LSU coach Les Miles offered former defensive coordinator John Chavis a three-year contract worth a total of $5.4 million the night of the Tigers’ Music City Bowl loss to Notre Dame, according to documents Chavis filed in a lawsuit against his former employer.

Chavis refused the $1.8-million-a-year offer during a meeting with Miles and Miles’ lawyer in the team’s hotel in Nashville, Tennessee. Chavis had decided weeks beforehand not to return to LSU because of a contract dispute involving a clause in his contract, and Miles knew Chavis was leaving his staff in the weeks leading to the bowl game, documents say.

In fact, Texas A&M mailed a letter of intent for its defensive coordinator job to Chavis three days before the Tigers and the Irish dueled in the bowl game – one in which Chavis coached.


to hell with him

I'm glad his arse is gone but there's no need to get pissy with the messenger. It's a recent update regarding LSU, if you don't give a shite, don't open the thread.

This is great recruiting fodder for any D players who happen to be on the fence. Why would they want to play for a DC that would not only leave them, but frick them over in a game too?

I have a hard time caring about this much one way or the other.

Chavis did some good stuff at LSU but I think his time had run. Whether it will end up being an upgrade, a downgrade or a push remains to be seen. But I don't really miss him as DC.
