Kevin Sumlin's hiring at Arizona is imminent, multiple sources have told Sporting News.

Sumlin, who was fired on Nov. 26 after Texas A&M went 7-5 in regular season play this season, takes over for a program that went 7-6 in 2017 and 43-35 during the Rich Rodriguez era.

Sumlin went 51-26 over six years at Texas A&M. His team's highest finish came in 2012 — his and A&M's first season in the SEC — when the Aggies finished No. 5 overall. He never had a losing season at A&M, though his support ran thin after the Aggies had three consecutive eight-win seasons from 2014-16. According to the terms of his contract, he is owed over $10 million by A&M.

Sumlin also went 35-17 in his previous stop at Houston over the course of four years.

He will now take over for Rodriguez, who was fired this offseason after facing allegations of workplace misconduct.
