Man, I’ve been diving deep into the world of college football lately, specifically focusing on SMU’s head coach, Rhett Lashlee. Let me tell you, this guy’s journey has been something else, and I’ve been all over it.
First off, I started digging into who this Rhett Lashlee is. Turns out, he’s not just some random coach. This dude has been making waves at SMU. I read a bunch of articles and found out he’s been named a finalist for the Paul “Bear” Bryant Coach of the Year Award. I mean, that’s a big deal, right? That got me hooked.
Then, I went further down the rabbit hole. I discovered that Lashlee also snagged the ACC Coach of the Year. That’s when I knew I was onto something interesting. It’s not every day a coach gets recognized like that, so I started to piece together his career at SMU.
- Noticed his record: 27-10. Pretty impressive for someone who landed back at SMU in 2021.
- Found out he was an offensive coordinator there before, from 2018-2019. Makes sense why the team’s offense is so killer.
So, I’m thinking, “What’s the deal with his contract?” Turns out, SMU really wants to keep him around. They’ve rewarded him with a new contract because of all the success he’s brought to the team. Smart move, if you ask me.
I even stumbled upon some stuff about SMU’s recent games. They’ve been dominating, especially in that game against TCU where they won 66-42. Lashlee talked about their physicality and those non-offensive touchdowns. It gave me a good picture of his coaching style – tough and smart.
The Final Score
After all this digging, it’s clear that Rhett Lashlee is a major reason for SMU’s success. They’re even at the top of the ACC standings! I watched some interviews with him, and he seems like a genuinely focused and driven guy. It’s no wonder SMU is doing so well under his leadership. It looks like this was a solid move for both sides. Keeping a coach like that is how you build a winning program. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on SMU and Coach Lashlee. This story isn’t over yet, that’s for sure.
