I don't know if "hot seat" is the right term but I do know that none of my Auburn friends were Lashlee 'fans'.
My Auburn friends all felt that Lashlee was given too much control over the offense and that he caused a lot of their problems the 2 years before he left for UConn. I think it was probably more an issue of a head coach handing over 'control' without actually wanting to give up control... 2 coordinators on the same side of ball rarely works well, in my opinion.
I knew there was tension there before he left Auburn.
