re: Official Reaction: Chavis is great, A&M got a good one, LSU in serious trouble.

Congrats on the grab. A&M will be legit now, no doubt.

Hopefully. Honestly, we're a school that is still in the process of throwing everything including the kitchen sink into becoming a stable cfb contender, not an also-ran every 8 years or so. Takes time and patience (which is a tall order this day and age) to get to the plane LSU and Bama and others have enjoyed recently, but if anything underscored our willingness to do it the right way, it was the SEC move. Our school is too football-crazy for us not to do everything we can to be relevant.

Chavis won't stop every drive like some delusional fans expect, but he will stabilize that defense and make you really competitive, which is all that A&M needs.

Yeah, we don't need him to bring back the Wrecking Crew. That's not even really possible in the modern era of cfb, and misses the point. We just need an average defense. One that doesn't force our offense to HAVE to score every drive in order to stay in ball games. Give our Manziel teams a middle of the road defense, and we likely win a natty in that stretch.

It's all about fit. Hopefully he'll be a good one for TAMU (assuming the deal gets finalized).

And y'all will get another good DC, of that I'm certain
