I liked Walker (young, firey guy with attacking defense and NFL experience looking to move forward)

Walker is 49 years old.

Vic Koenning (another young firey guy who has excelled at multiple programs)

Vic runs a very similar defense to Chavis. Fans at Clemson also think he plays way too soft on 3rd and long (both UT and Clemson fans are wrong, as are all fans who bitch btw).

George Walker (NFL experience and the guys he worked with/for are amazing).

Never been a college DC, it's a risk...besides, his name is George Edwards.

Greg Robinson

Wow...he is so far over the hill it's not funny. How can you be a defensive coach at a D1 school and rank in triple digits multiple years (his last two, not his first years...his kids, his philosopy)?



Now on to some real opinions about Chavis:

quote:

---

“He loves to blitz and play man-to-man defense,” said former Tennessee linebacker Eric Westmoreland, who was on the Volunteers’ 1998 national championship team and on the 2000 team that set the school record with 50 quarterback sacks.

“Coach Chavis never lets an offense dictate how the game’s going to be played to his defense,” Westmoreland said Monday. “If he has cornerbacks who can play man, he’s going to play man and blitz and pressure the quarterback from different places. That’s his trademark. He'll bring cornerbacks, safeties, linebackers. We all got sacks.”

“His No. 1 deal is if you’re going to try to sit back there and throw 25 or 30 times a game, your quarterback is going to get hit early and often,” former Tennessee quarterback Casey Clausen said Monday. “He’ll bring a whole lot of emotion and physical style to practice and into the games. He loves to get after the quarterback. I think he would be a great fit at LSU.”
