"Sumlin is the first African-American to be hired to lead a
Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision program in the state of Texas. Former North
Texas head coach Matt Simon was first hired in 1993 when the UNT program was a
Division I-Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) school,
later moving up a division and coaching the North Texas program from 1994-97 as
a member of the Division I-FBS. "
In the mid-1990s, Sumlin was an assistant on the staff of former TCU coach Jim Wacker at Minnesota.
