re: Alleva's meeting with the coaches

What everybody seems to forget is that the Brosette run up the middle was a good run on first down for 9 yards. It was the fumble that made it a bad play. So the call was good and worked it just had a careless turnover. As for if one of the other running backs was carrying the ball then there would be no fumble, how can you possibly know that? Brosette hasn't run the ball since then but I say give him another chance. Has there ever been a running back who didn't fumble at least once?

No inside knowledge, just my thought process.

Orgeron was hired on the premise that he would have top notch coordinators and let them do their job without overstepping. This is the reason Miles was let go because he simply would not let the offensive coordinator run their plays on a consistent basis after the Lee interception game. Alleva knows his job is on the line and was in clear jeopardy after the Troy loss and he had to set the lines straight to save his own arse.
Now the players made an effort over the last two games to play with emotion and heart, the way we are used to seeing at LSU and that goes without saying. It may have been a mixture of the old players lighting a fire under their collective asses and the fact that they saw the difference in the coaching after the meeting.
I for one think the players played like crap in the MSU game and Troy, not as a slap in the face to Orgeron but simply because they had that “here we go again mentality” of the coach holding to tight to the reigns.

Just my two cents

Not that hard to figure out . . .

Alleva: "All right Ed, get your arse in here. Now you know I went out on a limb so you could have this job, and I'm glad you got it, but dammit can you not frick it up?? Don't you know my arse is on the line here too?"

O: "Uh yeah boss. Jus don't think the players were gettin' it. Needed to simplify and play 60 minutes"

Alleva: "Yeah right - what you need to do is sit your arse down and let what they've been working on for a year happen. We didn't bring Canada in here to listen to some yaw yaw shite. If you'll just get out of the way and enjoy being the HC we might have some success. If you can't do that, we'll both be out on our asses looking for a damn job. At least we'll have that buyout money to split.
Now go have fun and try not to get in the way."

"Matt, this is your baby now. Run any damn thing you want, but if you frick it up you'll crash with me and Bebe. Good luck."

O: "Allright guys you heard da boss. Geauxtigahs"

He's paying Canada and aranda as much as he is O and he knows they are both more Important to winning than O. He told O to take the play sheet and put in the garbage and pick up his pom poms.
He only did this because his Own job is in jeapardy

Just so you know. Not a single person that posts here actually knows what happened.

And that I definitely agree with.

Nobody knows what happened in that room besides the four men in attendance.

hell, according to this thread lots of people know everything about that meeting.

today's environment, esp with social media, fosters made up stories. much of it is junior high girl shite. rumor, gossip and downright character assassination.
