Terms of Lashlee’s contract were not disclosed, as SMU is a private institution. In November 2023, he also received a multiyear extension to ensure he remains on the Hilltop for years to come, according to athletic director Rick Hart. Under Lashlee’s leadership, SMU is 18-2 in its last 20 games and has made the transition from the AAC to the ACC look seamless. The only loss this season came in early September against BYU in a close 18-15 game.
