Congrats to Coach Lashlee

[WanderFranco]

He’s saying they’ll be in a big conference

He literally said "The Mustangs can run with the big boys".

 

[Ispyin]

Will take a lot to get him to leave. SMU is rich.

He can be their Howard tbh just without a national title lol

 

[Rellyrell]

Year 2, huh? Interesting

 

[CanesZ06]

Conference champs and 11 wins.

So one less win than Mario has in two years. Impressive

 

[BS85]

fair.

lashlee says at SMU and they have best performing progrum in Texas over next decade

I have them winning the Super Bowl within 5 years.

 

[TallyCane]

He will be the South Carolina coach next year.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

I do NOT want to face SMU in a Bowl Game.

Lashlee is an assassin.

Remember when we had assassins as head coaches here?

 

[FrancisSawyer]

He will be the South Carolina coach next year.

That would be a really dumb move on his part.

 

[JD4]

The Lashlee haters are going to be Super triggered

I’m not a lashlee hater but as a Miami fan I’d love to crush them in a bowl game

 

[E1k]

I have them winning the Super Bowl within 5 years.

[caneworld]

I expect him to get snatched up by a big name program if he continues to win at SMU.

SMU has the Brinks truck in the garage..

 

[FrancisSawyer]

Defense is a strength. Wouldn’t have called that. Bravo

A good coach is a good coach and Rhett Lashlee is a darn good coach!

 

[PalyCane]

Defense is a strength. Wouldn’t have called that. Bravo

They also had the 4th ranked scoring offense

 

[Brooklyndee]

they played 2 power 5 teams and they lost to them both. Pump your brakes...

 

[Cylo]

SMU beat Tulane with a backup QB too. He had a rough start with the turnovers but settled down. Lashlee an uprising star in the coaching ranks

 

[Cylo]

I’m not a lashlee hater but as a Miami fan I’d love to crush them in a bowl game

Back up QB vs Back up QB. Both are running QB too. Fletcher should have a big rushing game against SMU. A good test for SMU for whats to come in the ACC. I would have prefer Stone vs TVD but I'll take this

 

[MadDogCanez]

You have to watch the 30 for 30 about SMU's death penalty in the 80's. Incredible stuff.

SMU had the 2 headed Heisman running backs,James & ****erson……..

 

[Empirical Cane]

I dunno. SMU sees itself as a future big timer, so I imagine if they start to get that train really rolling, they’ll meet/beat any financial offer that comes his way.

- SMU is smaller enrollment than Miami
- Their on campus stadium is HS-esque (no it can't expand)
- Their student fans are even more apathetic than Miami's
- Attendance at games is abysmal
- Their donors are as rabid and committed to winning as Texas A&Ms and they have as much $$$$$$$$$


Where and how does that fit in today's CFB landscape?

There is a sense of mystique / comradery between the 2 programs for the way early cfb powers wanted to snuff out both minnow sized programs that were trying to beat out traditional giants...

Not saying that SMU was innocent, but the harshness of their program killing NCAA penalties became the model for threatening Miami... and almost succeeded. So in some sense we were tied through standing upto the NCAA persecution.
