Offensive Staff under Lashlee

[Jaxson Villain]

I know we are still a ways out from a OC hire being announced, and seeing how Lashlee’s name has been leaked, he probably won’t end up being the hire. None the less, this is the first name being reported that interviewed for the position so I wanted to discuss what the staff would potentially look like on the offensive side of the ball if he is hired.

Does anyone have any insight in the guys he has worked with or has connections to that he could potentially bring in with him as part of his staff? Any guesses at a mock staff with Lashlee at OC?

Hickson and Field would probably be retained.

Hickson and Field would probably be retained.

Do you view that as a good or bad thing?

 

[Jaxson Villain]

Hickson and Field would probably be retained.

I assume that would probably be the case, but what about the rest of the spots? Has he worked with anyone at multiple spots? Did he play with anyone that is currently in coaching? Who was he responsible for hiring at SMU?

Worked with JB Grimes at Ark St, Auburn, and UConn. He’s now back at Auburn as OL coach.

Thanks, I will look in to him. Wonder if we could pry him from Auburn?

Whoever Lashlee wants that wants to be at UM is your answer.

Any input on Grimes as a recruiter, evaluator, and developer?

Insightful, thanks for taking the time to post. It’s a wonder that you’ve got over 3,000 posts with such thought provoking stuff.

Why do you say that? Is it likely a money issue or more of a cultural fit that makes you say no chance?

salary is $425,000 at Auburn

This is my concern, look at the staff we have under a "splash" and "big name from Alabama" what kind of staff will we get from an SMU up and comer?

I just don’t see a guy that is on his 2nd tenure at Auburn leaving for a much lesser job. Why would he? They can pay him more and it’s a better job/program.

We're not poaching auburn's O line coach

Probably not. Im not sure why he left Auburn the first time to go to Cincinnati before reuniting with Lashlee at UConn. Solid coach though and an average recruiter.

His old buddy Trooper Taylor from his first stint at Auburn. That'll be the new WR coach
