The whole situation makes me sick but still have hope

First, I don't have a "sauce", so if you are looking for that move on. This just my thoughts on the last 12 months with Alleva.
I am former walk on who was part of the program for 5 years.
Not a Miles guy, but the way we handled that last year was embarrassing. IMO, he deserved a shot with the talent coming back, but I thought Alleva screwed up by not forcing an OC change. Miles is a good coach but ultimately was too stubborn.
I also had no issue firing Miles after the Auburn loss, as it gave us a a jump start on the coaching search. IMO Jimbo has always been choice #1 (lot of support with former players) and there WAS mutual interest, but I had zero confidence in Alleva's ability to get this done.
Fast forward Jimbo plays us for more money and resources at FSU and we quickly move on to Herman (which I applaud), and looks like we will get this done quickly. Then the leak by Trace Armstrong, Herman's agent. Do we not get a signed freaking NDA that would deter this from happening? Texas didn't leak this and neither did ESPN, because they weren't in the meeting. Agent wins by leaking. This will cost us more money or he goes to UT.
I pray we get the deal done with Herman, but it will be done in spite of Alleva not because of him.
Wake up BOS and fire Alleva.

Also on Coach O, I appreciate the job he did for salvaging the season. I believe he can be a successful head coach, but never thought he was a long term option for LSU. Will admit he definitely picked up a lot of support from former players, and I was somewhat concerned Boosters and fans would sway Alleva to hire him. Thought the loss to UF ruled that out.
I don't see him staying on staff, and wish him the best in the future. He deserves a 2nd chance as a HC.
