Rabalais: With a phone call, John Chavis took the wrong way out of LSU

 

Chavis’ conversation with Sumlin was, at the very least, not typical

DALLAS — You can find plenty of tall tales here in Texas, the new home of old LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis.
Here’s one: “Will clean pool for two tickets to CFP National Championship Game. Call Kevin Sumlin for references.”
Rustin McFarland, Texas A&M student and pool boy to the stars, tweeted Dec. 30 that he overheard Sumlin on the phone with the man he hoped would soon be A&M’s new defensive coordinator.
Turns out, that’s exactly who Sumlin was talking to — Chavis.
Here’s where you get to vote on which part of the story that is the craziest:

1. Sumlin, who’s in a profession where the professionals lie all the time, actually admitted to the media that he was indeed talking to Chavis when McFarland overheard him.
2. Sumlin fired said pool boy with a Twitter message, which reads “You just lost your job!” When you’ve got your fish (Chavis) on the hook, no need to mess around worrying you may need some plausible deniability somewhere down the road.
3. That Chavis was talking to Sumlin anywhere from minutes to hours before LSU kicked off against Notre Dame in the Music City Bowl.

Well now, that Chavis has left in a not so upfront way leaving the LSU tiger football family thinking even less of his personal character. I still feel better to be changing our defensive coordinator job and given someone else a chance.

Because frankly Chavis defense was giving up a lot of ground, first downs, points, than we wanted to see against our defense. If Les Miles can hire the right guy he can go a long way to be in a stronger position to begin winning football game. If the other team can't score, they can't win. So if not, well we will just crossover that bridge when we get there. Maybe LSU will hire a guy who simply need the chance to show off his great defensive ability. And LSU QB smoothy plays into a efficient player. And everything turns out great.
