it’s not hard to imagine that after watching his team finish unranked in 2014 despite fielding the no. 1 total defense in the nation’s most competitive conference, he’s calculating the impact that defense could make when paired with an offense that can actually be counted on to score some damn points.


By this logic, Cam would have left after 2013, when he fielded a record-breaking offense but still lost three games because Chavis' defense couldn't stop anybody.

A few of Chavis' choice accomplishments from 2012 through 2014, when he supposedly got pissed off because the offense wasn't holding up its end of the bargain:

-LSU lost while scoring 40 or more points in regulation for the first time in its history (Georgia 2013)

-LSU allowed its most points to Alabama (38) since 1925 (2013)

-LSU equaled its most points ever allowed to Auburn (41 in 2014)

-In six of its 11 losses in 2012 through 2014, LSU led or was tied in the final two minutes before Chavis' defense gave up the winning or tying score. In five of the six, it led or was tied in the final minute. In four of those five, it led or was tied in the final five seconds.

-One of those six losses in which Chavis' defense couldn't make a stop to preserve the win (Clemson 2012) was LSU's first loss to an ACC team (while it was in the ACC) since 1955.

If Chavis wants to pretend he's a championship coach that just couldn't get enough help from his offense, he won't fool anybody but a bunch of Aggies with that bullshite.

Pretty much sums it up. Of course with that prolific O that hung 21 on ULM and ZERO on Bama, aTm is setup to run the table next year
