[Dove]

How many Auburn verbals do we have room for?

 

[huskysupporter]

Fantastic news. Can't believe it.

 

[huskymedic]

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

Whiny

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

 

[huskymedic]

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

 

[TRest]

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

blame your dad

Maybe not three years but 5-7. There's also a 0% chance he accepted the offer unless he has complete control over the offense and play calling.

 

[BNich]

blame your dad

I blame myself. I went to a great school, but I have pursued a career I am passionate about. Gold industry. It doesn't pay off until I am the head man.

 

[Coach J]

This is YUUUGGGGEEEEE!!!!!!!!

 

[Jimmy Serrano]

Wow. Benedict is the real deal. This is a power move. Not sure what the underlying deal is that's in place, but kudos to the administration. This is a grand slam.

 

[BNich]

At the very least, Lashlee brings in a SEC mindset, and an offense that was competitive in the SEC. I think we can all expect something different,

 

[superjohn]

I take back being upset with the Edsall hire. To me it looked like a weak hire of just trying to recapture what we had in the past. I saw it as a boring and unimaginative hire and was hoping for better from Benedict. Well we just got it, Benedict clearly had a plan. Edsall is an adult who knows how to run a program and Lashlee will be in charge of the offense. We just got a young guy who is held in high esteem to leave Auburn to take the same job at UConn and he's our coach in waiting. This is absolutely fantastic news. We are trending right now.

 

[BlueDogs]

Well, that's a hell of a big boy football coach. Something is afoot. Damn this is exciting, especially if we can recruit and steal some Deep South talent.
