re: Does Chavis need a ball control offense, with elite Time of Possession?

It's not a must for his defense to work. The point is that any defense can work with LSU's clock eating offense last season, and it kept the facade that LSU's defense has been in a steady decline the last few seasons.


-tons of blown leads in even just the past two seasons
-why is the linebacker unit LSU's most glaring weakness on defense, and always has been under Chavis? I really thought we were going to take that next step recently, but Lamar Louis and Debo are exceptional athletes that haven't gotten any better
-Brick Haley flat out was suffocating our defense. we haven't even had a good pass rush in 4 years. It would have been nice for Chavis to put down the potato salad and come to terms his bud isn't getting it done



You can quit trying to convince us Chavis is good. Everyone knows he's good, but I'm happy LSU didn't cave and offer 1.6. LSU was on a steady decline with talent, and there was no end in sight. Steele may end up a huge failure, but that won't stop me from thinking a change might have been the best if Brick Haley was going to stay


eta: tl;dr LSU's talent on defense has been on a steep decline, and I would have liked Chavis to have Brick terminated after 2013
