293 Overwhelmed

In the 2007 season, Lu Yiqi's performance as an interim head coach at Kansas State University was obvious to all, and his ability was unanimously recognized.

There is no doubt that Lu Yiqi is the biggest discovery of the NCAA in the past season, and even Tim Tiber won the Heisman Award as a sophomore.

When Kansas State University and Lu Yiqi terminated the cooperation agreement, many schools were ready to move, including many traditional strong teams. They all looked forward to Lu Yiqi being able to inject new blood into their team and enhance their existing competitiveness, and they immediately sent invitations.

Even many schools have the idea of ​​inviting Lu Yiqi to be the head coach. The only thing that can stop such an idea is Lu Yiqi's age.

Twenty-nine-year-old head coach?

This is really shocking.

What's more, including the 2007 season, Lu Yiqi has only been the offensive coordinator for only two years, and he lacks experience. It is difficult to be 100% sure whether the magical performance of this past season of victory was a flash of inspiration or a coincidence of luck. The team needs more time to evaluate.

Schools that dare to take risks may not necessarily need to change head coaches; schools that need to change head coaches may not necessarily dare to take risks.

As a result, the major schools still extended olive branches of offensive coordinators; only some teams in the second-level division boldly issued the invitation of the head coach, hoping that Lu Yiqi's joining could bring about a complete change to the team-

Anyway, they lack talented players, so they still need to rely on the head coach's tactical guidance to open up the situation. It is also a routine operation to invest more strength in the coaching staff.

In short, since Kansas State University issued the announcement, Lu Yiqi has received invitations from eleven different schools in just two weeks.

He doesn't need to worry about unemployment for the time being.

However, the weight and content of the eleven invitations were different, with Auburn University, Stanford University and Michigan State University being the most active.

There is no need to say much about Michigan State University. This is Lu Yiqi's alma mater and it is also the starting point of Lu Yiqi's coaching career. Even if Lu Yiqi leaves Michigan State University and comes to Kansas State University to work, they have not lost their friendship at all. They open their arms at the first time and welcome Lu Yiqi's return at any time.

There is no doubt that sincerity and attitude are the most generous in the distribution of powers: they promised to hand over the on-site offensive command to Lu Yiqi, and even hoped that Lu Yiqi could recommend a quarterback coach.

The subtext is obvious. They look forward to Lu Yiqi establishing his own department at Michigan State University, and waiting for the time to get right, he can directly take over the head coach's coach's handsome seal.

This is the unconditional support from the alma mater.

Auburn University and Stanford University are somewhat similar. Although the former suffered a reversal from Kansas State University in the season opening match and head coach Jimmy Xtepville also had some unpleasantness with Lu Yiqi, the management of Auburn University did not care, but instead appreciated Lu Yiqi.

Both universities hope that Lu Yiqi can participate in the selection of freshmen in the new semester. On the one hand, he is interested in Lu Yiqi's ability to cultivate newcomers. Walker, Nelson, Banks, Campbell and others are all reborn in Lu Yiqi's hands; on the other hand, he expresses enough sincerity and allows Lu Yiqi to establish an offensive team based on his own tactical concepts. If he succeeds, it may not be impossible to go further in the future.

From Lu Yiqi's perspective, it is interesting that Auburn University and Stanford University later delivered a No. 1 pick quarterback to the NFL:

Cam Newton in 2011 and Andrew Lack in 2012.

Both universities are strong teams in the first-level NCAA division. Both universities have the ability to compete for the championship. The environment and conditions of both universities are very close, and they are at the same level in all aspects. In addition, two excellent quarterbacks at the starting level of the NFL in the future, this also means:

No matter which of the two schools Lu Yiqi chooses, he will have a strong offensive team and create a sharp spear based on his own philosophy. The difference is, how should he make a choice whether it is a running quarterback Newton or a pocket quarterback Lark?

These schools, including Michigan State University, are urging themselves to a little urgent because they need to hold one or two training camps to inspect players before formally deciding which players to admit, and those popular players often need to start as soon as possible or miss the opportunity.

Their eagerness also comes from trust and respect for Lu Yiqi-

We sincerely invite Lu Yiqi to join the coaching team and participate in important decisions; otherwise, Lu Yiqi is just an offensive coordinator, and they can temporarily put Lu Yiqi aside and let Lu Yiqi hesitate and think slowly, while the team will complete the inspection work step by step, without referring to Lu Yiqi's opinions.

But Lu Yiqi will take a little time.

Leaving Kansas State University was Lu Yiqi's second time changing his coaching job. Although he knew that leaving and saying goodbye was part of this job and part of his life; the truth was actually not an easy thing - even if it was the second farewell.

And in this way, this is definitely not a farewell that Lu Yiqi is looking forward to. For him, he has a vague premonition. He does not regret or fear, and can face the current ending calmly; but for fans, such as Alma, it is a heavy injury.

Although Lu Yiqi also understood that he needed to make a quick decision and cut the mess with a quick knife; he was still in a heavy mood.

He just needs a little time.

But the death-seeking shouts outside the door panel broke Lu Yiqi's tranquility.

"Aqi?"

"Aqi!"

Before the person appeared, through the door panel, you could feel Augustus's aura rolling towards him, as if the ground was trembling.

"Achi!" Then Augustus pushed the door open and walked in, "Did you hear my message? Why is your phone still turned off?"

Standing at the door and looking around, then seeing Lu Yiqi standing in the kitchen, Augustus rushed over happily, "Louisiana State University sent me an invitation!"

"Haha! How about it? This is the championship team this year. They must have felt my charm. In addition to their handsome image and outstanding abilities, there is also an irresistible personality charm. So I sent out a grand invitation. I think they are very visionary."
