Sonny Dykes made a big addition to his staff Thursday, hiring Rhett Lashlee as the football team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach.
Lashlee comes to SMU after one season at UConn. Before that, he spent four seasons as Auburn’s offensive coordinator.
“My family and I are thrilled about joining Coach Dykes’ staff on the Hilltop,” Lashlee said in a release. “Between SMU’s storied history and Coach Dykes’ proven success – there are a lot of great things happening with Mustang football. Blending Coach Dykes’ exciting brand of football with my background and vision will create some exciting Saturdays at Ford Stadium.
