ESPN.com is reporting that former Tennessee defensive coordinator John Chavis is headed for Baton Rouge where he is expected to help shore up a defense that failed to perform following Bo Pelini’s departure a year ago.

Speaking of Tennessee defensive coordinators, when did Monte Kiffin start mailing it in down in Tampa? Over the last four games, the Tampa defense gave up 38 to Carolina, 41 to San Diego, and (worst of all) 31 in a home game against Oakland with a playoff spot at stake.
