Alleva handled this like he handled Duke lacrosse. ..

Like an impressionable child swayed by the media and outside pressures into doing the easy, politically expedient thing instead of the right thing.

What did we all expect? Anything different? Who the hell is making these hiring decisions that we the taxpayers have to put up with......

Yup! The man is an absolute disease to any athletic program he touches.

What responsibility do the BOS and boosters have. Did they leak info? Don't they ultimately give Alleva direction?

5mins after game he's in press conference saying Les can stay. That right there, in my opinion, made it look worse than it could have been. If he just waited to have his annual "employee/direction of program" evaluation, it would have looked like a believable agenda. Because of this you know something else was going on and the media saw that too. Now, how do you sell sincerity of coaching tenure to possible recruits and assistant coaching candidates?

TigerB8, Great Observation, You are spot on. Alleva coming out after the game was very strange....
Posted on 11/29/15 at 10:20 am to USLTiger
It's because Alleva is obsessed with public perception...of himself, not LSU.

Yep Alleva, screwed the job at Duke when he left those horny field hockey kids hanging in the wind.... now he screwed the job here by his handling of this Les Miles wind hanging thing

If Les was staying all along, most would likely come out and say "he's still our coach but we've got to review some things after the season is over " . This lost the program some recruits already. The silence or lack of verbal support from the AD the last three weeks says that something was in the works but it fell through. Now the school took the PR hit and still didn't make a change. Should have just ripped the band aid off and made the change. If they didn't have a plan B in place then the admins are idiots. they would have taken a PR hit anyway if they made the change, but now look like morons and the program isn't any better off. Les is possibly a lame duck now.

That was over ten years ago - and while he worked for Duke. Time to move on.

Apparently, Alleva and his approach have not moved on.

I was shocked to see this. To me, it gave even more credibility to the idea that there was a behind the scenes clusterfrick.

None, of course.

Alleva is alleged to have said to the coach he was firing at Duke-- it's not about the truth.
