He was never a great D coordinator, he just always had top tier talent while at LSU. Him at Arkansas right now shows his true colors.

I read somewhere that he has a one year contract. if true, he is only a stop gap and all concerned know that. he's just collecting a few hundred thou before going back to east Tennessee.

i'll bet the university provides him with a decent apartment and he eats out every meal. the guy can eat

F! that m'fer. He was wearing Aggie colors before the day was over after we lost the bowl game. I hope he has a mild case of diarrhea for the rest of his life. F! that m'fer.

While I'm upset he screwed LSU over and stabbed us in the back, I will at least give the guy credit for turning the defense around and it peaking in 2011. His main problem outside of his lack of integrity and loyalty is his inability/refusal to recruit. The DB coach we had back then was no slouch too. Just can't remember his name..

Ron Cooper. he's been with Chavis at A&M (I think he got there in Chief's 2nd or 3rd year), and he's with him at Arky now.

he's probably a worse recruiter than Chavis.

He was very lazy when it came to recruiting, evidently. I'm so glad he chose to leave. Aranda is light years ahead of him when it comes to defensive schemes and in-game adjustments.

Chavis is an LSU legend.

You have forgotten what Chavis did in his 6 yrs here to prop up Miles' lack of Offense. 1st he took a unit that was ranked 60th in 2008 and turned them in to the 11th ranked D in the FBS with his scheme.

The players loved him and he produced a slew of NFL draftees. Mingo said after meeting Chavis he would not play for anyone else. You underestimate his ability to attract recruits.

His 6 seasons were (2009) 11th, 11th, 2nd, 12th, 21st, 4th (2014)...golden yrs for TOs and Defensive Scores.

He was the foil to the spread Offense with his Mustang D.

In the 2014 ALA game that was tied 10-10 Chief held ALA to zero pts and one 1st down in the second half. The D forced Yeldon to fumble on the 6 with under 2 minutes to go. Beckwith recovered. Vadal Alexander then commits an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on 1st down and it backs the ball up to the 21. Jennings was floundering 8 of 26 for 76 yds and 1 INT. So LSU went nowhere and kicked a FG with 50 secs left to go up 13-10. Then Domingue shanks the KO out of bounds, giving ALA a short field. Sims was having his worst career night. On 2 3rd-and-4's, Sims managed to escape the grasp of Jalen Mills' blitz. A 22 yd pass to Christion Jones looked trapped but the Tide ran HUNH before it could be reviewed. They tied on a FG and won on the "Fat Guy" play in OT.

Aranda may prove to be equally great but he has not been better.

Chavis has regressed and should retire, but he has produced some awesome defenses in his career.

Exactly.
Chavis has a pretty serious trophy case if the cynics would bother to research.

Yeah, he never coached anywhere else and won championships, smdh.
I'm not knighting for him, but you guys need CFB schooling.

do not see him at TN,

he was the main reason Fulmer was fired, as his "read/react", 3rd and Chavis or whatever you call it, would always lose to FL.due to play calling.
