If Les does leave this is what Alleva needs to look for

I hate the thought of Alleva heading up a search based on his history of hiring basketball coaches. However, if he has to I propose three characteristics he needs to look for:
1. Won a championship at some level either as an assistant or head coach. I'm not saying Super Bowl or National Title - would be great- but some sort of championship.
2. A reputation as a great recruiter. This is a must. LSU cannot afford to hire a "so-so" recruiter.
3. The ability to bring excitement to an increasingly apathetic fan base. Whether it be by reputation, personality or style of play the fan base desperately needs a shot in the arm. A Mike Riley type - while a great coach - would be a PR disaster.
This "potential" hire would be more important than the Miles hire was. The program just doesn't have the momentum behind it that it did when Miles took over. A misstep could have LSU in the wilderness for a few years.

The prospect of Alleva being tasked with hiring a football coach should terrify any LSU fan.
We would likely end up with someone like Nutt or Tuberville.

Patterson would be a great choice.

Multiple Championships.

Wow these are some unique coaching characteristics.
Every school in the country wants a coach with the attributes you described.

I had the low football IQ fans that would feeding at the "new coach" trough in mind when I wrote it. Hell, we have people who think Mike Leach would be a great hire.

1. Make Jimbo say no.
2. Then go to Patterson from TCU Make him say no.
3. Then go to Dan Mullens say no
4. Jim Mora
That is my top 4.
