re: Alleva the fall guy

I find it hard to believe that Alleva and Alexander didn't understand the cost associated with firing Miles and bringing in Jimbo before beginning the whole process weeks ago - especially since private donors were willing to pay for the buyout.

To kill the deal simply for appearances is retarded. It wouldn't have cost LSU a dime.

If Alexander is indeed the one who killed the deal for appearances then he should be fired immediately for incompetence. LSU has routinely been threatened with budget cuts during my adult life (since the 1980's) and funding has always been restored. One would think Alexander would have educated himself on the history of LSU funding and LA politics.
One would assume that Alexander would be aware of the importance of LSU football to people in this state, the fact that LSU Athletics is self-supporting (thanks to LSU football), and the millions of dollars LSU Athletics gives the University to supplement state funding. How stupid are these people?

And, Jindal and John bel Edwards should have kept their mouths shut instead of contributing to the undermining of another state employee - Alleva.

Our state government is only good for getting in the way of everybody - and even themselves. I wouldn't lose any sleep if the State Capitol buildings and Governors Mansion slid off into the Mississippi River.
