If WWL report is true

We need to find a new AD anyway.

Not necessarily just the administration. I wonder what bigs in TAF think or want?

Alleva is not going to give Miles the job security is seeking..

Alleva 13 months ago was getting major heat to fire to Miles...

So..one 11-2 season helps a lot, but it doesn't erase memory.

I doubt Nick Saban worries about Job security...

"Pay me and get out of my office"

But...if Miles is trying to get some kind of "golden security blanket" so that he's under no pressure when one of his brain farts results in a loss, it's time for Alleva to think about parting ways.

No I am saying if the report is true that he wants to stay but wants the administration to have his back and they can't do that then yes the administration will have botched it. I am not naive enough to know that a new contract and terms are also involved in the negotiations but if a man wants to stay and the contract terms are within reason but the administration cant commit to having his back during some tough times against the most fickle fan base this side of Tuscaloosa then our administration will have failed miserably.

I have had some dealings with Alleva, as a former coach, he is a meat-head, not very intelligent and attempts to take the "winning" side before he has gathered all the facts. See the Duke Lacross scandal. He is very cavalier about publicly discussing coaches performances and contracts-quite unusual for an AD. We can certainly do better. I knew everyone on the search committee when he was hired, because of the turmoil the University was undergoing and the impending budget crisis caused by the Governor's lust for the whitehouse, we were not able to lure good candidates for the AD position when Skip stepped down.
