Here's another common misnomer that gets thrown around in regard to Chavis and the 2011 BCSNC Game. No one is going to come to the defense of the worst offensive performance I have ever witnessed.

HOWEVER, go back and watch the first quarter of that game. Chavis is full of shite. Alabama ran roughshod over his shell shocked D in between the 20s ALL NIGHT. He looked just as bad as the offensive staff in that first half. The D just managed to stem the bleeding by holding up in the red zone and forcing FGs.

He made the same mistake as the rest of the staff. Chavis went into that game expecting a repeat of the first matchup. Obviously Bama had other plans.

He does come out the other side looking a hell of a lot better than Miles and Studs, considering the D kept us in life support until the 4 quarter. However, he shouldn't get a complete pass for the first pass. Fatigue didn't have anything to do with that. He just plain got out coached by Jim McElwain.

As for last year, he again, gets a pass for a young defense. He earned that pass with good to great performances before and after, but it still looks bad that he took his ball and left after the O kept him afloat just one year ago.


I'm convinced you have some type of personal issue with the guy now. Bama was scoring in the 40's and 50's with regularity that season. Holding them to 21 is a good game. It's literally making my brain hurt to see what kind of standard you are holding them to.

so, what this article would have you believe, is that Chavis pursued a job at South Carolina and NO ONE COVERING EITHER SCHOOL KNEW ABOUT IT, South Carolina chose NOT to hire him, LSU allowed Chavis to coach the bowl game knowing that Chavis future at LSU was HIGHLY SUSPECT, and that A&M paid Chavis nearly $400k more than he was making AFTER Chavis approached THEM for a job, just for shits & giggs.

that makes literally zero fricking sense and is a way for Chavis to deflect blame for his unseemly departure back at Miles.

His game in Tuscaloosa was a masterpiece. One of the best defensive performances I have seen in my life. If you want to say he didn't get outcoached in the second meeting like the rest of the staff, go ahead. But he did.

He and the defense were better than the offense that night, but I just hate seeing how amazing he was in that game getting tossed around in the NOLA article as an excuse to leave. His blood got spilled that night, too.

As for you, you seem very concerned with running to his message board defense. He should start paying you by the word.

It's a rough life being a coach at LSU.
