Lets make a complete list of the frick-up's of our great Athletic director. I'll start:

1. The hiring of Ed Orgeron / coaching search 2016.
2. The fake firing of Les Miles / coaching search 2015.
3. Making a majority of the tailgating spots into paid parking.
4. Hiring Johnny Jones
5. The failed hiring of softball coach Patrick Murphy
6. Hiring Tren Johnson
7. Getting into a lawsuit w/ John Chavis over a contract, dragging it out over months costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, only to drop the suit.
8. $12,000,000 buyout to Ed Orgeon
9. Extending Les Miles contract because he thought Les was going to Arkansas.
10. LSU playing Florida @ home in 2016, giving Florida 2 home games in 2017 & 2018.
11. Hiring a shitty band director, banning our best songs and piping in top 40 rap hits of the 90's every other play

there are many more to add but I don't wanna be too greedy. What else do we got? I'll Update when we get a list compiled.

When he hired Alabama's softball coach then the coach gave a press conference then drug his nuts on Alleva's face and went back to Alabama.

That embarrassment for Alleva is part of the reason he's scared to go big and put it all out there for coaching searches.

Literally everything. If it wasn't a failure then it succeeded in spite of that jackwang sumbitch.

He wasn't officially AD yet but he played a huge role in the Trent Johnson hire

He was weak and ineffective during the Florida hurricane ordeal last season. His weakness let Florida and the media control the narrative.

I’ve posted this many times before.

Alleva's top moments at LSU:
Screwing up firing Les Miles in 2015
Screwing up the football coaching search in 2016
Allowing the basketball team to bow out of postseason play in 2016
Getting worked over by the Florida AD and SEC in 2016
Screwing up the hiring of Softball coach Pat Murphy. (That may have worked out for us.)
Hiring Trent Johnson.

So far the only good thing he’s done is hire Will Wade and Beth Torina. He screwed up Beth’s hiring and it took him Trent Johnson and Johnny Jones before getting Will Wade.

TBD.

I like him and I think he'll end up being a success story. But let's let him coach a game here before making that call.

The chavis lawsuit needs to be updated to read- getting into a lawsuit with john chavis, dragging it out forever and spending hundreds of thousands in legal fees, and then dropping it. - and at this point I wouldn't put it past aleva to be so much an amateur that he actually DID amend a contract after it was signed. I mean- that one fact has really gotten no publicity. How can you do ANYTHING to a signed contract after the fact, is so below board that any common HR manager anyplace would be fired for that...

Of course it’s TBD, but the bar is damn low on “good things” for Alleva. So far though Wade has done a miriacle.
