Kevin Warren Sumlin (born August 3, 1964) is an American football coach and former player who is the head coach at Texas A&M University. Previously, Sumlin was the head football coach at the University of Houston from 2007 to 2011.
Kevin Sumlin was born in Brewton, Alabama on August 3, 1964. He later attended Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School in Indianapolis, where he played football, basketball, and hockey.
Following his prep career, Sumlin attended Purdue University and was a starting linebacker for his entire college career. He was a member of the 1984 Peach Bowl team and finished in the Top Ten in total tackles (375) (191 solo, 184 assisted) and in the Top Twenty (191) in solo tackles. He led the team in tackles his freshman season (1983) with 91 total tackles, (50 solo and 41 assisted). He was a teammate of players such as Jim Everett, Hall of Famer Rod Woodson, fellow linebacker Fred Strickland and long-time NFL players Mel Gray and Cris Dishman.
Sumlin served as an assistant with Washington State, Wyoming, Minnesota and Purdue (with the common denominator of all these coaching stops, except for Minnesota, being Joe Tiller); served as assistant head coach at Texas A&M for two years under R.C. Slocum; and for five years at Oklahoma under Bob Stoops, serving the last 2 years as co-offensive coordinator. In addition to Stoops and Slocum, he has served as an assistant under Dennis Erickson and Mike Price at Washington State and Joe Tiller at Purdue. While at Purdue he and offensive coordinator Jim Chaney aided Tiller in implementing the then-uncommonly used spread offense, and the Boilermakers, with Drew Brees as starting quarterback, broke a string of Big Ten passing records and made a surprise run to the 2001 Rose Bowl, Purdue's first Rose Bowl in three decades. He left for Texas A&M and served as offensive coordinator and assistant head coach for two seasons before joining the University of Oklahoma.
