Why the fuch did we hire O then?


Alleva tells us what we want to hear.

Miles was a yankee, some didn't like that; he hires Ogeron and brags about how it was a great fit.

When they let go of Trent Johnson, it was said he was a bad fit and JJ was a good fit. At least that's what the Dale Brown cabal pushed.

Now Joe is reacting to that, he isn't going to be pushed into a good fit this time, he's going for a "proven winner" like guess who, Trent Johnson.

Basically Alleva is just telling us what we want to hear. This is his third Men's hoop hire, and he has a poor track record. What else can he say?

He meant to say JJ was a fit is a joke.

I bet Joe walked away from that presser and told Bonnette, Lowe and the rest of his team, "Nailed It," and "Guys, that's how you handle a press conference." Clueless, Incompetent, and Arrogant
And of course, none of the "Gutless Wonder" media people there pressed him for legitimate answers and follow-up questions. Only "Soft Ball" stuff as usual. Now where's the food?.

Should be more concerning that he said he would conduct this search in similar fashion as the disastrous football coaching search.

After I keep hearing the fit comments, Alleva didn't want to fire Jones. Condescending, smart arse.

I'm on board with the O hire. But as soon as I heard him say this in today's presser, my stomach turned. Regardless of wat happens with Coach O, I have very little confidence that Alleva is the right "fit" for the AD job.
Better contact FKA and BOS with complaints about JA, because they are the only ones that can do anything about him.

I think we could make a pretty good case for his dismissal on grounds of negligence. (Just put together a master list of JA mistakes, incompetence and dysfunction) Wouldn't be a difficult task at all.........................

Time wasn't running out.

Ed O was a panic hire due to the fact that ADA Jack McCoy hadn't done his due diligence.

Like I've been saying: reassign him to some plush "director of fundraising" position and bring home Radakovich

And if joe isn't cool with that? Tell him to kick fricking rocks. The guy is pure shite and deserves nothing but the worst going back to the Duke situation.

F. King Alexander is still here. Whoever the AD is will have a problem trying to make a hire because this guy likes to take over anything in the spotlight.

The term "Joe Alleva" is a joke.

Alleva has put every sport in the ditch. But LSU makes money, and that is his barometer

There is so much wrong with this 1 sentence.


1. We were, by months, the 1st program to fire their HC.
2. If our 3rd choice was a coach that had never been a successful coordinator or head coach then Alleva should be fired just for that.

I'm still surprised at the amount of support - any - that Alleva still gets from fans.
