It is HISTORY..that was what got him fired at TN.


He was not fired by Tennessee. Fulmer was. If anything, his defense in 2008 (the year Fulmer was fired) was #3 in the nation int total yards allowed and #10 in points allowed.

That said, I think Chavis was a great DC, but just is declining now and is a little above average, especially with the fundamental shifts in how offenses are being run and his position coaching is a bit overrated.

Without freakish talent and very strongly coached DBs, his defenses suffer and he has huge issues coaching tied or with a lead in the closing minutes. Heck, multiple teams including Bama have said they knew exactly what to expect on their last minute drives from Chavis and that's why they succeeded.

Chavis is one hell of a coach when he has 4 or more NFL propects playing for him. But he hasnt changed since Tenn. So lets get him 5-6 All Americans on the team each yr and its all good from there.
