SMU COACH RHETT Lashlee might have a sleepless first week on the job to thank for this historic Mustangs season.
Lashlee was hired on Nov. 30, 2021, just about two weeks before signing day. He was trying to re-recruit the kids who were committed to the previous coach, Sonny Dykes, who departed for TCU. He was trying to re-recruit his own roster. And he was looking to potentially add finishing touches on the class after arriving from Miami, where he'd been for two years as offensive coordinator.
So on that first Friday night, he went to watch South Oak Cliff play Lovejoy at The Star, the Dallas Cowboys' practice facility in Frisco that also doubles as a high school venue.
