Texas A&M hiring John Chavis as DC

[1st and goal]

Good for ATM, now supposedly they have the coach and players to have a great defense. It's put up or shut up time for Sumlin, no more excuses. Lol

They still don't have the secondary talent IMO unless they get some great recruits. You can only coach so much.

But if AJ Hilliard comes back healthy, and gives us another strong pass rush, maybe the D backs won't have to be 5 stars.

No more excuses, period.

word is Brick may be coming to ATM as well... and if he does, ATM may have landed one of the best DLine coaches in America... and his one heckuva recruiter as well...

great guy too... that would be two great hires...

and yes, with Sumlin's offense, they will still give up points... but they will make their fair share of stops... and possibly tackle better... that is ATM's glaring problem on D, with some scheme issues...

as for UT... they will fix their offense by whoever lines up at qb that is not named Swoopes... that in itself is an upgrade

Everything I've heard is pointing to Brick staying in Baton Rouge.....granted, it's on an LSU forum so who really knowns.

what is the word on his buyout?

thinking it can't be too high

I'm 99% sure that in an article I read about the five assistants getting extensions that the buyout is $0. Lol so if he wants to leave then he can. I think most coaches who aren't coordinators usually don't have buyouts included in their contracts. All of Haley's family is in the BR area though so I'd be a bit surprised if he left. His name was being thrown around as a possible candidate to replace Chief, but I've been hearing that LSU is really close to signing Shoop from Penn State, who had a top five defense in the country this past year.

Read that about the offer for DC. I just figured it was just to get him to reconsider staying(if he is thinking of leaving) and slow down a move to A&M or anywhere else.

Shoop would be a good hire. I think Michigan got a good one with Dirken.

I heard miss st was interested in hiring brick as their DC a while back....

Wonder why that didn't work out...?

Maybe it's because Manny wears cleats to practice.

think Shoop might be out.

Well yeah he tweeted yesterday that he was staying at penn st right?

[caleb_mccaig]

Yeah he's out. Penn St apparently gave him raise, at least that's what I've heard.

I'm not worried....everyone on the Tiger Rant is having a heart attack about them not having a DC yet. It's been a week, they will make a hire and it will be fine. Coordinators didn't make the LSU defense, LSU makes the coordinators.

They will make a good hire.

[caleb_mccaig]

Agreed. One thing that I keep hearing, which I personally think is an absolute long shot, is that if Malzahn takes the 49'ers job then would Muschamp be back on the market and that would be the top target. It's only been a week since there's been a vacancy but it will get interesting. I've heard the Vandy DC also may be an option along with Ed Orgeron and Venables at Clemson

Only because I enjoy drama, I would loooooove for this to happen. Talk about a college football shakeup.
