Begs the question.
Do we really have to pay Rhett Lashlee over $600,000 a year to stand around and tell Gus how great he is? I'd do it for half that. And look better doing it.
For $600,000 a year we could get 3.3 Cam Newtons. Is one Lashlee worth 3.3 Cams?
And another thing. Lashlee made more than Dameyune Craig by $100k+. He makes more than Rodney Garner. He made more than Lance Thompson. He'll make more than Herb Hand. More than McGriff. Way more
That's who Malzahn is. And that, more than anything, makes me tired of Malzahn. What does Lashlee contribute to justify that kind of salary or preferential treatment? Why are we handing him more than half a million a year?
Is he an outstanding recruiter? No.
Is he a great coordinator? Fuck no.
What. Does. He. Do?
Tuberville had his BBQ club. But almost all of those coaches had success and have continued their careers, some to decent success.
Where the hell else could Rhett Lashlee get hired?
