Rhett Lashlee

[dowils]

There has to be a better football coach available.  We are 7-6 again after 4 years.  I think we should have shown more improvement after 4 years.  I would vote for Chip Kelly...proven college winner and looking for a job...

[PorkRinds]

Lunney will need HC experience first.

Or OC at the very least.

[dowils]

Oh, I also think we've done 4 years of bleeding its time to put the bandages on and find a winner....We did the same thing with a string of basketball coaches after Nolan....

[jackflash]

I think someone will give him a shot

[bob slydell]

Or OC at the very least.

Dabo was never a coordinator. I know he's one in a million though.

[The OTR]

Anyone see him being a legit head coach in the near future?

is this a real question?

[ricepig]

is this a real question?

Sure, you don't think he could chew his gum 1000 chomps a minute and point his finger in the ground between chomps?

I spoke to two farmers today. They saw an eagle flying with a serpent clutched in its talons. This is a sign from Apollo.

[Biggus Piggus]

We bring in retread assistants that can't coach squat and have a head coach more worried about his next TV appearance and next drink than turning our program around.

I know Lanny's all lenient these days, but you are seriously full of horseshit.

Must be if he's allowing moderators to use language that once would get us bant!! 

[grayhawg]

Wasn't he Co OC at San Jose state?

[Karma]

Neither was Urban Meyer.

Other coaches hired in 2013

Sonny Dykes - (5-7)
Kliff Kingsbury - (5-7)
Dave Doeren - (7-6)
Mark Stoops - (7-6)
Gus Malzahn - (8-5)
Butch Jones - (9-4)

BB seems pretty middle of the Road to me, and that is with him playing in the hardest division in all of College Football.

Kingsbury was a hot up and comer, how'd that work out for out?

BB may not be blowing anyone's socks off, but he also isn't having any motorcyclegates either.  its going to be a long process with occassional setbacks to build a competitive SEC team.  that is just the way it is short of catching lighting in a bottle with a saban/petrino type hire, which tend to be few and far between.

[Porked Tongue]

Don't have the time or patience to deep dive...I did a shallow wade and found nothing damning.  In fact, what I found was very positive.  Like someone that no school should ever say "not now, not ever."

You may as well spill the beans as your allusions are damning.  State the facts; if they are true then what harm could come from it?  In fact, they could very illuminating for a lot of folks and institutions that might consider hiring him.  If they are just rumors then they have no place being stated--or alluded to--anyway.

Not rumors.

You'll just need to live without knowing the specifics.

[Hogs958]

Not rumors.

You'll just need to live without knowing the specifics.

I'd say don't put it out there if you're not willing to give specifics, but that'd be naïve of me.

[hawganatic]

Rhett Lashley has a half season experience calling plays at a major school and only 6 years experience as a full time coach, and some of you are wanting him as our next head coach??

Seriously??

[Porked Tongue]

I'd say don't put it out there if you're not willing to give specifics, but that'd be naïve of me.

Always love this type of reply.

I'll share what I choose and what I can.  Not sure why people think they are owed anything more than what I choose to share.  I believe sharing it generically is more beneficial than not.

There is no "right to know".

[12247]

The good thing, Porked, is that so very, very, very few even know this and those that do, much like you shall never tell and therefore,  it will never hurt Lashlee so it really doesn't matter.

[gawntrail]

I like Okie's offense. 

[Porked Tongue]

Exactly as far as general public goes.

But within hiring circles, it's known.

[hobhog]

I don't understand this. He probably does a better job now than what we currently have. We bring in retread assistants that can't coach squat and have a head coach more worried about his next TV appearance and next drink than turning our program around.

I'll take Gus or Rhett tomorrow.

Classic.

Seems like dirty pool to me somehow to post this. Feels slimy.

[lutherheggs]

Loved that character in Gone With The Wind.

[NuttinItUp]

All these coaches have skeletons in their closets. (at least the successful ones do)
Lashlee's aren't any worse than anyone elses.

Now, he is inexperienced, and I wouldn't want him as our coach.

so you're saying it was Lashlee. In the study. With the candlestick. I always knew it.

[10thPlanet]

Truth is, no one is without sin. Although some believe they're perfect. Given the same environment, and cash flow a lot would stumble. Oh, except for the perfect ones.

[outlawhogeywells]

A deep dive into his background will keep him from being here.

so gus at auburn gets top five talent year in and year out and is suppose to be a qb coach and yet he still does not have a qb that could carry allen's jock and he won't finish in the top 20 by years end.  with all that talent and his "genius" he should be a top 10 team every year.  No thanks I will pass on gus

Was Lashlee really on his way out? Why would the Tigers' offensive coordinator up and leave? More importantly, who would take his place?

Did every player like Lashlee?

Probably not.

But did some?

Absolutely.

Every player Lashlee came to know might not have liked or agreed with his every decision — that's rarely the case. Still, as players log long days in and around the athletic complex, you come to appreciate particular qualities about certain members of the staff. Different coaches have different strengths, talents and ways of connecting with their players.

More than anything members of the team often recognize and appreciate the time and effort coaches dedicate to their teams (especially when a coach has young kids as Lashlee does).

Sometimes it takes a player graduating and living life away from college sports to realize the impact a coach had on them. In other cases, a coach leaves rather suddenly, causing players to stop, recall and appreciate how that person tried to help them grow as a player and person.

Lashlee's time may have been up on the Plains...

Fargo.  Awesome!

[GrouchyOldGuy]

Oh, I also think we've done 4 years of bleeding its time to put the bandages on and find a winner....We did the same thing with a string of basketball coaches after Nolan....

B.ert's conference record is 10-22, that's acceptable nowadays? Man things have changed! We award total failure we are paying loads of money for failure....
