Ok, lets act as if everyone was calling for Chavis's head It makes everyone feel better. Everything is better now that we got a new DC

This is what I think tigerfoot is trying to say:

Yes, Chavis's defense "blew it" on the last possession several times over the past 2 seasons. But the only reason we were tied/in the lead is because the defense kept us in it. With a lesser DC we would have been down 2+ scores by that time.

Chavis is a good DC against teams with traditional style offenses. His greatest difficulty is coordinating a defense that can stop the spread. Notre Dame knew exactly how to beat Chavis' defense, and they even changed their starting QB to do it. And it worked for them. Maybe Chavis should've recognized ahead of time why ND was changing their QB and developed a defensive strategy to stop them...But then again, he couldn't figure it out all season long, so why would I think he could do it for the bowl game. Would've been the same next year too. At least maybe, Coach Steele might have an idea on how to stop the spread and a QB that just runs up the middle all day long. Just sayin'

In all honesty, there were a lot of people beginning to think it may be time for a change with Chavis.....just like there are people out there now (me included) that feel it might be a time for a change with Sean Payton at the Saints....he had a good run, but seems to be stale now. Also, I think some are underestimating Steele. He may have failed a few times, but look what he had to work with. In addition, Saban was paying him almost $1m...I don't think he was doing that because he just liked the guy.
