Why David Reeves should be the next DC

I get the love fest for Marcus Freeman, but I personally feel/felt that LSU should be going after David Reeves at UAB. He checks a lot of boxes.
1) Ed O’s preferred attacking style? UAB has 92 sacks and 217 Tackles for loss in last two seasons.
2) coaching young defense? UAB lost 8 starters in 2019 and still finished top 10 in the NCAA in total defense.
3) Third-and-Chavis & Third-and-Aranda are popular around here... UAB was top-10 in 3rd down defense in 2018 and 2019
Bottom line: this guy is a two-time Broyles award finalist and has had some nasty, disruptive defenses. He’s also a defensive line guy. I think he’s the one.
What you say?

WTF? UAB’s DC? I think we can aim higher.

Clark, the head coach at UAB, is a great defensive coach. My concern is how much input and influence Clark has on David Reeves's success.

He's 51. That's a bit too old for this board. They want 35 with 20 years experience.

Reeves is the best candidate out there that I think would actually come. Many of the others we are looking at have already turned down good offers.

This is my thing. If you look at UAB defenses over recent years they are all top 20. He’s proven he’s not a “one hit wonder”. As I see it, he’s the least risky hire. Also, don’t understand the “not a power 5 coordinator” argument. He’s coaching talent on par with the rest of his league. He would have a talent advantage at LSU over almost every SEC school.

Reeves would be outstanding. Go get him.

I think he would be a great get!
