ESPN:How John Chavis helped turn the Aggies into a playoff contender

ESPN says Chavis is a Defensive Mastermind
quote:
In a world where coaches chase jobs the way most neighborhood dogs chase the ice cream truck, Chavis is the refreshing exception. He has been the quintessential grinder, coaching at just three schools since he returned to his alma mater, Tennessee, in 1989 as a defensive line coach.
It's not like he hasn't had chances to move around, either. He has turned down job interviews for head coaching gigs as well NFL opportunities in the past. And, had it not been for his distrust of the LSU administration and his suspicion that Les Miles would eventually be forced out, Chavis probably never would have left LSU.
"Coach Miles is a good man and good coach. He was never the reason I left there," Chavis said.
So here he is at Texas A&M, a year and a half into one of his greatest challenges yet -- of resurrecting an Aggie defense that was beaten down, beaten up and floundering near the bottom of the SEC in most defensive categories when Chavis arrived prior to the 2015 season.

"They are tied for second nationally in forced turnovers (17), third in tackles for loss (58), fourth in red zone defense (11 touchdowns in 26 red zone attempts), 13th in sacks (20), 22nd in scoring defense (19.2 points per game) and 28th in third-down defense (.340)."
Yeah we give up yards, but we don't give up points easily.

I know the rant is about 90% trolling. But put trolling aside. This is about recognizing greatness. It's remarkable what Chavis has done. We were beyond terrible when he got here. Yes, we're still giving up too many yards. But we're tough, we don't give up many points, we get about a million tackles for loss, and we force turnovers.
The man is a genius.

2625 total yards allowed in only 6 games so far and tied with UTEP for 98th Defense in the nation.
Also the Great Chavis broke the single game record for most yards given up in a game in A&M history 684
Hail to The Chief

There are telltale signs Chavis has Texas A&M's defense on the right track despite the Aggies giving up 684 yards, the most in school history, two weeks ago to Tennessee in a 45-38 double-overtime win.

You think Chavis follows Les to his next coaching job? They are BFFs

good for y'all
No denying he is a good coach, he certainly has his flaws and his schemes can get frustrating at times, but no doubt he is an upgrade for 90% of cfb teams out there

468 yards vs. UCLA
399 yards vs. Aub
491 yards vs Arky
378 yards vs SC
684 yards vs Tenn
Avg of 484 yards given up against P5 teams. Bama will likely go over 500 moving your average closer to 500. Congrats on being happy with a 500 yard per game defense.

This thread is drowning in LSU tears

I like Chief. Hes been a great coach at three big universities. I dont get why anyone would say otherwise. The man made a career decision. People shouldnt take things so personal.
That said I also like Aranda and am eager to see what he does in November.

You're on a good run right now, but after his D gives up a game winning drive for the 10th time I look forward to your melt.
