Texas A&M brought in longtime LSU defensive coordinator John Chavis this offseason in an effort to fix what's best the worst defense in the SEC for the past two years.
Chavis will earn a total of $4.65 million over the next three years as one of the highest-paid assistants in the country, but the Aggies believe he'll be worth it after giving up 509.5 yards per game in SEC play last year and generating only 13 turnovers during a disappointing 8-5 season.
While a look at those numbers would lead most to believe that an immediate turnaround is unlikely, Chavis seems much more optimistic.
