re: When is Les going to formally announce Chavis as the DC?

quote:

More likely than going into next season without a defensive line coach or a defensive backs coach? Because that's what 'Miles using this as an excuse not to do anything else' would entail.

as I said, your scenario is the most likely,
but never rule out anything

some of you act as if you have been seating in the meetings and are privilege in hearing all that goes on, when you are really only guessing as well....your views are absolute !

The only thing you demonstrate with your position is that you either do not have the intelligence, education or tolerance to entertain any other ideas or concept but your own.

If it is not EXACTLY as you envisioned it (guessed),
IT CAN NOT EXIST or be allowed to exist,
"so we must attack".

so..go argue with yourself and pray that you are going to be right so you can then say
"I Told You So",
as if that were to impress anyone but yourself.

DANG !!!

Latest from Dandy Don.

In other LSU football news, I was told Friday that Les Miles will hold a press conference early new week to introduce his new defensive coordinator, John Chavis, and the other new coaches on the defensive side of the ball. I also learned late Friday night from very reliable sources that LSU offensive left tackle Ciron Black and tight end Richard Dickson have decided to return to LSU for their senior seasons.

FWIW.......

sure don't want to pop anyones bubble, but i said this before on one of these pages. fwiw, do not believe that Chavis is a sure thing until it is done deal. rumors are just that and one circulated out of UT that his ties to them have a huge clause that may cause this to not happen!!! if it does, LSU will have to pay dearly.... and if i am wrong, i accept that, just passing on what i heard from a fairly reputable source.

"Yeah, hey Chavis, you're fired. Oh by the way, even though you are fired, you still have a buyout a team has to pay to hire you. Even though you no longer work for us."

That sounds like it is logical.

Hows this possible? He was not retained..

That's one way to put it. Another way to put it is that he was fired. Yet another way to put it is that he was fired by Lane Kiffin. And yet another way to put it is that he was fired by Lane Kiffin so that Kiffin could hire his father Monte.

If I were Chavis I'd sue. The only thing is - Chavis has been around so long, and probably doesn't have the snake as his agent - there might be a clause in his contract that he could be asked to take another position on the staff (e.g. Linebackers) at the same salary. If that was the option offered (and I'm just speculating, I have no idea what happened, other than I believe he was straight up 'not retained') then he might have some contractual problems.

However, I think that's highly unlikely. At worst I suspect that they wish him well, and it's a wash. It's more likely that, if he had years remaining on his contract that Tennessee has to pay him something.
