Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

ESPN College Football analyst Chris Low joined Bo Mattingly's radio show “Sports Talk With Bo Mattingly” on Thursday and said that LSU athletic director Joe Alleva "might be on the hotter seat," compared to head coach Ed Orgeron,

Thoughts?

Alleva has been the Athletic Director at LSU since 2008. He made the decision to fire former head coach Les Miles after 12 seasons in September of 2016 and named Ed Orgeron the full-time head coach in November of 2016.

He pulled in Wade. He can leave now.

Ponchy Tiger•69 months

Joe didn’t have much to do with courting Will Wade. That work was done by Eddie Nunez

STRIPES•69 months

Aleva is going nowhere.

Football drives everything. If Skip was still AD and football tanked they would fire him.

powertripped•69 months

It’s really not. Coach o will be safe this year with 7-8 wins. Looking at what lsu lost, this years schedule, new OC and a top 5 class coming.

Nix to Twillie•69 months

I miss the days when these were widely dismissed as lame excuses. Remember why they fired the last guy?

Seriously, if we go 7-5, you don't think the die hard fans with money aren't going to be pissed? I'm not an O hater at all, but even I can say he needs to go if that happens. His seat will be piping hot. People already don't like him... Go 8-5 or 7-6 I don't believe he could make it through another season...

UpstairsComputer•69 months

Sorry, one more thing, last year was his mulligan. If it goes the wrong direction this year (at least 9 wins) he's in trouble next season.

I can't believe he's been with LSU a decade.

Simply bcs Alleva’s contract is up first it’s probably accurate that his seat is hotter. However if Alleva is removed O’s seat is hot hot. No other AD would hire him nor would a new AD tie themselves to him.

Four Leaf Tayback•69 months

This is 100% correct. Alleva’s future is directly tied to O’s. If O is unsuccessful, Alleva goes first. When a new AD comes in there is no way he retains O. If O is successful, both are safe. We’ll see. I hope for the programs sake he is successful but I have my doubts. That doesn’t mean I’m a “hater”. Until he shows he can win big and be consistent, many will have the same opinion.

Dave England•69 months

nah , you're a hater brah. If you don't blindly believe O can go 15-0, you're a hater.

ESPN is Fake News!!!

Might be on the hotter seat? He knows no more than any other pundit.

Hangit•69 months

Correct. Might be on the hotter seat says nothing. We are having ice cream today that might be vanilla. Two cars might have wrecked head-on into each other. More information is needed.

Philzilla2k•69 months

One could only hope

Barbellthor•69 months

No joke.

reo45•69 months

Neaux kidding

fallguy_1978•69 months

Alleva will go before O. No way they let him hire the next coach assuming O goes down in flames.

CDawson•69 months

Why would you assume O will go down in flames?

Joe needs to Geaux!!!

Chimlim•69 months

Good it needs to be. He royally messed up firing Miles in 2015, then in 2016 we were supposed to get a head start on a coaching search, which he didn't really do and ended up promoting Miles' D-Line coach after not really searching.

texastigerr•69 months

Not hot enough because he's still here.
