Our defense was clearly confused lots of the time

yeah, especially chad jones. but he has looked confused under 2 different coordinators

just saying they were confused because of the teaching approach and scheme and in no way could be at fault for not learning what they were supposed to learn i think is a bit premature

That's not on the players my friend

how do you know?

there are NUMEROUS things you can attribute the players being confused to. bad coaching tecnnique and approach definitely has to take some of the blame, but the players have to shoulder blame as well

they need attitude and approach adjustments as well (mainly taylor and jones)

Potential is one thing as you have stated, but without coaching and proper development it will never fully blossom

really good players are still really good even with bad coaching, good coaching makes them great

I'm not saying that Chavis is Buddy Ryan, but our defense will be much improved next year.

when considering SEC standings, we have only 1 way to go

and if the offense improves, it should benefit the defense as well, but thinking that chavis = automatic defense improvement is a bit too early

LSU's D in 2008 was a typical chavis defense, 08 in Knoxville was the exception to the chavis rule, not the norm
