Doesn't want it. He loves being the DC at LSU and will probably retire in P&G.
He would've retired from Tennessee if he hadn't been run off campus.

You just posted that Ole Miss is going to have the best defense in 2014, and you are questioning whether this statement was serious.

No idea. I was told to stop RAing here, so I'll spend less time on SECR.

I was clearly joking. Those threads are so stupid. Everyone just names their team, I just like to say Ole Miss in every thread and leave it.
Now, to Chavis, he was torched by Ole Miss two years in a row...he hasn't mastered defending the spread

You've clearly missed him playing Oregon and Texas a&m in recent years then.

He lost to Ole Miss once. Sad story. Tell A&M, Oregon, West Virginia, etc. that he doesn't employ an effective scheme for disrupting a spread offense.

Yes, I know. That is my point. Just because someone doesn't like the limelight doesnt mean they don't want to be a head coach

Yeah, that was a good read. It does a good job explaining how much Chavis relies on his defensive ends and corners.

Relative to everyone else in college football, Chavis has done a better job than practically everyone at stopping the spread.

For several years, the SEC had a reputation as a conference whose defenses could squash any offense in the nation. The spread offense air raiders might come and pillage other conferences, but in the Southeastern lands, old-school offensive tactics were walled in.
Then Urban Meyer and Tim Tebow unleashed a 29-6 league record over four years, and the narrative began to evolve. The spread-option took hold in schools in Mississippi and Alabama.
In a move similar to that of a collapsing empire, the SEC expanded and welcomed the barbarians inside the walls, adding the wide-open Big 12's Texas A&M and Missouri. With a new air raid coach and the instant legend of Johnny Football, the Aggies pillaged defenses and shattered the mythos of SEC invulnerability. In a 2013 season in which high-scoring slugfests became the norm, three different SEC programs with "spread" offenses ranked in the top 20 nationally: A&M (4th), Auburn (6th), and Missouri (19th).
However, while programs like Alabama have seen their invincible defensive reputations take hits (the Tide surrendered 1,046 yards in just two games against Texas A&M), one program has maintained a defense that's sheltered the league from being totally taken over by the spread: the LSU Tigers.
Included in the Bayou Bengals' resume of smashing spread teams are handling Chip Kelly's Oregon, air raid West Virginia, and Bobby Petrino's "pro-spread" Arkansas. They forced the two worst games of Manziel's college career. They've yielded an overall conspicuous lack of games in which spread offenses lit up the scoreboard.
More often than not, John Chavis' Tiger defenses have won the day against some of college football's most modernized offenses. It's all about structure.
But if we define the power-conference spread offenses LSU has faced over the last six years as Gus Malzahn's Auburn, Mississippi State, Hugh Freeze's Ole Miss, Oregon, Dana Holgorsen's West Virginia, Petrino's Arkansas, Texas A&M, TCU, and Clemson, then we can figure the Tigers have given up an average of about 20 points against some of the country's highest-octane offenses. While the Rebels had the Tigers' number last year and some have put up meaningless yardage in LSU wins, the track record is secure.
So what are the secrets to defensive coordinator John Chavis' approach? How is it that LSU consistently outperforms other big-time programs with defensive reputations in stopping these offenses? The answer has multiple layers:

Something to be said for finding a way to do what you love while staying just under the radar. Chavis has it figured out. Let the boss man take the heat.

Oregon is greatly overrated. Been proven, will continue to be proven. Y'all did shut A&M down, but still...Ole Miss. Where's the explanation behind that?
463 yards in Year 1 and then 525 yards in Year 2?
Eeeeeeeeeek. That's not good. And not mastering the spread when the number increases from 460 yards to 525 the next season. Spin how you want, but that is glaring.

People put too much value in yardage.

No coach has mastered anything. Chavis is still the best against the spread.
