I’m a Lashlee fan so I’d hate to see it happen but there are worse places he could go for his first head coaching job. He’d be taking over a team that’s got plenty of spread personnel already and an established guy at QB. I hope he’s holding out for a P5 position though.
Terry Mohajir leaves Arkansas State to become athletic director at UCF
UCF on Tuesday hired Terry Mohajir away from Arkansas State to be its next athletic director.www.espn.com
Mohair has ties to Rhett Lashlee from Arkansas State. UCF is looking for a head coach after Josh Heupel followed Danny White to Tennessee. I would not be surprised if Lashlee interviews for the position.
If Lashlee leaves at all, it’ll be for one of the major players. Two people I have talked to (who know far more than I do) say he could have his eyes set on Oklahoma after Lincoln is poached either by the NFL or when Saban retires, possibly Alabama. There is no reason for Lashlee to go to UCF for his first HC gig. He can and will be able to do much better after this season. Potentially even somewhere in the NFL if he has a Joe Brady-like effect this year.
You're delusional if you think ******* Alabama or OU would hire Miami's OC to be their head coach.
I don’t think anything and I didn’t say anything about Alabama hiring Rhett. That was about Lincoln and I just relay what I was told. We will see, based on this year, what his real ceiling is. I trust the people I talk to at the end of the day so I will be shocked if he looks at this UCF opening. On Joe Brady, I agree fully, I was using the name as a descriptor for the statistically great season Miami could have on the offencive side and what those numbers could do for Lashlee and his career direction. Joe Brady was an anomaly and was heavily aided by Joe Burrow among other players but the comparison would be apt, should it happen I feel.
I hope that’s the case but I seriously doubt Alabama is looking to hire a first time head coach after Saban. Same for Oklahoma. Riley is a first timer but he was already on staff as the OC before being promoted. I do believe Lashlee could parlay a great season at Miami into a P5 job for 2022 though.
I must have phrased that badly, I am sorry. I meant that OU’s HC position would be open after Lincoln left for either Alabama (just think there is mutual interest) or the NFL (pure speculation on where, obviously). I agree with you about Lashlee being able to parlay a great season at Miami this year, absolutely.
No he isn't, he's coaching at Maryland
I guess we're out of options!
Lol, ALWAYS.. just CTC..
