New Offensive Coordinator! Rhett Lashlee of Auburn

[BNich]

Not bad for a 24 year old kid ... but still we needed to fit this all under a budget - cause it still is Connecticut.

Maybe Tracy Claeys is next from AD Goetz

He only makes more than 3 times what I do and he's 3 years younger. I'm doing it all wrong.

Serious question: I know Auburn had a (relative) down year this year but Lashlee was a Broyles finalist a couple years ago and is a pretty big name for an assistant. How the ____ did this happen?

Between our 3-4 ADs on staff and this, makes you wonder if something bigger is afoot. I'm so tired of realignment torture, but why do we have like 4 current/former ADs on staff and why did Rhett want in?

 

[sportsart]

So he was reportedly making $600k at Auburn and he drops to $350k at an AAC school?

Mark it down. He is the HC in waiting and will be rewarded handsomely if he turns things around.

Wow Wow Wow

Weird Wild Stuff! How the heck did that happen?
There must be a deadly desease that attacks SEC offensive coordinators in Alabama!

So who's the DC? Someone from a B1G school? Yeesh. Well worth the wait.

 

[JMick]

This is unbelievable for us. He must like Athletic Director Dave lol

How many Auburn verbals do we have room for?

 

[huskysupporter]

Im confused. Im excited. Back to confused. Was this a coup? Howd the diaco did this happen? Back to excited.

 

[Matrim55]

This is the biggest power move in our football program's history. I don't know what to do with my hands!

 

[JMick]

He is supposed to be an unreal recruiter.

Dave Benedict turned Bob Diaco and Frank Verducci into Randy Edsall and Rhett Lashee. That sort of magic would stump Penn and Teller.

This is for @ktuck911 Think we got a shot?

Can't wait for @UConnFootball to welcome @rhettlashlee to #UConnNation now let's fill up the rent! Congrats to @RandyEdsall great hire!

 

[junglehusky]

HIS.
OWN.
OFFENSE.

 

[cttxus]

The only thing I can think of is that AD Dave and Randy agreed to hand the head coaching keys to Rhett if he turned the program around and met certain performance metrics by the end of his 3 year OC contract. What else could it be? Serious question.

 

[uconnbill]

That's a hell of a hire for UConn to steal him from Auburn and his offenses scored over 33 points a game

SB Nation: Auburn OC Rhett Lashlee just left for, uh, UConn?
