That high on Thanksgiving night when it appeared we had Herman to that thrown together press conference the next day to announce O. What an awful roller coaster.

Ugh. I agree, Alleva should have fired Les at the end of the 2015 season rather than waiting. But with almost a year to look back on what other choice could he have made?
- Jimbo- wanted $7M and based on this season at FSU any one arguing he would be worth that?
- Herman- no one could out bid Texas for him and his "dream job".
So who is the obvious third choice?
Mullen? Maybe, but if his former AD at MSU doesn't bring him to FLA what does that say? He still has a dreadful record against ranked teams.
Gundy? Maybe, but would his Big XII defense work in the SEC? would he even come? Could LSU have gone to OK State two hires in a row for their HC?
Fedora? hardly.
PJ Fleck? What has he proven.

Alleva made the mistake in not firing the Hat at the end of the 2015 season, but based on the field in late 2016 Coach O might have been the most logical hire. Now not firing Les when he should have and structuring Coach O's contract the way he did- yet more reasons to fire Alleva...

Yea it was a sinking feeling. Hell they could have waited another week to announce O and though it would've still sucked, it would've at least looked like a more sophisticated process.

The minute I heard it in the middle of the A&M game, I knew were fricked and getting played. No way something like that gets announced in the middle of a game. I figured Herman's agent leaked that out to get Texas's attention. It worked. Tuck fexas.
