New Offensive Coordinator! Rhett Lashlee of Auburn

businesslawyer said:
So is White o.k. Coming to Auburn and competing for a job? Or were there rumors about him moving after graduation anyway (and if so to whom)?

Thank you for your time on this. Our prior idiot coach ran off the starting QB, with a year of eligibility left, for no apparent reason with no apparent replacement in site, so obtaining a QB immediately would be an amazing gift for us.

White is next season. The possibility this season is JF3. Former FSU QB, and "star" of Netflix Last Chance U. He is not open to a position change, and will never be more than QB2 or QB3, heck maybe even QB4 next season. So everyone fully expects JF3 to be a grad transfer. And Lashlee is the one who WANTED JF3 (John Franklin III.) Lashlee chose JF3 over Jerod Evans who played for VA Tech last season, going pro in this draft. JF3 has true track speed.

White is will be a Jr next season, but I expect he will ride the pine behind Jarrett Stidham. So it's not certain he transfer. It's actually not sure anyone will transfer, however I would be shocked to see JF3 in orange and blue next season.

And you are most welcome

Never heard of Last Chance U before today but trust me -- at the moment, I'm not sure the #4 QB at Auburn doesn't get handed the starting job at UConn on day one. We will see. It would certainly excite folks here if a famous and dynamically fast QB comes in to run the offense, even if he can't throw the ball well enough.

Last chance U is a great show. I highly recommend it.
 
I dont have the answer if we want JFIII. Here are his community college highlights. Each play is shown in twice from two angles. I hate how he carelessly holds the ball while running away from his body. Otherwise, it seems like is field vision is decent and in some plays he is very nifty at avoiding blitzes and running for big gains. He's got wheels, more than any QB we have ever had.

If you want to see him in action for Auburn:

Game 1 - Clemson - Auburn plays 3 QBs this game. No joke. 3. Against the team that had lost the championship last year, and won it this year... We almost won. JF3 didn't do too much

Game 9 - Vandy- JF3 makes a surprise start for injured Sean White. Plays 1st half before replaced by White

Game 12 - Alabama - JF3 provides us with our longest pass play of the season.

Game 13 - Oklahoma (Sugar Bowl) JF3 played some in the 2nd half

He didn't get many opportunities here this past season. Hence the reason most of us expect he will transfer as a grad transfer.

Next season is 2017. You think Edsall is going to be ready to hang it up the following year? Seems unlikely. That said, good job by your AD of leveraging his contacts to bring a name coordinator to Uconn. He likely had the scoop on a mutual parting of ways coming between Lashlee and Malzan, and was able to position Uconn to be right there if/when it happened. Lashlee now gets to be his own man outside of his mentor's shadow, and Gus can chase the big name coordinator the AU Fanbase will demand if he desires to extend his tenure on the plains. Good Job A.D.D.

O.K. But do we want that QB?

To be fair... If you watch Last ChanceU on Netflix, you will see these facts.

1. JF3 expected to walk in the door as a starter in JUCO.
2. JF3 did not start at JUCO save for 1 game (which happened to be the game Lashlee was in and scored like 5 or 6 TDs in the 1st half before the game was canceled.)
3. The QB who started above JF3 did not get a single D1 offer, and is now a regular student at Mississippi State
4. The QB who started over JF3 just happens to be a redneck white boy (just funny since JF3 has track speed.)

So do you really want him? I dunno. I do know JF3 is an outstanding student and teammate. I live in Eugene Oregon now (hence my user name) and I flew my son to fan day at Auburn this past year. JF3 went out of his way to be exceptional to my son. He will always hold a special place in my heart. Regardless of what happens to him.

Apparently the leading guys are the former OC for Cal (who interviewed for their HC job,) the OC for Arizona State, and the OC from NC State. Pretty sure all have ties to CGM.

The fan base is all for Mark Helfrich. And being as I've lived in Eugene Oregon for a decade, I've seen him... Up close and in person many times, and I want him no where near my program, lol

No -- he originally predicted Lashlee would come here and take over when Diaco was fired after the upcoming season.

Playing the "who's following who on Twitter" game doesn't always lead to accurate findings, but...Lashlee has Jay Rose following him now. :eek:

I know it's not a car wash but it's on par. Had a conversation with my sister in law (who lives in Southington) a couple of days after RE was hired and she heard some rumors that Rose had an issue with Diaco over a position change and that he might be interested in resuming talks with UConn. Her brother received a state award (he's handles the stats for Southington High) and she was at a table with several people who might have some knowledge about this.

I would love to know which position. He was recruited as a TE.

What, Diaco wanted him to play safety?

She told me but I can't remember. I'll get in touch with her and let you know.

What has Rose been doing the past year?

It was the hybrid "F back" position that Davis and Myers are designated as.

Say Rose wants to come back. Is he eligible next year? How do FCS to FBS transfers work?
 
If Uconn can bring in The Auburn QB discussed in this thread that would be a HUGE pickup. It would greatly help the transition having a QB who already knows the offense leading the team, and acting in the role of a secondary coach teaching teammates at practice. I'm also curious to see how fast Lashlee starts recruiting some new QB's in this years class. This offense is heavy on the run game. A dynamic runner is almost a necessity to make it go.
