Joe Alleva Report Card: D+

Football D - For his handling of Miles at end of Season. I wonder if Miles sent Joe an autographed picture of players carrying him off the field after A&M game.

Men's Basketball D - Did not expect this from a Duke AD

Women's Basketball D - Did not expect this from a Duke AD

Baseball C - The only major coach not in turmoil. Of course that could change within 2 weeks anytime this baseball season.

I'm not sure the bumbling of the Miles situation is 100% on aSleepa.
F King had his fingerprints all over that situation too.
aSleepa could have come out and said "Miles is our guy", which would have bought him some time, but it sounds like F King was pulling the strings on that one.

and if you think about basketball, Duke has been set with their men's basketball coach for years; so, aSleepa doesn't know how to hire one.

We messed up by not hiring Dan Radakovich.

Joe's kinda the reason Duke's women's basketball program isn't what it used to be.

I am confused. Baseball gets a C-....why? And if the team gets worse as the season goes by, Alleva's grade drops? Huh?

I see you're adapting to LSU's plus minus system well.

Football D - For his handling of Miles at end of Season
This is entirely too overplayed. Should he have proactively done something to avoid that shitshow? Probably. But he made it clear from the beginning that his policy was always no firings until the end of a season.

quote:

Men's Basketball D
Oh, absolutely. This deserves all hate. Jones was a cop out hire from the beginning that fooled us the first couple years because 1. Trent Johnson was THAT bad. 2. Initially we saw a faster, more exciting style of play. 3. In-state recruits actually wanted to come here. And I ain't talking about Eddie Ludwig.
This season was a story not so much about Jones "failing as an X's and O's guy," but more about he failed to keep a team together as a team.

To me this is hard to pin on Alleva. Caldwell did pretty well at UCLA and this is the first time in her five years here the team didn't make the tournament. Caldwell was a pretty good hire. Fargas not so much.

The frick? Mainieri, first of all, was a Bertman hire. Secondly, we're 12-3 with 3 returning position player starters (if you really count Kramer and Papierski as starters in 2015). And the team is hitting damn well.

But Alleva's work with Lange in the offseason has been fruitless so far.

He totally lost me with the way he handled the Les Miles issue this past fall. IDC to get in a discussion about whether Miles should have been fired or retained, but the way Alleva handled that entire mess was just amateur hour.

Alexander should do the same to Alleva, keep him in limbo and hang him out to dry for 2 weeks and see how he likes it.

Alleva was trying to get replace a coach that half this board doesn't like with Jimbo Fisher. He was trying to do what most people said he should be doing and trying to make the program better before F. King went over his head. I don't think Les should have been fired but if he would have replaced him with Jimbo I would have been fine with it.
