re: So... is it close to being offical yet... Chavis...

I've given this some more thought since last night.

I think it could be a good thing for a couple reasons.

1) Morris and Sumlin run different offenses. Sumlin is a run and gun / air raid guy while Morris seems to be more of a uptempo wishbone guy. Being uptempo doesn't necessarily mean quick strike. If Morris can produce 8 - 10 play drives Chavis' numbers will improve over what he had at A&M.

2) and maybe more importantly... How much of A&M's problems under Sumlin were cultural? See the pimp stick fiasco. See Johnny Manziel. See persistent rumors of head coach being a staggering drunk. Point is, Chavis may have been hamstrung by a number of things.

Let's hope he is able to get us closer to where he was at LSU than at Aggy.

ETA: The most important thing going forward for this team, no matter who the defensive coordinator is, is that the offense doesn't turn the ball over. The entire scheme' success, or lack thereof, is predicated on taking care of the ball.

If the defense can create turnovers, it will be huge.
