Chavis never coached them up. His UT defenses were very average year in and year out. ---- :loco: subjective & unsubstantiated
He gets one of the two best defensive units in the nation (both of which are in their own stratosphere) and he has the 2nd best defense. ---- :loco: speaking of stratosphere...where's your mind??
LSU winning the title won't make anybody with a lick of sense think higher of Chavis. ---- :loco: subjective
That said, Go LSU.[/QUOTE

You ARE joking, right? If not, you're certainly entitled to your opinion no matter how delusional.
Coach Chavis' defenses were consistently rated in the top tier (Top 3-4) of the SEC and in 2008, his last season as a Vol, 4th nationally.
"Chavis was named the recipient of the coveted American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year honor in 2006."
