Chavis' apparent principle- while the blitz and tight man coverage can control or limit the opponent, sooner or later it is bound to fail. So while he may use that attack for most of a game, he backs out into a soft zone late, and hopes to ride it out. If you can convert 3rd and 9, fine; it will be for a 1st down, and not a long TD.

In other words, he's not a "live by the sword, die by the sword" type of guy.


Sounds like he would be a good fit for our offense and style of play (basketball in cleats). Do you agree?

He's a good coach; I don't know how good a fit he is. Hard to say how it will work. It might work out very well.

You will need to recruit "his" players, which translates to smaller, faster linemen and linebackers. When he came here, we downsized both areas. You will need a surplus of backs, and require a major force at MLB, or else you'll get run over. And while we get those guys at LSU a lot, Chavis was coaching them, but not the guy recruiting them, so there's that.

2 theories here- your offense might buy him the room to avoid facing "3rd and Chavis"; or it might encourage him to play a lot softer for the whole game.
Good luck (except against us, of course!)
