Chavis runs a soft cover Mustang defense. No better than what we have now.

Folks who are comparing schemes without regard to who is coaching them aren't very astute.
Pretty much every scheme commonly used in College and Pro football has been used with great success by some coaches and great failure by others.
The difference is primarily in the coach. A scheme is great but in the final analysis, it's just Xs and Os. Somebody still has to COACH it and then more importantly, decide which aspects of the scheme to use in given situations. Finally, they have to adjust said scheme to their varied opponents and their styles.
I'm not nearly as worried about what scheme comes to town as I am about how well a coach has managed to implement that scheme.

Yes, well said. It looks to me like a lot of people are looking on the Yahoo sports stats page and giving the DC's of top D's on that page. The thing is, I can click on a different column heading and get a different ranking. So by what stat is the bar set?
ETA: Like Cornholio said, "Their best DC is strictly their opinion." This applies to everyone on this board, minus a few who truly are in the know (I have no idea who those people are).

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'm going to go with wins and losses. Give me a winner!

I like that one better than most of what I've read. I just hope a good DC is the only key.

...right....and without regard to who is executing them...i.e. the players. LSU's talent base is likely stronger than UT's. Add each factor: scheme, coach, talent.

I am not really sold on Chavis as our possible DC, but if Coach O would come over as DL coach, that would be a great hire. Being LSU, we can offer at the higher end $ wise for assistants, & the benefits for the coaches is the high profile of being at LSU (at least, prior to this year).

I think UT would win a bidding war with LSU.

Ok i just read all 8 freakin pages of this thread, so now i have to chime in.
Hypotheticly, if we get O for the DL and Chavis for DC, would that combo be any better or worse than what we have now with the Malveto defense??
Im thinking it CANT be worse.

I really wish we could keep this thread strictly about whether he is actually getting the job and leave the issue of whether he is a good hire to the other 20 threads on that topic.
Staying on topic is a rarity aint it?

The former UT DC would be a HORRIBLE choice.......Les won't be coaching too much longer if he is hired.....we will continue to get torched

Just to make sure, this is the same guy that built the UT D that won in 1999 that was absolutely suffocating. This was also the guy who shut down Ro and reed and others in 2001 before mauck came in right? I have seen UT with some great D in the past if this is the same guy. If wwl is correct I would say he has a chance, he is a big name, is familiar with the sec, and obviously can recruit given they landed mayo, berry burnett, ect ect

Following the 2006 Season Chavis was named as the Assistant Football Coach of the Year by the American Football Coaches Association.
Yeah. . .terrible. How did our offense do against them last year?

That Coach Miles will interview the former Tenn. D. C. So that rumor a few days ago was true.
But, how does this factor with the recruits? Would that make him wise to hurry?
