This is the second straight year that an LSU defensive coordinator has left to join an SEC West rival, as John Chavis left for Texas A&M after the Music City Bowl last season.

If he needed the Bama system retirement he should have never left there. LSU just gave him his first ever semi-successful stint as a DC. It was a bad hire that just proved to be a bad hire after this one and done. Good riddance. This plus Chief getting rolled by Louisville made for a very pleasant day on Dec. 30!

Geaux Tigers!

I never wanted him from the beginning. Wish him the best of luck, but Auburn did the Tigers a favor...

I said during the season I know he has not coached a full year here but wish we could let him go. Auburn thank you! Don't think he would have been let go otherwise. Best of luck to him!
