Constantly taking three star athletes and having them become 1st round draft choices clearly its Chavis
About one third of the first round draft choices were three star athletes. Off the top of my head, the only one I can name was Mo (I'm sure there were others I just can't think of them). And Mo was simply underrated. The guy was an unbelievable athlete. No one "developed" that. Mo could have gone to Southern and still had a great NFL career. The reason Bama and LSU have been dominating college football is because we're getting the best talent. Year after year we both have top five recruiting classes (in reality, not according to the services). Sure we develop talent, so does everyone. But that just maintains the gap that was created on national signing day.

That's stupid. Coach Cooper is one of the best secondary coaches out there and develops players to their potential. Yes Mo was a great athlete, but far from polished. You don't just stick athletes out on the field and they win. Look at Texas now. A team full of athletes with no development. Somebody has to teach CBs when to look for the ball, when to break, what a route tree is, how to play zone, how to use their hands to disrupt a route, how to attack the ball at its highest point and things like that.
The better examples are players like Brandon Taylor, Perry Riley, Minter, Brockers, Kelvin Sheppard and Tharold Simon. Kids that Chavis, the position coaches and Moffit got the most out of.
