Job well done by AD Joe Alleva.
You have got to admit he had called all the right moves here.
1. Leaving Johnny Jones for too long to make sure no one was going to games and we were able to achieve worst SEC Record ever and justify replacing him.
2. Homerun hire - Will Wade.
3. Leaving Les Miles for too long.
4. Homer hire - Ed Orgeron.

Homer hire for Ed Orgeron?

I think lazy and cheap is more like it. I don’t believe for a second Joe thinks Ed was the best man for the job, just the easiest to get.

I disagree, I think he was lazy also, cheap and over his head. Alleva let ego dictate his own coaching search. There is no reason why we cannot be a contender in all major collegiate sports.

What do we expect? We hired Duke's AD.

He will begin the funding transition from football to basketball soon if he hasn't already.

Looking forward to our version of the Cameron Crazies! PMAC Psychos?

IMO, all his moves deserve a big, BIG except for accidentally hiring Wade as BB Coach. And that was probably not really due to Alleva's efforts so much as Wade's initiative in applying at the right moment.

Too early for anything that isn't football.

So maybe the third basketball hire will pan out?

Cheap to have. Expensive to get rid off.

Pretty shitting philosophy on Alleva's part. What the frick was O going to do if he had a small buyout to go along with his small salary? Say no? It's not like ANY other school was after him.

Well we sure hell know it won't become a lacrosse school as long as Alleva is here.
