Texas A&M hiring John Chavis as DC

[Saggy Aggie]

Bleacher report says so....

Daylon mack already scheduling a new visit to A&M and canceling lsu visit?

[Rabid Cougar]

Also 4 Star DT commit to Alabama wavering.

Definition of splash hire. This is a homerun for Texas A&M and kudos goes to Coach Sumlin and our administration for keeping this thing under wraps for so long. Under no circumstances did I think John Chavis would be our DC one month ago - I wouldn't have even guessed he was on the list of potential candidates. One of the few times I can remember that a name out of left field being a good thing.

This move shows A&M commitment to succeeding on the football field.

Is he a high school coach? Never heard of him. He replacing Coach Richardson that had issues in last game?

Hopefully Mack see's what he can have next several years by going to TCU, National Championship's. I do agree, LSU out of mix with Chavis departing Baton Rouge.

Is A&M not in the mix?

Of course they are, again. I think this is where Chavis went to from LSU wasn't it? I hear he has a re-schedule visit for the 23rd already at A&M.

I can only think this is what has our resident LSU fans so chippy. (This and LSU's bowl loss to ND)

Great pickup for the Ags.

Sorry to see Aggie RB Trey Williams opt for the NFL draft. I think he has the talent, and he's relatively fresh, (meaning un injured). He could make an impact somewhere, given the chance.

Trey Williams won't get drafted.

Trey Williams won't get drafted.

I think he will, but it will be late in the draft. If he doesn't, he might end up being one of those guys pulled out of Home Depot on a need, and make a big splash.

There's always someone who is willing to spend more money and this is a perfect example. I don't blame him for leaving for money, but he'll regret it. His defensive scheme is built over TOP by the offense, something that A&M will never succeed at while Sumlin is the coach. LSU will be fine, if A&M is really happy about that performance the Chavis D put up in the bowl game then you guys are excited about nothing. LSU's defense's are ultimately always top 5 because of the players, not the coach.

Well, pretty sure chavis can't do any worse than Snyder.

Also, the addition of chavis helps with the whole getting good players thing...

Since we can all agree that one game defines a career, then we can agree that we wouldn't take Saban either after last night or last yea against Texas. Right?

And games are won because of the players, not the coach. And players make the plays, not the coach, etc. etc. etc.

A&M has some very good, young defensive talent. We're slated to have a very good 2015 defensive recruiting haul. We will be ok.
