The return of 3rd and Chavis?

 

[Volsfaninva917]

No thanks

 

[NATHAN05]

As a DL coach?.......I would be good with this. He has passion for UT, he knows the stakes, he knows the SEC..........tons of experience coaching at this level......I give it the doug stamp of approval

Sign him up. The more Orange blood the better to counteract the Bammer stink.

Chavis is notorious for not working well with others.

I can see it now. Brings back Chief. Fulmer fires Pruitt mid season, and takes the reigns a la Barry Alvarez style. Promotes Chief to DC. Getting the gang all back together! Feels like 98

Does Tee start taking snaps?

I'm willing to risk it

Chavis wasn’t a recruiter really, right?

 

[onevol74]

Would Pruitt hire a guy who has more weight with the AD than he does? Both figuratively and literally?

 

[DiderotsGhost]

I was just thinking about Chavis. I was wondering if Fulmer wanted to bring back Chavis to finish out the season on the DL. Be nice to have the Chief back on the sidelines. And probably a much less stressful role for him.

Would feel more like the Golden Girls

I could see it for a mid-season hire. However, if you want to keep recruits, there needs to be a permanent replacement.

 

[Volnbeers]

yea lets hire another guy that absolutely refuses to recruit.

He will be just another guy on the coaching roster collecting a paycheck

This is not the 90s. Christ people let it go....
We need young energentic, innovative coaches .not retreads and old memories

 

[AllVols]

Moving on...

Chavis was very good except 3rd and long, lol

 

[I Love Lamp]

Isn’t there a reason he isn’t on a staff anywhere? The game seems to have passed him by now. He did some great things for this school in the 90’s but I think those days for him are gone. I mean, his last 3 stops didn’t go so well. Maybe I am dead wrong.

Can't see this happening, when Fulmer was fired Chavis actively sought the job and was not even considered. Then was let go of as the DC. I don't think he would come back to serve as a lower level assistant to two other DCs.

 

[give_him 6]

What was Chavis' middle school record? Did he develop any freshman talent on the defensive side of the ball? I think we as VN would have to see that information before we push for this hire.

The only counter to your points is that Fulmer is there to have his back now.
