"What's the elephant?" Sumrall joked.

"I'll say this. And Jeff, I love you. I love all y'all for being here. Ya'll cover our program. I'm grateful for it. You got a job to do, you got to ask that question. I got a job to do. It's to coach this football team."

"I've dealt with it every year as a head coach. I understand it comes with the territory. I get those questions because we're having success. That's about our players."

"The coaching carousel to me is not even a thought because we're in the midseason phase. So whenever somebody else wants to do, another program wants to do, what people want to speculate, they're free to do that. UTSA has my 100-percent focus, our team playing the best it can has my 100-percent focus."

"We haven't played our best yet. I'm a little bit, like, urgent and nauseous and fear complacency because we haven't played very well yet. And so whatever's going on out there in that world, that's great for people to speculate."

"Just like you got a job to do, you ask that question. I have a job to do —it's coaching this football team."
