1. A team who has a starting QB that is a list cause.

2. A backup who who for whatever reason can't beat out the worst LSU starting QB decades.

3. A barely three star incoming freshman QB but let's face it, the kid could be the reincarnation of Manning and Les wouldn't start him over a junior AJ.

4. This means that bottom line is that we are very likely to be looking at two more years of AJ.

Chavis is in as good a position as anyone to know just how bad AJ is.

People don't negotiate hard for clauses in their contract they don't think will matter. Chavis has a better line than any this board regarding what to expect from LSU offensively.

You can argue all you want but you can't deny that is at least possible the dude may well be concerned that the next two years are going to be rough and wanted protection.

I think this has nothing to do with it.

It's money. And, he saw it as a sign of disrespect when LSU didn't up his offer.

This guy has been in coaching for years.

Are you telling me he is scared?

In think he wants out from under miles and is using this clause as a cop out. Can't see it being that big of a deal breaker on its own seeing as how it's pretty standard for any Assistant

That offense that held onto the ball for 38-40 minutes a game sure did make it tough on him.

LSU will return most of this defense...potentially 10 starters, but more likely 8 or 9. He's going to need to build great depth at A&M to keep the defense productive with that air raid style offense. Aggies will have better pass rush, but they'll be far worse everywhere else.

Sumlin has had a hard on for Chavis since they first played LSU. LSU's 3 best defensive performances the past 3 years may have all come against the aggies.

If Im Chavis I cant possibly think that I can succeed the same at A&M as I did at LSU. If Im Chavis I know that my style of defense REQUIRES my team's offense to give my guy a breather. At LSU the 3 and outs hurt him but LSU did run clock with its running game. At A&M their style of offense is 10x worse.

IF... and that's a big IF, there was a choaching shake up, do you really think Chavis would be worried about getting another job? Probably not. More than likely there is some kind of internal shite show that he wants out of. A&M may be better may be worse, but he saw it as a better situation.
