Hey arse, it's TAF's money, NOT LSU's.
Hey, what a great gesture it would be if TAF tossed a little dough to academics. You know . . . just to show that they think academics have some small place at LSU.

Maybe so, but I've paid my TAF donations and season ticket charges for 25 years, so I have a right to speak my mind.
And don't lecture me about fricking Alabama. I write checks to the University of Alabama every year.... checks that would be a lot bigger if my son had not received a ridiculously generous scholarship. Yeah, I get the relationship between a good football team and increased applications and academic revenue, but you are overstating it. Alabama buys its out of state students with the most generous scholarship program in the nation. You think LSU would do that? Please.
Show me some stats on what happened to our enrollment after the 2007 championship and I'll be happy to reconsider. Otherwise I'll stand on my post.

And, of course, it ignores the fact that Alabama was bringing more than LSU when we were the ones with Saban and they had Mike Shula.
I don't know if it's still the case but at one point, they were the state school with the most National Merit Scholars because they threw a ton of cash at them.

Has been proven time and again to have questionable sources with regards to LSU. He never gets it right with regards to "insider info" on coaching hires etc.
The article in question reads like the "As the plains burn" thread.
In one paragraph that he draws a huge fact like conclusion of F King Alexander it starts with "if the rumors are true".
Friday night on here everyone said the deal fell through that FSU had upped the offer. Thats fine most schools have spending limits. We went all day before the game with Alexander not stepping in.
To me the whole situation reads-Jimbo went above a spending cap and Alleva had absolutely no plan b for the coaching hire. Alexander looks at the situation and says we have a 9-10 win coach vs an AD who has no back up plan. Which do I trust more with the stability of the program.

I don't buy that story about FSU outbidding. FSU is fixing to be embarrassed yet again with accusations of sexual assault by football players. Seems like Jimbo was looking to bail and for him to be haggling over details doesn't make sense. His brand is fixing to take a significant PR hit. His value may not be perceived the same after it.

People who are buying into that Hayride article have no clue how absurd that site is.

I think F dropped the hammer on Aleva on Thursday and the rest of the stuff was BS to allow all sides to save face and try to repair the image of the school supporting Miles.

Come on, you don't buy the following?
1) LSU suddenly decides to fire head coach.
2) LSU decides to immediately begin coaching search before firing previous coach.
3) LSU centers in on one sole candidate
4) Candidate agrees to come to LSU, agent agrees on terms, announcement soon to be made.
5) President suddenly decides price is too high, optics look bad and scratches the entire fricking deal!
6) Spurned coach and agent, with not even a chance to milk old university of some fresh cash are completely cool with it.
7) Coaching search ends when sole candidate doesn't work out.
8) Board members hold a secret meeting in the 3rd quarter of the A&M game when LSU is still losing and decide, shite, we don't need a new coach after all.
You obviously don't know shite about how high level business deals work.

Yeah its just an easy button to push. People in Louisiana get mad about "liberals" and LSU football. McKay gets to push two buttons in one article so people buy it hook line and sinker.
I believe Alexander may have interjected himself into the situation but this was only after Alleva had proven to have lost all confidence. If state politics were an issue this would have been shut down much earlier. Everyone knew the buyout weeks ago.

Nobody decided anything at the game. Its absurd.

So you're telling me alleva knew earlier but waited for Alexander to tell him after the game and allowed the media to bash us left and right for days without making a statement?
What a worthless AD

I don't have any sources. It seems about as plausible as a in game huddle to make a 20 million dollar decision. One thing about the situation that hasn't been considered is Fischer's divorce situation. Where and who is really getting this money. TAF maybe just giving money that goes in some dirtbag backdoor mans pocket the ex is involved with. Moving him and her into BR. Alot of stuff to ponder about a guy the school would pay 7 million a year to be coach.

It was good we didn't hire Jimbo is the bottom line I think. It would have been pretty complicated and wierd and he hasn't really proved to be worth all the trouble.

Les Miles has lost control of Alexander and Jones

FWIW, though I seriously doubt McKay has the whole story, several people including Charlie Hanagriff and Derek Ponamsky have said it's basically on the money. So don't reject Alexander playing a large role in the Miles fiasco without knowing how the process works.
Also, what are you folks talking about acting like people are crazy to contact the Board of Supervisors? They are political appointees and their job is specifically to protect the best interests of LSU both academically and athletically. If you have a problem with an administrator, of course you should contact the BOS. Their contact info is public for a reason.
Lastly, you are really naive if you don't think football is a big deal to LSU as an institution and an important part of the job of University President not to screw up.
