Lashlee Clowning Edsall/Crocker

Never believe the family narrative stuff is the driver. That’s BS. Sure his wife had to make an adjustment but he went from Alabama to Storrs to Dallas. A coach’s wife adjust to moving. It’s what happened in the clubhouse when he was here. Grimes left too.

Exactly right his wife was a small part of it..
 
I would rather live in a steady pool of toxic waste lit on fire than live in Texas (or anywhere south of Delaware). I like seasons and I like the cold. I am also well aware that there are people who feel exactly the same way about living in the north. It's all good.

Rhett had a nice year here ushering UConn out of DIaco doldrums and maybe if UConn offered to raise him, it may have had an impact in him staying. Or not. I actually have had little issue with Dunn, other than the UMass turtle game. If Rhett was a successful defensive coordinator and we let him leave with no/little fight, then I'd be much angrier than I am. But we've replaced Rhett as well as we can at the pay grade we offer. Now we need to replace a coach or two or three on the defensive side. Absolutely horrendous defense that can't stop anyone regardless of what our offense does or doesn't do.

Grimes left because he was going back to auburn and making $100,000+ more than he did up here lol.

62 points and they took their foot off the gas a while ago.

I'm not buying this. It was an 8 point game with 12 minutes to go. How can you say they took their foot off the gas? If they did take their foot of the gas, the coaches should be fired. Yes, our defense sucks, but our offense kept us breathing until late in this one. Not a good shot at winning, but I don't buy for one second that SMU's offense went easy on us until the final minutes.

I agree, Lashlee would have a better offense, recruit better and bring in better assistants. Grimes was our top position coach last season by a long shot.

One year of Grimes fixed 5 years of OL problems and that work carried through. If you think coaching doesn’t matter, think twice.

You got your wish. Before the TD in the last minute UConn scored 7 times. SMU followed up those 7 scores with 6 TD's and 1 punt. If you take out that one 11-play TD drive; the other 5 drives averaged 3 plays in 53 seconds. So basically SMU scored at will and made it a point to do quickly after a UConn score.

And because he gets to coach at Auburn haha. They're playing in front of 90k tonight, I'm sure that's much more enjoyable than playing at the Rent

That is what probably pisses me off the most from today's game.

Offense consistently responded to SMU scores and defense continued to get slaughtered. Atone point announcers said SMU had 4 TD drives of four plays or less.

I was watching it on ESPN3 through Roku streaming.
At one point UConn scored a TDin the second half and when I refreshed my phone to get updated stats on my cell phone, SMU had already scored on their next possession.

1. Grimes left for a ton more money-only an idiot would have stayed with that choice
2.Family "stuff" does come into play - unless you lived under their roof (that's scary for them) you know nothing about it
3. AD David Benedict should have done a better job in reading the tea leaves when it came to Lashlee but then again DB is not the sharpest tool in the shed

Gotta pay to play. Youve got keep those that perform: Grimes, Lashlee...dumb those that don’t. Continuous improvement applies to staff as well as players.

He should have hired Lashlee as head coach, let him hire his staff and gone from there. Our recruiting would be much better and football more watchable.
 
SMU “only” got 594 yards today — just the third team we’ve held under 600 yards all season.

Rhett’s a good coordinator, but he’s not God’s gift.

62 points and 594 yards is not enough.
 
Look. We suck, Chief. Purple Stein’s not debating the point. Purple Stein’s only point is that Rhett’s offense was not notably better than any other we’ve played and was, by one metric, vaguely substandard.

Purple Stein thinks anyone can dial up 600 yards against us. Rhett, maybe because he has a soft spot for RE 2.0, only dialed up 594 :)
 
LOL - Rhett is still being punished for our defensive incompetence. A new standard of Randy 2.0 excellence.

The 594 was due in part to the onside kick. Had UConn kicked a normal kickoff, the subsequent TD run would have added another 50 yards to their total. :):):)

The other thing that Chief did not have the patience to explain is that because our offense improved some - they were not 3 and out - that created less possessions for the opponents offense to pile up yardage. Either way they scored 62 points. That’s bad enough where Chief comes from.

Purple Stein would point out that, going into Saturday, SMU had the 101st ranked offense in FBS. After fattening up on us, they’ll probably be in the mid 70’s.

As Purple Stein said before, but may need to reiterate for the casual fan, Lashlee is a good coach

Lashlee replaced a guy who was effectively fired for bad performance. If he finishes in the middle of the pack with improvement shown throughout the year , he’s accomplished something

I hate you naysayers. They’ve forced a couple of punts this year, what more do you expect a matador to do on a football field?
 
Rhett averaged 28.3 ppg first 6 games of 2017. Now we have an offensive line coach calling plays for the first time. Life comes at you fast.

100% on the money. There is a ton of self soothing spin by folks. We blew it. We had two very talented coaches that left because we couldn't hang onto them and it isn't because the wife didn't like Connecticut.
