Chatman has experienced a variety of roles over the last several year, most recently as defensive line coach at Tulane where he helped the Green Wave limit opposing FBS teams to just 3.2 yards per carry (ranked No. 10 nationally) and record sacks on 6.98 percent of their total defensive plays, the No. 49 mark nationally. Chatman's lone season as defensive line coach with Tulane came after he spent the spring at LSU as the interim defensive line coach.

Prior to his stints at Tulane and Colorado, Chatman served as a defensive analyst at LSU in 2021, focusing on the defensive line.

Elite hire right there. Gator fans must be elated about this news and just what they needed after what has likely been the most disastrous 2 month stretch in the history of recruiting

Surprised they were able to snag him considering the burning platform sunbelt billy is on.


Hopefully he wasn’t a BK target

Kelly had his chance to hire him when he was interim DL coach after Cain left and he didn’t

He did a good job for us, but he sure is attracted to head coaches who are about to walk the plank.

I wonder why he wasn't. The whole Cain/Chatman/Lindsey scenario is interesting to me. I can't wait to read about it in someone's book.

So did UF lose their whole DL class because this was the hire, or because Napier waited too long to announce the hire?

Either way, total fail on his part per usual

He is simply networking so he always has a place to go if he and a Coaching staff gets fired.
