While everyone hated Chavis' actions at the end of the season last year, do you think his decision to leave has been vindicated by our current meltdown? Not the underhanded way he did it, but the actual decision to bail and the criticisms of Les he offered.
If thats true, then we could easily call Chavis a class act for staying quiet. He obviously saw the writing on the wall and didn't run his mouth all that much after all.
Chavis left us with undersized everything in the front 7, no depth and mediocre recruiting in those areas. For all his faults as a coordinator, Steele is at least trying to fix that and it'll take several classes to do it. Chavis jumped ship because he helped punch a giant hole in the hull.
The problem that Chavis had is that if CLM was fired he wouldn't get paid. I actually think that Alleva knew that CLM was going to be done and set it up that way. Basically Chavis had no faith in CLM keeping his job.
Won't miss his meltdowns twice against Alabama on the last drives of both games. However, I have heard it discussed when he left, he was tired of carrying the offense with his defense. I think LM complete stubborness to "do what works now" has finally caught up with him. I saw it in New Orleans, several others did too, many "shot" us repeatedly, now not so much.
You think LSU is undersized, TCU due to unbelievable injuries has been playing a 198lb safety at LB all year.
