Much to expect from Lashlee in new season?
It was only five days after Sonny Dykes’ departure from SMU that his replacement was announced. Farewells were bid and emotions were expressed, but one thing SMU made clear was that life moved on, and that the only way was forward for the team.
Rhett Lashlee’s election as head coach was no surprise from SMU. Lashlee had previously served as offensive coordinator for the Mustangs in 2019 when they had their impressive record-setting season, finishing with a 10-3 record in the American Athletic Conference, and remaining unbeaten at home throughout the year.
