting no response. I have zero interest.
People want to hang out; that's not hangout time for me. It's time to try to go win a game and coach a game. I do have so many great friendships that mean a great deal to me and my family there, though.
