The Chief's defense was under tremendous pressure each and every game in the SEC. Last year (2014) was probably the straw that broke the camel's back. Miles philosophy to play great defense and so-so offense w a below-average QB to win championships is a thing of the past. LSU gets their offensive shite together and they will compete for championships again. I see clearly now why Chavis left LSU. AtM's offensive philosophy is a bit different w Sumlin..... We'll see how this plays out. Sure hope Chavis leaving wakes up Miles and staff on the offensive side of the football.

Offense lost games. Defense lost games.

Well when we had mett, landry, beckham, and hill raping on offense he still found a way to frick it up late in games. I was at the Alabama game. That was atrocious.

Miles philosophy to play great defense and so-so offense


Don't worry, I spoke to Coach. He has changed his mind and his new philosophy is to play great defense and GREAT offense. So, we should be good.

He thought game-planning for a so-so offense wasn't effective And decided he wanted it great.

Weren't we Top 10 in the nation in TOP? Not to mention, every play in college football all 22 players that are on the field are under tremendous amounts of pressure.

LSU defense needed a shot in the arm. Opposing coaches knew to just hang close and they would have a chance to win in the end.

Last season LSU had 7 games decided by 10 points or less

Last season Texas A&M had 6 games decided by 10 points or less

Let's put this bullshite to bed. A&M scored fewer points than us against Bama, and similar numbers against mississippi state (the score was 17-48 until they piled on a few points at the end) and ole miss (the score was 35-14 until a last second worthless TD) , and they only scored 21 against the mighty ULM warhawks. A&M performed better than us against auburn and arkansas, but I think everyone can agree that they were both vastly different teams at the time we played them (auburn regressed throughout the season and arkansas progressed).

Chavis is more than likely going to feel more pressure without our offense having a great TOP and giving his defense long rests between series. And even if that's not the case, the guy gets paid 1.5 million dollars a year to coach a game, it's his job to win the close ones and he shouldn't be complaining about that. I'm sure every defensive coordinator would like to be in a situation where the offense puts up 500 PPG but not wanting to feel pressure or do your job is called laziness in most professions, just throwing that out there

If that was the real reason he left then ok, leave in a dignified manner. Bow out and quit.

Just dont pull the sly douchebag bull crap he pulled. Please, if he didnt want to be at LSU he should have just left. What a slimy move by Chavis.

Ironically, when we shut down the offense, and ramped up our Time of possession the defense did better.

If you think a demand for top notch defense is a reason for DC to jump ship then what the hell are we paying a DC for? We demand excellence. If A&M want half arse for $1.8million then let them pay for mediocrity.

And remember, this BS mickey mouse offense get shut down. They don't just lose games because of their defense they got shot out against Bama.

It is stupid to even discuss because Chavis left because of money - that is guaranteed money. He was getting paid to be a defense of Cordinator which will always be the foundation of LSU football. The argument he is making will be no different with the Aggies because their offense will put him in bad situations as well. Good riddance!

Just freaking coach the D. All this crying about pressure. He was the top paid assistant. If you don't like it get a head coaching gig.
