For me what is interesting is what he did without Malzhan and Dykes directing things as head coach.
In 2017 he was OC at UConn, an untalented team. UConn under his leadershipa averaged 23.6 points a game (ranked 103rd, nationally). UConn was 49th in total offense, averaging 415.2 yards a game.
However, the season before, UConn was the lowest scoring team in the nation, averaging 14.8 points a game. The Huskies were also 122nd in total offense (320 yards a game), 118th in rushing (117.3) and 94th in passing (202.7). So Lashlee had a big impact in helping facilitate a significant improvement.
Fusing and developing his own offense from the two profound influences of Malzahn’s running spread and Dykes run and shoot is intriguing.
