Maybe it's Chavis?

John Chavis isn't saying much in the way of the DC job at UGA, but then again, with the Capital One Bowl coming up, why would he? We're offering $600,000 a year, which is significantly more than what he makes now, but would he leave LSU to side step over to Georgia? Probably so, especially if the Tigers don't match the offer. Do we really want him? Honestly, I never gave him much thought, but he's more than capable and god knows he knows the league after his tenure in Knoxville and his stint in Baton Rouge. He might not be a young, sexy hire, but he's as qualified as they come and it would be a solid decision by Richt. If this on the heels of the Bud Foster talk tells us anything, though, it's that Richt is not looking for a young up-and-comer to develop the Dawgs, but instead, he wants a steady, established old-hand to step in and immediately create an atmosphere of defensive success. And, I can't say I fault that logic at all.

  1. He's definitely got the resume to do the job. He's getting a bit long in the tooth, so we couldn't keep him forever, but if he could come in and make a profound difference in the way we run the D, then maybe someone from within could be promoted eventually.
