It's obvious that the players and coaches read that letter prior to the game. A few players even defended coach O after the game.

It absolutely undermined our team in the game. Why the frick would Alleva do that unless he was setting coach O to fail.

Gentleman, Joe Alleva is going to destroy the football program. This guy can't be trusted. I hope that MFer reads this.

A letter that literally said nothing undermined the team?

He might have done LSU good. Hiring O is not good for the program. No in game adjustments. He is a Cajun Les miles. He can recruit and motivate. When game is not going his way, no adjustments

I really hope Alleva did tell O prior to the game that he's no longer a candidate. Shoot straight with him. Treat O with respect. Both move on and make LSU great agai .

I'm not defending O. I'm talking about getting embarrassed by a terrible UF team.

That game was demoralizing

That letter had zero impact on the game.

Wow. Yesterday people were bitching that the letter sounded like he was describing O and today we have people bitching that it undermined him and the team.

Sounds like Alleva can't win with some of you idiots

Can you elaborate, because I'm not seeing it.

The letter was basically "AD speak" to let the fans know that the process continues... "We're looking for a great coach, leader of men, experience, etc. etc. etc."

The letter said nothing that wouldn't be expected of our coaching search and next coach. What's the problem? How did it undermine O or the team? We are in fact in the midst of a coaching search.

Some people are reading WAAAAYYY too much into a letter that basically said, well, Nothing.

Alleva should be fired for a plethora of reasons.

The letter was ill timed and really proved how big of a weasel Joe is, BUT to think it has an outcome on the game is ridiculous.
