I don't know if his issues at Cal in year 3 were purely talent of if his scheme had finally been sorted out. I look at it in terms of Bo Pelini, had all the talent he wanted on D, but people finally figured out his scheme and began to take advantage of it.

He had the #1 defense in the Pac 10 2 years running but he wasn't able bring in the talent to sustain it?

Hey - in the end we may not get the perfect guy, CP may be the best available. If so, I'll support him 100%.

CP is a home run hire. I remember when we first got Chavis a lot of people thought his past few years at UT was what he would bring to LSU. LSU is not Cal who competed with 3 other big time programs in state. CP will be a good fit

Two schools, one school who hasn't been good for years back to back #1 defenses with crap players. The other school was on freaking sanctions and he took it to #1 in the PAC 13th in the country (ahead of LSU in a league with a HUGE variety of offensive schemes). The very next year with 8 of those starters back, the new guy runs it into the ground at 80th in the county.

Talent? WTF We aren't fricking Cal and Chavis didn't recruit worth a shite. Raymond, Haley, and Wilson brings in the talent.

I want you to tell me something? Why in all of Chavis' years, have we only had one 5 star or very highly rated LB recruit? I mean this guy is supposed to be the LB guru, (and our LB crew has been mediocre most of the time which is why we get more pressure when the secondary blitzes) yet his as can't convince top level guys to play in his system? Come on man!
