Chavis and Texas....Miles and Michigan

This is less speculation than anything else out there. This is common sense. This is actually well thought out. This isn't sheep mentality.

I pretty much agree with you. Les seems like a very decent person. I really dont think Les would screw over Chavis like this.
Not to mention Mich is gonna be a nightmare to fix.

I honestly don't think Les knows whether he wants to go to Michigan or not at the time he would have talked to Chavis. Anything changes with what Michigan puts on the table. Of course Les is going to try to keep his better coordinator on staff.

That's true. However, Miles' interest in Michigan may be the reason why he talked to Texas in the first place.

As a CEO-type HC, Brown needs to surround himself with youthful assistants.

If Miles told Chavis that he was staying, why would Chavis have even talked to Texas?

Why is Tx talking to Moffitt???

Makes more since than any other Miles to Mich thread I read. He was either told Miles is staying (a good thing). Or maybe that Miles is going and your our guy, not a bad choice in my opinion. Possibly he may have been assured he and his staff are safe no matter who the next head guy will be (not very desirable situation while recruiting a new HC).

With all the speculative talk of if Miles goes & potentially who his replacement will be, I have not heard much talk about Chavis. The players love him, he has a proven track record of loyalty to the institutions he has coached. Not to mention he is a good recruiter and he has puts together a fine defense year end and year out. The fact that he would come in with a price tag considerably lower than a big name could be reason alone for our current AD to take him into serious consideration. I personally like defensive minded coaches, look at Saban. Those type head coaches usually install a ground pounding low risk high reward play action passing game. I have always believed that this type of system has suited LSU and we have the BCS championships to prove it.

Also entirely possible that Chavis is kept on by a new HC if Miles leaves, unless that HC runs an entirely different defensive scheme or something.

Here's what Mile's needs to say:

"You dont leave LSU to go to another program. You leave other programs to come to LSU."

that would be bad arse.

Why do people think they can take our head coaches, like its a promotion to go elsewhere????

The NFL is the only reason to leave LSU voluntarily, other then retirement., and Saban found out that's likely a mistake too.

Only reason is Miles tie to Michigan. Otherwise, there would be no speculation. Saban was never rumored to go another school...just the NFL.

I said the exact thing earlier this week...

as far as interviewing....most smart execs (or professionals in general) are ALWAYS open to interviewing when they contact you...

I love my job and situation and I interview with competitors as least once or twice a year...its good to have a conversation and to see what is happening elsewhere in your field.
