Alright, college football fans, let’s talk about Rhett Lashlee. Yeah, the guy who sits in the driving seat at the SMU. Currently, he’s busy preparing his boys for their upcoming conference championship game against the Clemson Tigers to win the ACC title and they’re still hoping for a playoff spot.

The Mustangs are safely riding with an 11-1 record, while their head coach, Lashlee, is more than ever happy to lead the program for the greatest season of its history. But as they say, behind every great coach is someone even greater. Enter his wife, aka Rhett’s ride-or-die and the unsung hero of his life.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Lauren Lashlee the real MVP behind SMU's success, or is it all Rhett's coaching genius?

Have an interesting take?

And life as a coach’s wife isn’t all touchdown celebrations and team dinners. Rhett’s quite equipped with building game plans and recruiting and whatnot while Lauren holds down the fort. She got that MVP energy, balancing family life as well as still being Rhett’s biggest cheerleader.

When did Rhett Lashlee get married?

After dating for a while in their college time, the couple tied the knot in 2007, kicking off their joint adventure that’s been one long highlight reel so far. Fast forward a few years, and the Lashlee couple is now parenting not one but two sets of twins. Yeah, you heard that right: Thomas and Hudson, who are thirteen-year-old twin boys, welcomed another set of twin girls, Rowyn and Scarlet, 8 years ago, the Double Trouble duo. And if you say coaching football is tough, ask Rhett Lashlee how hard it is to parent four kids while doing it. That’s next-level stuff but by Lauren’s side, Rhett is quite confident in his career.

While Lauren is not just a background either. She is all around the SMU community. And you would find her at most of the Mustang games, boosting the confidence of those young boys. She attends all those Mustang events as well and if you visit her Instagram, you’ll find some amazing off-the-field family stuff of the Lashlee family with the Mustang boys.

Well, that’s incredible! As of now, these dudes are going to run an ACC championship game that will be played on Saturday, but even Rhett admits it wouldn’t have been done without his fam’s support, saying, “Lauren, Hudson, Thomas, Rowyn, Scarlet, and I are all so excited to be mustangs.” Now you know, Lauren isn’t just Rhett’s wife; she’s the backbone of the Lashlee family and a source of inspiration for Rhett.
