I can't confirm right now but if someone knows for sure feel free to call me out Im thinking the same without checking. You are both correct... and it was met with a collective "WTF!?!" from the entire Auburn nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aufan57 922 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Hopefully the passing game will no longer be a point of contention for Auburn Football. Malzahn must let Lindsey run the offense or he will be run off after next season. Quote Rhett Lashlee, Gus Malzahn had one big difference in philosophy The passing game was a point of contention among the play callers at Auburn, apparently. Rhett Lashlee does not refer to Gus Malzahn by his first name. His old high school coach and former boss at Arkansas State and Auburn will always be "coach", but that doesn't mean respect for Auburn's head coach translates into always agreeing with Malzahn. Lashlee, speaking publicly for the first time since he left Auburn's offensive coordinator job for the same job at UConn in January, went in depth Wednesday about his decision with reporters in Connecticut. Lashlee also revealed the main difference between his philosophy and Malzahn's approach on offense. "He is a great offensive coach, always has been, always will be," Lashlee said, according to the Hartford Courant. "He is always going to be involved in the offense. Even though we're on the same page in a lot of areas, believe in a lot of the same things, I may have a different personality in the passing game, maybe with the tight ends." Two passes were thrown to the tight end in 2016 and both resulted in touchdowns, including the final play of the season in a blowout loss to Oklahoma in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. *** Subscribe to Auburn Undercover: 7-DAY FREE TRIAL OF VIP ACCESS.*** Lashlee took a huge pay cut to leave Auburn and coach at UConn, where he will be paid $350,000 annually. His salary at Auburn was $600,000. "To the average person, yeah, it's not a common thing," Lashlee said, according to the report. "I think you've got to be comfortable in your own skin to do what you think is best for you and your family at a particular point in time. "Everything is not about money. Money can't make you happy. If you do this for money, you are doing it for the wrong reasons. I feel really good about the leadership with coach (Randy) Edsall and [athletic director] David Benedict. I believe in those guys. "I am very grateful to coach Malzahn. He has given me a lot of opportunities. We've had a really good run. But you get to a point in your career where you've kind of gone as far as you can go until you take another step. I knew for me to continue to advance as a coach, develop and grow, I was going to have to leave Auburn. It was time." Pro Football Focus releases updated first-round NFL mock draftSTART SLIDESHOW Auburn replaced Lashlee with Arizona State offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey, who Malzahn said will have full control of the offense and game-day play calls. Lindsey was an analyst at Auburn in 2013 and a longtime high school coach in Georgia and Alabama before a two-year stint at Southern Miss and one year at Arizona State as the offensive coordinator. http://auburn.247sports.com/Bolt/Rhett-Lashlee-Gus-Malzahn-had-one-big-difference-in-philosophy-51329445 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
