There may not be a person on the Miami Hurricanes football coaching staff who better understands what’ll take for UM to take down Alabama in its season opener on Saturday than offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee.
And there are very few coaches who’ve led an offense that has had multiple successful outings against the Crimson Tide since Nick Saban took over the program in 2007 like Lashlee has.
Since winning their first national championship under Saban in 2009, the Crimson Tide have gone 137-15 (90.1 winning percentage) in the following 11 seasons leading into this one.
Among those 15 losses includes a 2013 “Iron Bowl” defeat to Auburn, where Lashlee was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 2013-16.
