Chavis in USFL

[LTVol]

John Chavis is the DC for Birmingham's USFL team. Broadcast last night talked about his time at UT, Broyles award and Natty. Kinda sad this is where his career ended up. Players only make $45k. I can only imagine how low coach salaries are.

He should enjoy the lower pressure, lower stakes environment. I mean it is high stakes for the guys involved, don't get me wrong, but it is a perfect fit for Coach Chavis in 2022. He is a good hire for any USFL team.

I didn't watch it all but overall seemed like a pretty good game. I question how many people will come out to watch the games not involving Birmingham though. And today the weather is terrible.

Agreed.

Chief is like 66 years old and VFL.

Time to wind it down and still get paid.

RESPECT !

I doubt ol chavis is hard up for cash between his years here and lsu. If he’s as conservative with his cash as his 3rd down D then he’s just fine.

 

[mercuryvol]

He will be fine. Only problem he has is having to be in the heart of bammer trash.

He made some good money at UT...LSU...A&M...Ark. He's set for life and I'm sure this USFL job is just having something to do and little about the money he makes.

Unless he blew as much money as third down calls, I’d say he is only doing it for fun.

Fisher is the head coach at Houston. Chavis could do a lot worse, and he probably still has the game in his blood.

I've watched a couple of these USFL games this weekend and I'm a fan.

Both players and coaches seem to be in it for what it is...a game. A place to have fun and remember what the sport actually means. Saw a lot of guys having a great time.

Chavis is a man I will always root for and think the best of.

My neighbors nephew is QB for one of the teams. Idk if he's starting or what, but she's excited.

3rd and Chavis.

Last I heard he was assisting a middle school football team there in Knoxville somewhere. The guy loves the game, knows a lot about it. I suspect the USFL think they're lucky to get a guy like him on boiard.

 

[Orangethumb]

He's made plenty of dough and gotten plenty of awards. At this point, it's just love of the game. Good for him.

Fisher is coach for Michigan Panthers. Sumlin is coach for Houston,

Bjorn?

Do they run 1997 offenses in the USFL? If so, he'd be great at stopping those guys.

I thought Chavis had retired.
