What has he done wrong here? Trent Johnson was a good hire at the time. Name me something Alleva has done wrong.

You can't make a shite sandwich taste like a roast beef poboy from Ray's PeGes. No matter what kind of bread you use, its still a shite sandwich.

The fact that he was AD at Duke should be a negative in this case. He didn't have to do anything with the basketball program there. Never hired a coach for them, never had to interfere, it ran like a top.

Alleva did not make any big hires at Duke. He did not show up there until 1998. His biggest hire was David Cutcliff in football. That should tell everyone something.

Do you tards realize that there is more to the AD job than just hiring coaches?

LSU will never hire a big time known basketball coach. Who would want to coach at LSU in basketball?......LSU is just a middle tier level SEC basketball school.......until a young coach comes in and changes this like the coach at Fla did, LSU will never be a basketball school........

We should have hired the AD from Kentucky.

Sure everyone knows that. But if you think an AD's legacy will be anything other than the coaches he hires than you are being naive.

I somewhat agree. After seeing MSU have to hire the guy they did, everyone should have tempered their expecatations on potential coaches wanting to come to mid-tier SEC programs.

Because he was a weakling the good ole boys could push around, just as they are doing now.

"At the time"? A week ago you were claiming he was still a good hire. Changing your tune?

Hired Trent Johnson. Didn't fire him after the worst 3-year period in the program's history. Limited the search for his replacement to people with "Louisiana connections".

There's more to a car than a transmission, but you still don't buy a car with a shitty transmission.
