Jim Mcelwains best offer as a Saban NC winning assistant was Colorado St. Not sure why people thing Lashlee can overshoot him to get a solid P5 job
If Lashlee was ever going to get one, it was after turning a DB into a dominant QB and our 2013 or 2014 offenses

Well no shite. It's still the same concept. Lashlee can use his existing connections to pull players from the south, even if they're three star or low four star. The Kadarius Toney's and the obscure players that could only hope for an Auburn offer would be Rhett's feeding ground. Not only that, Lashlee would be able to expand on his recruiting connections to the north. Having that amount of connections would only strengthen his resume whenever he wants to move up.

My point was that concept doesn't translate as well in Lashlee's case. Urban was a proven national championship coach taking over a top 10 historic CFB program. Lashlee would be a brand new HC taking over a program with a very average history and not much of a national footprint. I just don't think that will play as well and Toney's going to Florida so he's not that obscure but I get your point
I wouldn't fault Lashlee for taking the job if he did I just don't think he would have a lot of success up there. I bet he's lower on their list though anyway, we will see

I get this. RL wouldn't be pulling in studs from the south like Urban Meyer. Im talking three stars generated by existing contacts and connections.

As opposed to having success in the south? There is little difference.

I'm surprised Pruitt from bama hasn't been in conversation for some of these HCing positions.

Bama will only go after proven HCs imo. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go through several coaches very quickly after Saban.

Pruitt has fielded good defenses at pretty much every stop on his own. Not sure wtf is going on that he doesn't even get mentioned
I've heard from some people he doesn't come across as intelligent. Seems to be smart enough to coach defenses though

I think I've read several threads on here that he has a very bad attitude, the guy can field a great defense though.

This, Uconn would be a really good first gig. He would have the normal recruiting channels and open up some routes into the South. Even some of the two and three stars from the South could be a big improvement to the program.

People are acting like UConn is some terrible first job
That is head and shoulders better than Arkansas St/Tulsa and many other rumored destinations in the past

No it's not. The recruiting bases are much better for an Arky St/Tulsa than for a UCONN.

Tulsa is ranked 97th and Connecticut ranked 104th in team recruiting rankings. Literally no significant difference except only at Uconn can a coach improve the program's relevance tremendously. Much like what David Cutcliffe did for Duke. They are currently ranked 34th in team recruiting but what do y'all think Duke's recruiting classes were ranked when they only won ten combined football games in the eight years prior to Cutcliffe?

No it isn't. A shitty fired coach put together a recruiting class that is within 10 ranks fo both Arkansas St and Tulsa
UConn pays their HC $2mil/yr already for an avg coach, Tulsa/Arkansas St both paid a fraction in 2016 for their coaches
UConn has the athletics foundation to be a solid program. They also have the low expectations to give a coach time to build it

What does pay have to do with anything? First time HC's take jobs so they can move up. Here is your history on UCONN........
Big East from 2004 - 2012.........26-35 conf. record
AAC from 2013 - 2016........9-23 conf. record
Name the last UCONN HC that went on to great things? UCONN is a place where HC careers go to die.

This is the irrelevant shite right here unless you think the new coach is using the old coach's script.
Hypothetically, a built up resume at Uconn is much greater than a resume built up at Tulsa. Why? Because much better competition.
