New Offensive Coordinator! Rhett Lashlee of Auburn

[sub legacy]

Benedict is awesome, I hope he is tweeting from Electric Blue.

He's probably so excited he can't focus on the pole twirling. Neither would I.

 

[sdhusky]

Clearly, Athletic Director Dave is excited. Guy can't even sleep!

I'm a little disappointed.

I would rather have gotten someone not as good in the morning.

When do we see an announcement about a football, basketball (extension of current) and baseball series with Auburn? That would be the icing on the cake!

They do have open dates in 2019 and 2020

 

[Adios]

They do have open dates in 2019 and 2020

Holy moly. You didn't blast this hire!

 

[uconndogs]

Can't figure this one out. But, just maybe:

Edsall to Lashlee - "Help me turn this thing around. I've got 3-5 years at this and then the reigns are yours."

Either that, or for some reason he was on the hot seat at Auburnn.

Either way, I think it's a great hire and I think Auburn over the years has run some of the best balanced offenses in the country.

And just like that we stop becoming a national punchline.

Jesus, 8/31 can't come quick enough. I can't wait until summer is over!

 

[jackl]

Does our scoreboard even go that high?

It used to!!!!!!! GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bull s---.

You can sacrifice chickens in the huddle if it gets this offense moving towards an end zone.

Be careful. Phrasing. Our offense had a propensity for moving toward our own end zone.

 

[EdgewoodNHV]

I don't remember ever seeing the Boneyard universally praise anything the Athletic Department has ever done.

 

[HuskiesFan1014]

HOLY CR@P!!!!!

Athletic Director Dave strikes gold!
I am absolutely floored...and elated. Worth being up (late) for work this morning!

2 scenarios which may not be mutually exclusive

 

[JSM1970]

This is a great hire, especially for only $300k/year. Somewhat surprised he did a lateral from SEC West to UConn, but I'll take it, make he sees it at a faster path to a HC

 

[coachcap]

Wow:
Highly successful OC takes a 45% pay cut & moves to a State with Income tax & high cost of living.
Boggles the mind!
What next?
UConn sells tickets to the Spring Game?
I actually DO have a shot with Kate Winnick?

Guess that I'll just enjoy this moment & wait to see what other tricks A.D.Dave & HCRE have up their sleeves.
Can't wait for the Spring Game! Great day to be a Husky football fan!

DOOMED

[coachcap]

To borrow from the Hoops board, is it too early to break out the Sacred Rolling Rocks & toast A.D. Dave?

 

[polycom]

I highly doubt he took as big a paycut as many are making it out to be. From incentives I'm sure it's close to similar, the issue is he is moving from a low COL state to a high COL state that...

 

[coachcap]

If he DID use a gas grill, he will fit right in with the denizens of Blue Lot & environs!

@uconnfbfacts Rhett will make @kidballer15 All-AAC. Donovan is better than anyone Rhett had to work with last year. Nick Marshall 2.0

Interesting statement

 

[Jarhead_1775]

TAKE MY MONEY, ATHLETIC DIRECTOR, DAVE!!!! Tell Aspire to call me ASAP!

 

[Sky ball]

So what you all are trying to say is that TJ will not be our OC? Will Rhett wear sleeves in the winter?

No...He has no coat coming from Ala. With a pay cut he can't afford one. One of his incentives is after 1st 5 400 yard passing games Suzie gives him a winter coat.

 

[Sky ball]

This is why he left Auburn:

 

[uchusky32]

This is awesome. Headed in the right direction!

He can have mine.
