Power Ranking Rhett

[Webmaster]

Stewart Mandel of the New York Times wrote an article today ranking the Top 25 college football coaches. As you would probably surmise, out man Rhett Lashlee made the list (at #22).

"Lashlee has only been a head coach for three seasons, but over the last two, he’s led long-struggling SMU to back-to-back 11-win seasons, reached last season’s ACC championship game and earned a Playoff berth. The Mustangs’ No. 12 finish in the final AP Poll was the program’s highest since 1984. Not bad for their first year in a Power 4 conference."

Frankly, you could probably make the argument that Coach Lashlee should be ahead of most of #1-21, but we can wait for that until next year, I suppose.
