    even when he was HC (before he quit recruiting)

    I like Archer, he was a good guy and really did bleed purple and gold. His press conference when he was fired still to this day causes me pain, he really loved LSU. However I don't think he is the answer at DC.

    me either, but if we're just going to throw stuff out there...

    But that was Arnsparger's Defense, because he ran it at Miami.

    Interesting take on how 52-year-old Chavis got fired by 33-year-old Kiffin:

    On a Sunday afternoon after Tennessee ’s last game, Kiffin called in each of Fulmer’s assistants. In less than two minutes, he told 20-year assistant John Chavis he was gone. Kiffin did the same to long-time assistants Steve Caldwell, Dan Brooks and Larry Slade. Kiffin told four of the five offensive assistants they would be retained for the immediate future.

    So Kiffin fired Chavis before he was named head coach at Tennessee?
  7. Re: DC Watch: John Chavis

    probably already named the coach, just hadn'et announced it at the presser yet.
  8. Re: DC Watch: John Chavis

    Isn't he DC at Kentucky right now? I think they had a pretty good defense this year, considering their talent pool.

    DC @ nc st under o'brien. i guess that was when they ran off amato and the white mickey mouse glasses.
