This is by far the least talent he has had at LSU. Could be one of the least talented defenses he has ever had as a DC in the SEC.



False. I don't know why people keep saying this defense is not talented. Just about every single one of those guys on this defense were pretty highly touted coming out of high school. Loston,White,Roinson,Freak,Barrow,Kwon,Ego,Martin,Hunter,Allen,Rasco all had alot of offers and alot of talent coming into college. I've seen alot of other D coordinators doing more with less.I like Chavis he is a great coach but he needs some of the blame too!

It's not the players its the scheme!

We hardly blitz, and when we do its the same shite. Its a nickel back off the edge or a safety. There is no creativity to what we do on defense.

Often the blitzes are shown way to early, aren't disguised, and are picked up very very easily.

The tackling is atrocious. That's fundamentals and discipline.

In our last four losses we have had the lead or been tied with two minutes left in the game. This problem goes back to last year so to me it's not simply a talent issue. It should be obvious opposing teams have picked up on something that we do schematically and have come up with a way to scheme around it. Not saying he should be on the hot seat but if the defense keeps blowing these leads he will eventually find his way there.

Chavis needs to change his scheme to fit his players. He is being stubborn. Ole Miss was missing 8 players by the end of the game but their D coordinator still found a way to scheme to beat us.

I will disagree with you. That collective list may have been highly regarded prior to college, but it is in no way comparable to the talent level in 09-12. Youre also using 2 true freshmen as an argument.
