Anyone believe that Alexander at the last minute realizes it's a bad idea to pay Miles millions to leave. He was involved in this the whole time. Jimbo gives them the finger at the last minute and Alleva is told you need to fix this. Time for damage control. Alleva takes the fall. Alexander tries to cover himself by aligning himself with Miles. They all wanted Jimbo and Jimbo played them to the wire. No way it takes two weeks to figure out a buyout looks bad.

He was the Fall Guy and we want to fire him? That was an awesome show.

Not saying he's being fired. I'm saying he will take the heat because that's his job.

Alleva is getting a blackeye but he was trying to do the right thing. F-ING ALEXANDER is the one responsible

The payout didn't match Alexander's narrative of an underfunded university....

None of the elected officials wanted the heat of a deal gone bad either.....

I detest Alleva anyway and his history as the guy that screwed up the Duke lacrosse team makes him the perfect fall guy

Sadly, I could only give you one up vote but you deserved 100.

1 for the nostalgia.

1 for the great 80's TV theme song.

98 for Heather Thomas at :57

Just mentally add 99 upvotes to your total.

Alleva tried to keep LSU football relevant, so yes he should be fired by Louisiana logic.

The leak doesn't matter. OnlyOnly one matters, CLM for years to come. He already has made statements since Saturday implying that his offense is fine.

Alleva will find another job before he is fired.

At least he recognized a change needed to be made...which I didn't think he was capable of doing.

Everything after that was a disaster.

During the game they said Alleva told Miles to win the A&M game so they'd "have some ammo with the decision makers". I don't care for Alleva at all, but judging from that quote does it make it sound like Alleva was in Miles' corner all along? He just handled everything pitifully.

Still on the fire Alleva train though.

Yes, and these are the same people saying a deal was done. I don't believe any of the leaks because they were all wrong.

F King Alexander is getting his own show next season after Les's Coaches Show.

Unless you live in Shreveport.
