That would be pretty sick - Chavis to A&M, Smith to LSU. I don't see any reason why Smith would make that lateral move, but nothing surprises me anymore.

If Chavis would walk into the empty cupboard scenerio at aTm for 1yr & a little more money, I'm sure Smith would have no problem inheriting a treasure trove of youth & NFL-esque talent at LSU for a little more money. Chavis' "supposed" move to aTm proves ANYTHING is possible.

Smith's emphasized stopping the run first. In a LOS scrimmage league and Division, that's an excellent MO. They have played well and he's a big reason. Wouldn't be pissed if he got an interview.

Looks like he is back on his way to his home state of Florida.

Different circumstances. Chavis sees signs that Miles' time at LSU may be coming to an end soon, and Chavis wants security while he is still considered a top DC in the game. Smith is set at Arkansas for as long as Bert is there and Bert is trending up, not down like Miles. Why would Smith hitch his career to Miles on the decline instead of riding the huge wave of momentum he and Bert have built this last year?

This is simple...Rkansas to LSU is no where near a lateral move! LSU is and has always been more attractive than the pigs. This would be a major promotion!

Arky has great defensive players that I believe are headed to the NFL,correct?

Before we annoit Smith the next great DC, he should prove it over a 5-7 year period.

Meanwhile, LSU has lost loads of (juniors) talent on Defense the last 2 seasons

Flowers and Spaight are, Philon hasn't announced yet.

The job he and Jennings did with the secondary was amazing with not much talent though given how awful they've been the past who knows how long

how is working under Les a promotion in any way? The offense sucks so let's let the defensive coordinator go on to greener pastures. Pretty sure if I was a dc I would just as soon work under John L Smith- about the same on tard level with Les.

It's all about NFL jobs. I don't think you know what I'm talking about though.
