Seems like everyone is giving our defense props (and deservedly so), but it seems like Chavis is the unsung hero in this whole thing. John Chavis is a bad mf'er.:tigereye:
And thank you, Tennessee, for firing Fulmer and essentially freeing up the Chief for Miles to swoop in and lock down.
Many are taking notice......... LSU's suffocating defense is the real thing - College Football Nation Blog - ESPN:tigereye:
I don't think Chavis or his staff are unsung heroes. Most LSU fans were thrilled to death with his hire and loved his D at Tennessee. His /Les's hires at DL and DB are also outstanding hires. I think this is close to what many expected with such a talented staff and an over flow of stud athletes. I do have one question though. What happened to all the third and Chavis talk from Tennessee fans? I think they got confused by the losses to outstanding Florida offenses and thought it was a failure on Chavis's part. It obviously wasn't.
I haven't seen any problems getting off the field on third and long this season. Tennessee fans were predicting doomsday like forecasts for third and longs. I hope he and his staff put down deep roots and stay forever.
Same here TT, we have a great staff, Joe Rob left last year to pad his resume, I can't blame him. Les has been able to keep some very good coaches, many really like working under him. :tigereye:
