The dude would be awesome with LSU talent UAB is ranked #7 in total defense this year.

ETA:

A two-time Broyles Award nominee, Reeves’ unit has been one of the most disruptive defenses in the country over the past two years. In 2018, the Blazers finished ninth nationally in total defense and in 2019 moved up one spot to finish eighth.

quote:

Over the past two seasons, UAB has been among the nation’s best in getting to the quarterback, compiling 92 total sacks and 217 tackles for loss. Additionally, UAB has been able to get off the field when it counted the most, finished No. 2 nationally in third down defense in 2018 and No. 3 in 2019.

Reeves is a better hire than Freeman just not as hyped.

Who needs a pension when you can get that sweet LSU buyout cash?

Yep. Freeman isn’t the only up and comer out there. Arnett and Lukabu could be just as good here.

Why hasn’t Reeves moved on from UAB yet. You never hear his name for big dc jobs. I don’t know why. Just wondering

Probably more questions here if he's in full control of the defense than what we saw in Freeman. Not just that not sure they've really played any power 5 school and consistently shown he can do it at the next level.

Wouldn't hate the hire but I don't think you start him off at 2.5+ million either because it's more riskier.

He was working as a linebackers coach after getting fired at Clemson. My disgust level was at an all time high. Of course the gift of aranda a year later was worth it.

String rumors that Bill Clark is the main man behind UABs defense

I don’t get why people keep using this line of thinking; isn’t that something you look for in a coordinator hire-“Who did this guy learn from & work with?” Why is it ok to promote Raymond to DC who’s never been anything more than a position coach. I mean everyone is ecstatic because we hired an OC & PGC who worked under/for Brady. What’s the difference? He’s a coordinator under a HC who, apparently, is a damn good defensive coach who is VERY much involved in the defensive coaching, scheming, & game planning; sound familiar? If he’s sitting there soaking it all in by working alongside & with Clark, isn’t that a plus? Sometimes a head coach has to step in but they usually don’t keep the guy he’s stepping in for around for 5 years. I don’t know what/who the answer is but I do know I like what this guy has accomplished & think, if Clark really is a big part of the defense, then he can bring everything he’s learned with him to LSU.
