[quote]Trent failed at recruiting[/quote]
So why did he succeed in recruiting at Stanford? Did he lose his recruiting skills?
Sounds to me like he couldn't sell himself to the coaches or players in THIS state. ...

So those who think every Alleva hire has been great, answer these questions. Why do coaches succeed at one school and fail at another? How responsibile is the A.D. for the success the coaches they hire?
Apprently, if ESPN likes the hire then the AD is in the clear....

I said he should gauge the interest of the person he is hiring before making up his mind. That was the point.
My mistake for leaving out Mainieri. Alleva is definitely 2 for 4....

Don't get me wrong, I want high expectations. But, I am a big believer that many coaches fail because of the situation, not their ability.
I would compare it to the NFL. Jaso...
Alleva's method of hiring
Posted by northlatigazz on 4/12/12 at 9:45 am
It seems to me like Alleva's problem with hiring coaches is that he makes up his mind before he even speaks to the candidate, and the candidate is usually a long shot.
Case 1: Pat Murphy. Alleva shot for the moom and spent the whole time selling LSU to Murphy. Murphy didn't really want the job...

You are right that it does not take long to turn around a basketball program.

So am I reading this correctly?? Alleva is going to choose between Pohm with 1 year's experience using someone else's talent Pastner? Neither having any idea how to build a program tha...

We can't hire these people because they don't want the job. They want a raise where they are. LSU football had to drop down to OK State to get Miles. The SEC is not the best conference in basketball like it is...

Why do we keep using TCU's language for our hire? TCU thinks Trent is a homerun hire.
Too many LSU fans want to make a splash today. All of that will be forgotten by the time we are in November and football is in the top 10. No matter who is hired, the next hc will make his mark from Decembe...
