Consider this about Lashlee...

[fraggle]

SMU recruiting class is ranked 79th, Miami 17th. I smell chicken salad.

 

[nystateofmind]

That’s actually higher than I thought it was going to be.

 

[Shogungts]

For someone slow like me, are you saying that he is going to do better with better talent of that he is not a good recruiter?

***** rankings. If your players are lazy, entitled, and come here for "paradise", you can just throw the rankings out the window.

Better ingredients should make better chicken salad.

Stay positive, @fraggle. When you turn mope all hope is lost.

Pretty sure he is saying the former, and it's a good point.

All that shows is that the hire was great he made use with lesser talent and still was prolific that’s awesome that’s how urban Meyer grew from bowling gree,Utah,Florida,on to OSU

Recruiting rankings rarely take into consideration a young man's work ethic and ability to learn. I'd put SMU's football IQ a **** of a lot higher than Miami's.

Manny will spend the rest of his life regretting the decision to hire Enos.

But he'll never get that he helped create this garbage with his trinkets, forced celebrations and dance parties.

We can only be so lucky.

Better ingredients. Better Pizza. Papa Juans

Papa John's chicken salad?

Well that's better than Chicken ****.

It seems like a really good hire. But this is also true. Lashlee is going to have to deal with a lower football IQ than he is used to.

I LOVE the hire. I think Lashlee is top notch, period. I just don't think anyone can do well if you can't instill discipline, and don't have a team smart enough to do simple things consistently.

I would think (hope?) that he's not that tone deaf. I suspect he saw the spark the turnover chain brought and figure the other bling would do the same. If you're winning, you're having fun, so maybe if you're having fun, you're winning. He talked smack and expected Enos' offense to back it up. That's when everything went to sht.

If I was him, the bling gets packed up, there is no celebration allowed, and if the players miss it, that's their reward for getting to the ACCCG game.

I'd simply tell them, "If you want to wear rings, win championships. If you want to celebrate, celebrate wins." Manny has brought in a mindset of short term success. A big play gets you a trophy. A win? Meh, whatever.

There is simply too much focus on the splash, and not enough concern about the depth of the water in the pool.

 

[Brandinho]

He had the 79th ranked recruiting class but played against C-USA competition.

Yes, he's getting a talent upgrade but that comes at the cost of playing against better competition and coaching.
