Arizona reached an agreement to hire Kevin Sumlin as coach, according to multiple reports Sunday.
The school has yet to make an official announcement.
Sumlin, 53, was 51-26 in six seasons at Texas A&M. He was 36-17 in four seasons at Houston, including a 13-1 record in 2011, before taking the job at Texas A&M.
Texas A&M fired Sumlin after the 2017 season, when the Aggies finished the regular season 7-5. He was replaced by former Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher.
Sumlin reportedly will replace Rich Rodriguez at Arizona. Rodriguez was fired Jan. 2 after a sexual harassment allegation the university began investigating in October and a recent notice of a hostile-workplace lawsuit to be filed against him.
Rodriguez went 43-35 in six seasons at Arizona.
Sumlin may keep defensive coordinator Marcel Yates, who became the interim coach after Rodriguez's firing. Yates completed his second year with the Wildcats this season.
Yates coached under Sumlin as co-defensive coordinator at Texas A&M in 2012 and 2013.
