Radio host Bill King called Chavis an average DC and not an elite DC

He said he could never stop Spurrier during his heyday at Florida...Could anyone stop Fla. then except for maybe Fla. St.? King also said that Chavis is made to look better than he is due to the talent at LSU..LSU will always have at least top 15 talent, so I guess Chavis just lucked up, right?
Seems like Chavis has done ok beating Spurrier on the reg at S Carolina along with Auburn and stopping Manzel when no one else could. And we've been in the games with Bama.
Bill King seems like a nice guy and he's entitled to his opinion.

Well, Chavis didn't do all that great when the talent left Tennessee
But with the players for his system, I don't think there's a better DC in the country

All elite DC's need something to work with, otherwise they're just average too.

I like Bill King. Used to listen to him on WLAC in Nashville (clear channel like WWL). But he's wrong on this.
And,Tennessee did a good job with Florida from 1998-2001.

How's the ole ball coach doing without the talent he had in Florida back in the day?

What DC does great without talented football players?

Bud Foster
Mickey Andrews
Ellis Johnson
Charlie Strong
Will Muschamp
Bo Pelini
Nick Saban
All of these guys have seen poor years on D when there is a talent deficit.
IMO, Chavis had one of his best years this year. That defense was depleted on the DL as bad as I've ever seen it. Multiple true Freshman seeing significant playing time, and they ended the season as a top 15 defense.

I don't disagree with his assessment.

Chavis' big knock towards the end at UT was not evolving to the spread and Urban Meyer.He was viewed at as a yesteryear coach unable to adapt along with Fat Phil.
I think Chavis has proven he has learned and evolved as a coach, which may or may not have been a problem while at UT, but some Tenn natives will never shake that impression.

Well you should. There is not a coach alive who can win big without talent across the board. Air heads that spout that crap just sound stupid to me. Nick Saban at ULL ain't winning Nattys'.

Let's extrapolate this for a bit. It's probably good if he's just an "average DC". If Chavis is just an average DC, then that bodes very well for us long term. We can field elite defenses with average DCs.
(Note: I don't believe he's an average DC, just extrapolating)

Johnny Football would disagree

Bill King's opinion is the same as Chavis'. He said last month on the radio that he has been fortunate in his career to coach extraordinarily talented young men. Makes everyone look a lot smarter.

That isn't saying much. What does he have to show for it? Chavis has made him look like shite when LSU has played USC.
