I bet the new analyst hire Michael Sewell will be helping Guidry with the safeties. That would allow Chevis to focus on corners and allow Guidry to do normal DC stuff during games, at practice etc.

This guy and the new DL Grad Assistant Azar Wilson shared one coach they worked for in common.
Specifically, this DC at North Carolina A&T (Wilson) and later North Carolina Central (Sewell):
Courtney Coard - Co-Defensive Coordinator/Defensive Line - Football Coaches - North Carolina A&T
Courtney Coard spent four seasons (2011-14) as North Carolina A&T’s defensive line coach. He departed N.C. A&T for one season in 2015 to become a defensive graduate

Courtney Coard - Football Coach - North Carolina Central University Athletics
Courtney Coard joined the North Carolina Central University football coaching staff as defensive coordinator and defensive line coach in March 2022. Coard, who

Mike Sewell - Football Coach - North Carolina Central University Athletics
Michael Sewell Jr. re-joined North Carolina Central University after a short stint in the spring of 2022 at East Carolina University as a defensive graduate assistant.

Anyways, probably just a coincidence but of interest for us nerds.

Wheels were in motion for a while but point taken. Hopefully, we continue to see new approaches in other things.

If he hires a clock management coach then he really might be the coach who brings the U back

Sorry for the wait, I do have a life outside of the board (shocking I know lol)...
But I'll get into the reasons why I think this is a good hire & why I've liked Chevis as CB's Coach dating back to his Kansas days.
1) He's a Corey Raymond disciple.
Why is that significant? Because CR is probably the best pure teacher of CB's in CFB & what he teaches his Corners is understanding how to properly use their upper body while in phase how to slow down, disrupt & re-route the WR at top of the stem without grabbing or tugging on the jersey of the WR in order to prevent getting a PI. Probably not a big deal to the average fan, but is huge IMO because as surprising as it may be, not every Coach preaches that. Crazy I know, but there are actually Coaches who teach their Corners to grab.
What this does is builds the muscle memory in your CB's to keep their hands free & sharpens their coverage skills.
So how does this manifest in Chevis's Coaching?
In the 2 years he's been at Marshall, Micah Abraham has had 25PD's, 10INT's with an above 80 coverage grade over the last 2 seasons, logging over 800 snaps while being one of the least penalized CB's in CFB.
And just to cross-reference so that it's not just one isolated CB, Marshall's Defense averaged an above 70 coverage grade this season with 8 games above 70. What that means is that in 61% of their games they were in the top 20% in pass coverage.
Dyoni Hill, as a Red FR in his first seasons starting had 10PD's with a 70.9 coverage grade on the season.
In 2020, Karon Prunty had 10 PD's with a 38% completion percentage & 70 Man coverage grade, as a TF. Unfortunately, he ran into grades issues that sidelined his career, but that one season at Kansas was promising.
2) Good eye for talent;
Chevis was the Coach who found & recruited guys like, Karon Prunty, Cobee Bryant & Mello Dotson, all of whom have played well, with Bryant & Dotson both being future NFL players.
Obviously, these weren't high ranked 5-star kids that are easily identifiable, but his evals proved successful in those instances combined with their overall development.
3) Smart guy who hasn't had it easy on his come up in his career.
This isn't a Coach who was being carried by someone else, this is a guy who has to be at places where high level recruits are not readily available, so he's had to make due with what he's got. Which tells me he's a hard worker who can maximize his groups ability even if they're not a UGA caliber room. Which is exactly what we need, a CB Coach who can take average & get them to play above average.
4) His demeanor;
He's a laid back Coach who's personable. His players all swear by him & play their hearts out for him because he connects with them. Idk how many of you know this, but Addunce was a prickly guy who got into with several players in the CB room. It wasn't just the Davonte Brown incident that some of you have already read/heard about, but just all-around he was a Coach that just didn't understand how to get his point across without being a complete d!ck about it. And while most fans probably love the idea of having a hard-*** Coach constantly berating & getting into with players, when it comes to CB's that's probably the least effective way to Coach them. That may work for OL's, DL's, LB's etc.., but CB is a cerebral position, it takes tact, experience & mental acuity to teach it correctly.
Not to invoke Corey Raymond again, but he's not a yeller, he's an explainer. He doesn't just dog-cuss his DB's & excoriate them for making mistakes in practice/drills, he teaches why what they did was wrong & how to fix it. Chevis is the same way, he holds his players accountable without challenging them to a fight every 5 seconds, which helps in the process of motivation & garnering respect.
5) Guidreaux hand picked'em.
Mario made a smart move allowing for Guidreaux to bring his guy from Marshall here, this signifies (to me at least), this is who Guidry likely wanted from the start. But most importantly, it's the cohesion the 2 will have in terms of structuring the Secondary. Guidreaux is a Safeties Coach by trade, so the CB room will be turned over to Chevis, with the continuity they have from Marshall, Guidreaux will be able to diversify coverages based on different personnel looks & the 2 of them will be on the same page as far as sub-packages are concerned.
It makes the transition smoother because the 2 of them know each other & have worked well with each other in the past. So Chevis already knows exactly how Guidreaux wants his Corners playing & what responsibilities will be allotted to the Safeties. Guidreaux doesn't like to use his Safeties to do all the heavy lifting in coverage, he wants his Corners to play mostly Man & be able to hold down their side of the field on their own, while the Safeties patrol their Shells & the LB's/pass rushers collapse the pocket from whichever exotic delayed Blitz he's drawn up. In order for his Defense to be at its most effective state, the CB's have to be able to cover 1 on 1 on the perimeter & can't just rely on the Safeties to do everything for them because they can't keep up with a WR beyond 10yds.
Chevis already understanding this is going to reshape & teach this CB room actual downfield Coverage skills, not this bullsh*t Free release early open hip sh*t that Addae had our Corners doing.
If Chevis sticks around for longer than a season I can definitely see the CB room drastically improving in coverage.
The only unfortunate caveat is that the 24 class is filled with Addae guys, which means Chevis is either going to have to really Coach'em up & completely rebuild the room via the Portal come Dec -Feb at the end of the 24 season.
But overall, I believe this a very good hire, his knowledge & experience set him apart & the connectivity he already has with Guidreaux is going to be paramount in elevating the Defense to another level.
