And how can we get him back? He is a football focused AD, and I guy we could trust with the most important program at LSU. Alleva is such a joke.

It is truly amazing Alleva still has a job. Who likes the guy? I don't know one person that doesn't think he is a complete joke of an AD.

When you make this good of a point, there's not much to reply.

I don't hate Alleva like some people here do but if you told me that Dan wanted the LSU job, I'd be waiting on the 6th floor to help Joe pack.

You know I was joking the other night when I said in a post that I didn't think Alleva even watched football but the more I think about the more I become very clear that he doesn't. I don't think he watches any sport for that matter. Wonder what Emmert thinks of Joe? After what he built here.

Skip knew what he was doing when he hired this guy. Dan did all Skips work.

That said- Dan and his wife have a place in Hilton Head/ they have always wanted to live in the the Carolinas. Would some $$$ to get him back here.

Greg Sankey caught Radakovich doing some shady stuff while AD at GA Tech.

He wanted to be head AD. So he left for that position at GaTech. Then realized he wanted to be at a real football school and took the Clemson opening. Would love to have him back.

Ummm, is he the guy who elevated a lifelong position coach to head coach over more proven candidates?

Sounds like we have that guy now.

I vote for a ban of any future AD's named Joe. The 2 we have had at LSU just happen to be the 2 worst we've had.

I thought he was only extended a one year contract sometime last year. It is time for a change at that position. Has there been a new contract issued to him by LSU?

Dan's one football coach hire ensured that GA Tech will never compete for a national title. His basketball hires have sucked too, and Tech has waaaay more upside in basketball than LSU.

Yeah, how do people gush over this guy and not understand he left Georgia Tech on probation and in shambles?


He didn't even hire Dabo Clemson's athletic department is not as competitive as LSU's.


Oh, yeah, he's "one os us"...that sounds familiar

We should throw the bank at either Rad or Tom Jurich.

To answer your question, he was ready to be the man and not stand next to the man.

All Sankey had was that Radokovich told Paul Johnson there was an nCAA investigation going when they told him not to. Another case of the NCAA acting like babies because they have zero investigative authority.

Radokovich is a money raising machine, and was vital to the Cox Athletics Center, TS Expansion, and other facilities upgrades that Saban demanded. Saban said, "this is what we need" and Dan made it happen.

No, but he hired Paul Johnson at a football afterthought that won the a
ACC 2 years later. He didn't hire Dabo.

There is no good, rational answer to your question. We hired Alleva off his disastrous tenure at Duke.

Why did we do that and not pursue Radakovich? I have no fricking idea.

It's a fantastic question.
