Derick E. Hingle-USA TODAY Sports

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.

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.

Joe needs to Geaux!!!

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.

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.

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

Philzilla2k•70 months

One could only hope

magicman0001•70 months

He should've been gone a LONG time ago.. along with Les Miles.

Lostrabbit822•70 months

Don't hate on Les Miles. He gave his heart and soul to LSU and maintained a level of success for over a decade in the toughest division in college football. He may not have been the best X's and O's guy and his play calling was questionable at times, but you take away going for it on 4th down 5 times against Florida and calling a passing play to beat Auburn in 2007, then LSU probably doesn't win the national championship. Les deserves some appreciate from LSU fans.

say what?

fallguy_1978•70 months

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

Why would you assume O will go down in flames?
