It won’t be Chavis

[theFlyingHog]

Ran into an old friend at the bar a little while ago. Apparently he's in corporate up in NWA at one of the big companies. There's a lot of fight going on about Chavis. Huge push back from some of the money people. "Anybody else!" has been yelled multiple times.

[SultanofSwine]

I guess we will have to settle for Venables then. 

[roothawg]

Would be the get of all gets

[DeltaBoy]

We'll see.

[racinghog]

Sheesh problems for the coach already. Let the man choose his own staff!!

[Missooie]

Doesn't matter what he said. Chavis is the next DC

[checkraiser88]

Doesn't Morris have the power to hire who he wants?

[hoglady]

Let the head coach choose his own staff.
Success or failure is on him.
Money folks may have input on who the head coach is but when they start micromanaging his decisions you've got real problems.

I agree with this 100%...whether anyone likes Chavis or not, CCM has got to be able to hire his staff.

[From Tusk Till Dawn]

Kinda like saying let the AD hire the coach... $$$

[PonderinHog]

Was this run by Jay the bartender guy?  Can't remember his name.

I think the friend at the bar might be mistaken.

[Wild Bill Hog]

Tie 'em down tight, Boys.  We have a poster with a SOURCE!

I don't think CM is even making this decision.  He is not the one pulling the strings on this hire.  If it is his decision to hire Chavis then his decision making sucks!

GOBN doing all the hiring.

[little pigee]

Apparently he is a corporate guy?  An old friend?  At a bar tonight?  Sounds like THE reliable source.  Go home to your mama.

[Wild Bill Hog]

GOBN doing all the hiring.

Finally, someone who knows the infamous "GOBN" and can name them!   You're up next - take it away.

I'm pretty sure the op is full of crap but if this was true, wouldn't Morris have a problem with it?

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

Yeah it's still Chavis and we don't want it to fall past him

[hoofer]

Chavis is the next DC. I can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to think a new HC would get backlash from money people on who he can and can't hire. That's just ridiculous. Anybody that tells you that look at them and tell them they don't know a damn thing about anything.

[Eddie Goodson]

Chavis will be the best DC of the Razorbacks in my adult life. If you think he isn't good enough, you really need to reassess your expectations because you're unrealistic.

[ballz2thewall]

sober before you hit that internet, slick...

[trphog]

Right. Because the people who grow chickens, sell household goods in bulk, and run big rigs down the road know more about who is a better fit as our DC than Coach Morris.

Sounds legit to me!

Those comments are . . . well, just read them.

[Boardon Hamsay]

I figured Chavis had locked up some real estate in Pinnacle by now.

[redeye]

In fairness to the OP, someone mentioned the same thing on SRANT last night.  The only difference was that his source was a friend of Chavis.

Venables lock!  Wait until Clemson is done playing people!

[247Hog]

I ran into a huge turd at the Blackwell, Arkansas truck stop. Looked just like Chavis, so yes Sir, it will most certainly be Chavis. darn never lies and is unbiased.

Entry level in the HR department at JB Hunt and reads Hogville*

This is right on the money. I can also tell you this, current players are "under the impression" it is chavis.

By a bunch of people that said, "Miles is the only thing holding LSU back from a NC."  I guess Ed has a 5 year plan with them.

Yep.  I'll get over it...

That wasn't a turd.  It was their day old fried chicken.

I wasn't a fan of hiring Chavis from the beginning but, one of our complaints as a fan base has been a lack of pressure applied on opposing QB's and I can tell you after checking it out, Chavis is your man if you want more pressure up front. While at A&M his defenses applied a lot of pressure up front in terms of forcing negative plays with 145, 150 and 132 in the last three years. The only other year that he has produced as many was his banner 2011 year at LSU when that defense forced 145 negative plays.

The problem is that at A&M his run defense wasn't stellar, #107 the first year, #80 the second year and #70 this year. Additionally, his defense this year allowed 1 play of over 10 yards every 3 defensive plays on average. That's better than us this past season, but not by much.

The other problem is that his scoring defense has gone up every year at A&M. 2015-22.0, 2016-24.5 and 2017-30.7 ppg.

But if you want pressure up front that is exciting to the fan base while rolling the dice in the back end on giving up big plays, he is your man.

Anybody who wants Chavis only wants him because he's a known name. He has not been good lately. We're risking a Bielema-type hire to run our defense and a lot of people here are excited about it 

[opineonswine]

LOL

LOL  Whereas others are all in a hissy twit about it, and none of us knows who it is going to be.

Wasn't that long ago Kevin Steele was washed up. Giving up 70 points in a bowl game at Clemson. Now he is killing it at Auburn

Again, I'll just point to the pressure that he brings on opposing offenses up front. Need to shore up the run defense and the pass coverage but Chavis hasn't lost his touch about being creative in pressuring offenses up front.

[Al Boarland]

Steele walked into a defense with a lot talent to work with. Chavis' job won't be near that easy.

[Hugo Bezdek]

So let me get this straight. Some drunk loudmouth at a bar is our new inside source on Hogville? Seems legit.

[Tarheelhawg]

It will be Chavis (from relevant media sources to numerous to list).
