Was Alleva's absence at presser any indicator of a potential firing?

Probably not but one can hope. At least he wasn't there saying adamantly that JJ will be the coach next season

if it was a chance for johnny to speak confidently about what went wrong and how he's going to fix it, he failed miserably.

That's what Im hoping . Jones said he had spoken to him by phone if I remember his answer right and paraphrasing Jones I believe he said that Alleva was "not too thrilled" but then he added that neither was he. We can only hope that Alleva not meeting with him is a possible indication of a firing. Bama waited no time in letting Anthony Grant go and of course TCU has already fired Trent who has been there the same length of Jones at LSU.

No, he is on an NCAA committee.

Joe felt when the question was asked "why do you still have a job?" it would create confusion between he and Jones, so he stayed away

I suspect he didn't want to chance a possible 30 for 30 question.

I don't know, but am I reading too much into the fact that Kent Lowe was seated next to him wearing a hat that said "Interim Coach"?

Both wouldn't be a bad thing. That presser cost Jones any support that I had left for him. Tough decisions need to be made quickly.

We've had two clown hires when we could have hired Tony Bennett. I blame the hirer not the hired.

Alleva has responsibilities associated with being on the basketball selection committee. That's why he wasn't there.
