AK State is a sneaky good gig.Lashlee is an Arkansas guy and this is where his mentor (Malzhan) got his 1st HC job..just something to watch for..
Longo currently makes 900K at UNC and actually has I believe 2 years of HC experience, albeit at a small school, but still.They seem to always hire offensive minded guys.. I'd say their search consists of Lashlee, Longo, Briles (maybe they would even be the school to hire Art Briles?), Brian Johnson, Lebby, and maybe even Fedora.

Arkansas State is kinda like that Temple job in that it's a stepping stone to a better position. I don't see Lashlee getting top tier P5 offers, and if he does, it'll be at a punching bag school that never wins.
He can follow in his mentors footsteps by taking the AK State job and parlay that into a better gig after getting some HC experience.
Temple wanted Manny just two years ago.When is the last time we had a coach on staff other people want? feels good, man
So is Blake James...2 for 1 #BOGOBlake Baker is available
Fair - I just remember when we stayed having coaches getting taken. Mostly from the NFL. That's when I know we're back!Temple wanted Manny just two years ago.
Yea he talked about it recently. Didn’t sound like he was going to rush it thoDo we know if Lashlee have HC aspirations?
He has done a nice job at UM and we’ve put up big numbers against some pretty weak defenses. Clemson suffocated his plan, Virginia was a struggle and so on. I don’t see him getting a HC gig anywhere this year unless he wants a job a bunch of people say no to with a pay cut. He is not a highly sought after commodity in the HC businessWe gonna **** our pants every time a job comes open?
According to who?....He is highly sought after commodity in the HC business
On the real though, I wouldn't be shocked if Baker was an attractive candidate for a program like this. They're not going to get top tier coaching candidates. They'll have to reach and take a shot on some candidates like Blake.Blake Baker is available
It's a message board conversationSeriously, you guys worry about the stupidest shlt. How do you get through your lives?
You can’t control any of this so why even worry about it. If he’s going to leave, he leaves that’s it.
Even UM has little they can do.
If Lashlee determines this is the right career move for him, it really doesn’t matter what we offer, he’s gone, assuming the job is in line with his career plans and future planned timeline.
Every time a job opens you act like terrified children and start coming up with completely made up rationales of why he wouldnt leave.
Rationales which are basically meaningless, because you don’t know what his career plans or what his thought process are in managing his career.
Relax and enjoy the games. If he leaves, he’s not the only innovative offensive mind on the college football landscape that’s a fit. Trust that.
If this year has shown anything, it’s shown that this is an excellent destination and/or stepping stone for offensive minds to get in some awesome lab experiments and put up even more gaudy numbers.
What innovative offensive mind wouldn’t want to work in this lab?
