how long do you think fulmer can keep him before he gets his own coaching job? he would make a great head coach, but lets keep that on the downlow

I don't think Chavis will go anywhere for a long time.....Until he gets our secondary fixed, which I see happening this year, he will have to work harder to become a head coach....He'd make a good one but he needs to get some problems with our Defense fixed before I would put him out there as a canidate for another school's head coaching job

He's been at UT how long now? How many offers has he had? I think he is surprisingly overlooked as a potential HC. OTOH he says he is quite happy doing what he's doing, so I guess I'll not look a gift horse in the mouth.

Chavis will be our DC as long as CPF will have him around. Great with x's & o's, but I question his ability to adjust during the game, and the fact that we do way too much arm tackling.

oh yeah i know what you mean. but i think that might be fixed this year.

I think Chavis knows how to adjust at the half but I don't think our players are that great at making adjustments...Chavis is a good coach and will be there like you said, as long as CPF will have him....I'm looking forward to seeing our Defense this year...I think this is the year we have one of the best D's we've ever had...We got the talent we just have to show it

He has alredy turned down a few "mid-major" jobs. He will get one and a good one. Unfortunately, RS is not in the same boat.

I think Chavis is one of the best head coaching candidates out there. He consistently turns out top draft picks and does pretty well with what he has. Loyalty and stability in the coaching staff do wonders for a team on signing day. We are lucky to have a DC like him. IMO, he needs a raise.
While they're at it, Trooper Taylor should get a very healthy raise. Texas has already offered him "quite a bit more", and he stayed. From what I've seen and heard about him, he deserves it if you go by what effect he's had on the team. He has really infused a much-needed burst of enthusiasm into this team.

for my two cents he does a fair job, but I think his weakness is he totally overlooks fundamentals. Id just about bet the Vols gave up more yards after 1st contact than any other sec team...at times the tackling looked like a high school double A team. :twocents:

I can't figure out if that is Chavis' fault. I saw a lot of our defensive players trying to go for the INT or the strip instead of making solid tackles. I guess that you could pin that on Chavis. I think that Jason Allen needs to be in charge of the tackle drills or maybe Mahelona could teach his patented ankle snatch move he has.

Unless he gets an offer at a BCS school, why would he leave ?

I think to be good as a head coach, Chavis will need an excellent OC to accompany him as a sort of co-head coach.

I think so too, but it would be tough to leave a program like UT for a mid-major. When you get used to high end talent , it hard to step back even if you are the top dog.

But that is probably also the best road to a high-profile head-coaching job. You have to be a hell of an assistant coach on an absolutely dominating team to get offered HC jobs straight out of an assistant position, ie The attention that Norm Chow is getting.

Chow has three QB heismans under his belt and no big-time BCS shcool is willing to pick him up as a head coach.

Perhaps you could tell me of an opening in a big-time BCS school?

Didn't think so.

I meant an at-least mediocre team in a BCS conference.

he wont be gone this year unless he takes an oc job in the nfl to get alot more money. besides that the pac 10 is going to be in toruble again.

The Pac-10 could go either way. I think USC, Arizona State and Oregon will finish ranked. Oregon State and Cal have a fair shot at finishing ranked as well.

LSU is the only one of those three, I will give you them.

Florida was salivating over Spurrier and Meyer since they canned the Zooker, and Notre Dame's boosters are the toughest in the country. They will take nothing less than an absolutely stellar coach -- They SETTLED for an OC from the NFL.
