fuck Bobby...why even bother posting other than to quasi brag you know some shit but not really. He sucked on rabid hog fans years ago and still sucks. Stick to dancing with the stars not football schtick

Rhett Lashlee's wiki bio says this.

Lashlee played college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Lashlee was a backup quarterback to Matt Jones, from 2002 to 2004 for the Razorbacks.

Since I follow the Razorbacks as much as anyone and don't remember him AT ALL (like, not even a tickle in the back of the brain), I looked up his stats.

2002 – no stats
2003 – 2 GP, 1 passing attempt
2004 – no stats


Does this count as playing college football for the Arkansas Razorbacks 2002-2004?

I think he was like the #3 QB at best.

He loved the helmet.

Lashlee just signed a mega deal at SMU that makes him one of the 10 highest paid coaches.

Lol we're getting raises for the SMU coach. Medium-time program we are.

[Natty_Ice]

so um, what is Skip Holtz up to these days?

[vegashog]

they better hope this season is an anomaly.

arkansas was never going to pay the guy top ten money.

Stupid move

Good

[DirkPiggler]

Wait that name sounds right too.

Was Bland the backup QB who got injured thus requiring Rutledge?

Bland was Quinn Grovey's backup.

same. All the talk was giving me ptsd

Gus taught him well. Use Arkansas as leverage for a massive deal at your current job.

I didn't want Lashlee anyway, but I think it's telling that a former player, and apparently our #1 pick for Sam's replacement, doesn't want the job. We are going to end up with Bobby due to the fact that no one wants the job. Or we poach Drink from Missouri, which would be hilarious.

arkansas wasn't the only program to show interest in him. and why is it a bad thing that smu overpaid for the guy, especially if you're wanting petrino as coach?

supposedly he told arkansas early on that he didn't want to leave smu right now so it's not like he was the only coach that they are looking at.

SMU vastly overpaid.  If it takes top 10 money to get him, it's clearly not worth it and best to pass.

SMU will regret paying that much money for a coach. They are like Baylor who struggle to get interest outside of alums.  They will never be "the school" for Dallas, even most of their students are mostly tsip, A&M, or fans of big schools from wherever the fuck they grew up.  Lashlee's money, nil and program all come from the same pockets. And they don't get big corporate dollars.  Until they rate playing in a stadium as big as Allen high school's they will be sucking a mostly dry straw.

I like the adaptability of Silverfield as he works the portal great and molds new teams into contenders each year.  His teams play hard. 

I like Eric Morris and his offense as he's a leach disciple and he's won everywhere.

I agree with JFB.  Gotta be a head coach.  We can't be the proving ground for OCs.

I guess it's Dallas money making a statement.

100%. He's not worth the bidding war.

[egregious]

Stupid move

ain't gonna be the last one

This coaching situation is the perfect setup for "Tulip Bulb Mania" level stupidity.

The head coach is the CEO of the program.  I don't think other 9-figure companies pay this much though and all these colleges are not 9-figures.  TV makes them seem bigger.

They'll always be 3rd fiddle in Dallas, and ultimately lack the support TCU does on the other side of the metroplex

A few wealthy alums are spending bigly to get them relevant including the ACC membership without TV funds, but ultimately they are still playing games in a largely empty 35K seat stadium.  Nobody cares.
