re: Should Alleva stay at LSU

Joe Alleva should thank his lucky stars that Will Wade had been eyeing the LSU job since, at least, November, when his VCU team kicked LSU's arse in the Bahamas. Wade (through his reps) reached out to Alleva well before Jones was fire to express his interest in the job.

Wade's friend and mentor essentially confirmed that story by saying the two were running together in the Bahama's the morning after the LSU game when Wade said to him "You know that job (LSU) is probably going to be open at the end of the season."

I can't think of any good hires Alleva made before getting the LSU job. He inherited Coach K at Duke. Fired the successful Lacrosse coach before an investigation showed the rape allegations were a complete lie. He then preferred Karl Dorell over David Cutcliffe for the Duke Football position. Luckily for Duke someone with stroke changed that decision.

I mean HOLY shite! The man has hired 4 major sport coaches at LSU. 2 of those hires were people who literally no other power conference programs even considered to be a realistic candidate.
