If Chavis is going to make a difference I think you will see it almost immediately. His strength is not recruiting, it's scheme.

I 100% disagree.

The problem with the A&M defense isn't talent (we play below our talent level) or the offense. Heck it wasn't even scheme, Snyder had decent schemes.

The issue was attitude, and a sense of toughness. Queue that gif of us getting run over, but the fact is that our defense hasn't had an attitude in a decade.

I don't know if Chavis brings that, but I do know that if he did it won't get across in just a year. Sumlin has not fostered an environment for an elite defensive attitude to survive, so Chavis will have to find a way to build his defense within the confines of what we have.
