Because those that blame Alleva don't understand his role and the limits of his authority.

I think you are missing their point. It's not just to pile on Alleva per se (though there is a lot of that) but it is rather because he attempted to fire Miles and it blew up in his face making LSU llok bad and they are claiming that hurt recruiting. Whether it did or not is debatable, but it is not "dumb" to suggest it did.

Frank was the RC up until like a week ago. We had 2 2017 commits when he left for UTSA and that's what we have now, so his leaving had no impact on the small list of 2017 commits to date.

I would think, the recruiting coordinator has the biggest impact on early commits from future classes while the other's focus on wrapping up the next class. If his mind was on leaving after the past season, maybe he didn't put as much focus on it, just a thought.

Frank took one of the last HC openings this off season. While as it has always been his stated goal to be a HC, it would undermine goals to "mail it in". We had 4 commits at one point, one directly de committed in wake of the Miles fiasco. So really nothing to do with Frank.
