Dang, this sucks. Really wish we could have gotten that young, fiery coach from Northeast Technical State instead of this old guy. Just feels like we settled... I mean, he's only coached in two national championship games as a coordinator. We're better than that.

Do you think he meshes well with Morris' offense?

Not the name many wanted to hear but nowhere near a bad hire. I'm willing to see what they can produce.

cool. good hire. one of best DCs in country.
Will see if styles mesh or go well together. defense will improve at least

Lol because Chavis paired with an up tempo spread worked so well at Texas A&M

This is what has me wondering about the hire

Hopefully this is one of those situations where he thinks he knows what went wrong and wants to redeem himself.
Not much we can do about it as fans. I am kind of underwhelmed, but then I remind myself that on paper this is the best DC we have had up there in years.

If he drags some of those unsigned Aggie commits up to the Hill and I'll be fine.

Knows how to build an SEC defense, something Morris really needs. Chavis is a great evaluator of defensive talent as well, we can't afford to make many misses in recruiting.

I'm whelmed by the hire. Not overwhelemed, not underwhelmed, just sort of whelmed.
On the plus side if he lands us in the 60's in team defense it would be a vast improvement over what we've had for the last few years.

I mean it’s not like it was a complete failure considering the offensive system it was paired with. Their total and scoring defense rankings both improved under him.
Total Defense pre-Chavis:
2012 - 9
2013 - 14
2014 - 14
w/ Chavis:
2015 - 8
2016 - 10
2017 - 8
Scoring defense pre-Chavis:
2012 - 7
2013 - 14
2014 - 12
w/ Chavis
2015 - 7
2016 - 7
2017 - 9
I think most of us would be pretty stoked if we had a middle of the pack defense year in and year out. If Morris can truly make this a top tier offense every year then we would be fine with Chavis at DC imo.
Fans will also get the attacking defense they’ve been craving for years which is a plus. A&M has essentially been top two in sacks and TFL all three years Chavis was there. Maybe it’s just me but it would be great to see actual penetration from the line again.

That's my initial thought but it'd be tough to not improve on the last 2 years.

Just place a good staff around him and we’ll be fine. It’s going to be hard not to be an improvement.

Are you going to change your handle?

A&M's offense wasn't that great when Chavis was there. They had tons of quick three and outs.

This is what we will need. Not excited about the hire but I think it will work fine assuming that Morris can have a top notch offense here. If our offense just ends up being average we will be in deep trouble but that was most likely the case either way.
