Rednilla 5,391 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Yeah, that's going to be a no for me. I would absolutely rather give the keys to Carnell and see what he can do than bring back Rhett Lashlee as HC. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81spacetiger 157 Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I hope we get a offensive minded coach - so I think I understand why you mentioned him by name - but our next coach has to have shown he can field a decent defense. I would love a top 20 D, but I think a top 30 D and a elite/very good O would be a winning formula. With this requirement, I don't think Rhett has shown he has mastered this facet so I don't think he is ready to earn a spot on the "B" list of coaches for consideration. I hope we can make our selection from the "A" list and not have to fall to the "B" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get to the ball quickly. Many times in the backfield even. Then they promptly miss the tackle… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miscram6 134 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 The main problem with this thread is the title of it: Quote I would settle… for Rhett Instead, how about the Auburn family REFUSE to settle this time?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyeCampAlum 335 Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share Posted November 7, 2022 I'm not usually a troll, but I'm enjoying getting my ass kicked here. In 2 years as Miami's OC, Lashlee elevated the offense a lot. SMU is doing just fine: two of SMU's losses were to ranked teams (TCU was close; UCF was not), a loss to a 6-3 Maryland team, and a 2-point loss to Cincinnati. That's entirely consistent with last year--and last year's coach seems pretty darn capable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Rhett may turn out to be a great coach but going to him at this point in time as a fall back option is pretty head scratching. He may be around #15 on my list of fall backs. Also the connection to Gus who the fan base is still not over would also be hard to overcome. Maybe 10 years from now if Rhett has continued to do well in the coaching ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Freak 2,528 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Rhett has more experience than Gus did when we hired him. But, please don't hire Rhett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
