Oh man. This. It's like when someone tries to use a fancy word and they mispronounce it.

Down in the root of it there's a pretty clever joke, but when an LSU fans uses "Aggys" it's clear they have no idea.

Gig em cas4t.

Now that you're here, tell us how pissed you were when Chavis left LSU.

There's definitely been an inordinate amount of A&M alters since January. That's not coincidence.

Its not just about 1 game though. Look at the points allowed and points allowed per play for Steele then again for Chavis those same years and Chavis avg is lower by 4.9 ppg & .0435 ppp. That is a pretty significant # to recover from.

I just don't think we will see this huge drop of as so many of yall think.

I don't really think any A&M fans expect a huge drop off, like going from the best defense in the SEC to the sixth or something. I think the theory is instead that LSU's offense is SO pathetic that it doesn't allow for a margin of error, and dropping to say the third best defense in the SEC could result in 5 plus losses.

To be fair, what LSU fans TELL us about Chavis supports that theory. We don't hear how he is a shitty DC overall, or how someone like Nick Saban fired him from the position (the worst mark against Steele IMHO). Instead we hear how in all these edge cases- third and long, fourth quarter with a slight lead, etc.- Chavis will blow a game. Implied in that is a frank statement that LSU fans don't trust their offense to win games, and unless the defensive coordinator hits perfection there is too large of a margin for LSU to still lose thanks to crappy QB play.

I mean, I know yall don't mean to imply that but when every discussion is about edge cases you have to wonder what is the problem the rest of the time, aka when its non edge cases. Anyone who barely follows college football knows that LSU was a problem putting out a consistent offense, so A plus B equals C.

That is also why we don't take the warnings seriously. We have had a shitty defense for years RIGHT UP THE MIDDLE. frick edge cases, we couldn't stop a run when the blindest person in the stadium knew it was going to happen. Or we could stop a huge blown coverage in the secondary even when the QB playing us was medicore. We will happily take a guy whose weakness is in the fringes, because we feel our offense gives us the needed margin of error as long as our defense is fundamentally good.

Thats all.

Look, Chavis is a better DC. No doubt about it. I wasn't too happy with the hire initially, and obviously the jury is still out. But you have to take into account the players being worked with as well. I mean, LSU has recruited at a very high level for Chavis' entire tenure at LSU. Clemson is an ACC school. But nitpicking ppg and ppp is pretty ridiculous. There are way too many other factors that go into DC's success.

You think Kirby Smart would have the same success at Clemson as he is Alabama? Of course not. And Chavis wouldn't have the same success at Clemson as he did at LSU. It's just different and to try to compare the 2 before even seeing how Steele/Chavis play out over a 3-5 year period is unfair.

But again, I know Chavis is a better DC. Just saying to assume anything at this point is wishful thinking at best. IMO.

I was going to type something similar.

You are right, Steele has never had the talent he now has at LSU. Time will tell.
