I for one don't bash anyone that was here during our great years. I am forever grateful for that stretch, and our national championship.

UT then Bama I can understand. But that other team? Really? I think I am going to puke.....

Edit: On second thought, having grown up in Bama, AU and UA is not possible, ethical, moral, or legal. You are obviously a troll.

His defense won many ballgames at UT.

His defenses lost several big ones also.....I remember a 62 point trouncing in Gainesville.

The Chief is a good guy. Every D-scheme have an Achillies Heel - even Saban's. Once the OC's figure it out they exploit it. Despite some posters' attempt to say otherwise, the Mustang and its variants was his at UT. Most of the 3rd and Chavis first downs came after using that scheme because we never seemed to have two physical CB's with speed on the field at the same time. The OC's would use more protection for the QB, run one side of the secondary down the field, draw the other side to the sideline with a WR or TE, and then send the slot on a deeper crossing or flag pattern over the middle of the field. Sometimes they sent the slot down the field or on a deep out pattern and had the WR do the crossing. Either way it would wind up a first down pass or TD. If the CB's could not mess the timing up or keep up, the safety was out of the picture and it was over.

Ultimately it was Fulmer's fault to even allow that D to be used. Everything else The Chief used or uses is excellent.

he should demand a lot more than $1.1 million from lsu---they have millions in profits and should pay at least $1.8 mil.

Chavis was the one guy I didn't want to see go after 08. LSU is very fortunate to have him.

I am confused. Was he the DC or not? If he was, he deserves the 3rd and Chavis. If he wasn't, then who was. I NEVER saw Fulmer calling defenses, a lot of dumbass offense, but never defenses. Either way, he isn't worth 1.1 mill.

I would wait to see what he can do without Saban before I call him the best of the best.

That 59-20 beatdown was partly huge talent dicrepency as well as UTs horrible offensive day putting defense in tough situations. Heck Eric Berry scored 6 of those 20 points for us. The entire team struggled that day. Even Eric missing on an end zone play earlier was one of Floridas 59. I cant play all that on the Chief. Now if you wanna blame Chief for the Bama game. No reason DJ Hall should have caught like 15 passes underneath for over 200 yards. Corners should have been instructed to press up after it was apparent that was what John Parker Wilsons intentions were that day.

Truth. Many of coordinators have gotten accolades under Saban then it all changes for said coach when they step out on their own.
