re: Do You Think Alleva Is Letting JJ Play the Season Out to Bury Brown/Temple?

No reason to do it now. Let the disgrace brought to us by Dale and his boys be on full display for all to witness. They won't be able to say shite when this team closes out the season like they will.

Contrary to the thoughts of some who have never been an administrator over a large program, I seriously doubt this guy is the total idiot some make him out to be. He is maneuvering some political obstacles and really needs to neuter the influence of Dale Brown and Collis Temple. Letting Jones go down in flames will be the "you had your chance and fricked up as I told you that you would, and now I will do this without your precious input."

There's nothing to be gained by firing JJ before the end of the season. Things are already in dumpster fire mode, so it's just better to let it burn through the end of the season - if for nothing else to communicate to Brown and Temple that they should enjoy retirement and keep their noses out of the LSU Men's BB program. The hiring was purely political and had nothing to do with JJ's achievements as a coach. He needs to go to a D-3 school, which is probably more suited to his "talents".
