Keep beating this drum all you want. Texas will have the last laugh. Herman has proven to be a HC that can win at the highest level. Zero has not.

I recognize you are trolling, but why?

It's sad LSU hired him.

Did Skip not appoint Smoke as AD? Didn’t Skip have the chance to match Miami’s offer and refuse to do so because he was tired of it every season? Skip was an abysmal AD.

I'll assume this is a troll job, but

quote:

He put his foot down on the Florida hurricane fiasco


No he didn't...he allowed Foley and Shark fricker to make LSU look like the bad guy in all of that. He got played like a fiddle.

quote:

Kept Paul Mainieri when Texas was flirting with him


Just like Les was going to Arkansas.

quote:

Found Will Wade


Nope. Nunez did.

quote:

Upgraded facilities


He tried to go back on his word to Wade about upgrading. Every major program is in an arms race, and LSU isn't at the forefront.

quote:

Herman is a douche. Hiring Orgeron after a pathetic "search" isn't any crowning achievement, though.

He deserves the hate he gets. He, along with F King, has turned LSU football into a program that is no longer elite.

Smoke Laval was NEVER the athletic director at LSU.
I would expect no less from you, however.

How? Short of playing it that weekend no LSU fan was going to be happy. Florida wasn’t playing with a massive storm on the way.

Who was hired by Alleva for such reasons.

Do you have any evidence of this? Our football and baseball facilities are top notch. Our basketball are probably top 4 in the SEC

You’re a fricking moron. Skip knew he was about to become AD and appointed Smoke as the baseball coach.

Joe "I am the search" Alleva's list of possible replacements for Miles had all of 3 names on it


He actively sabotaged the program with the chavis contract and the subsequent DC search after.

And let's not forget he signed off on the Les buyout and extended Cams contract.

I'll play along one more time. Storm was going nowhere near Gainesville. The narrative at first was Florida trying to get out of the game due to injuries. It was quickly turned against LSU, which has been the usual with Alleva in charge. Losing that game with shitty coaching didn't help either.

Dumbass response.

Do you have any evidence that Alleva has made upgrades that are considered top notch?

Yeah. The gymnastics faculty, the basketball practice facility, the upgrades out at football, the continuing upgrades to Alex Box...

Alleva's Incompatancy:

1. Duke Lacrosse Non-scandal
2. Miles to Arky
3. Menari to Texas
4. Jimbo Fisher fail (Twice)
5. Herman fit throwing
6. "I am the search" (Orgeron)
7. Florida fiasco (Butter Teeth)
8. Aramark

All one incident. Alexander undercut him on Fisher at the end of 2015. Point invalid.

Mainieri to Texas


Was real. He held on to a NC coach.

Florida fiasco


Did the best possible considering Florida wasn’t going to play on the scheduled weekend.

quote:

Aramark


Concessions suck everywhere. But he’s locked into a contract. Google the Titans with Aramark. I doubt they’re back next go around.

The worst part is that you’re right. He’s sadly a much better athletic director than Skip, not that it’s saying much.

Oh, the one that was promised to Wade that Alleva tried to go back on? Yeah, he really should be credited with that.
