Alleva might be a buffoon but I wonder if he's picked up on some of O's "quirks" and realized he's fricked. Assume Canada was an Alleva directive. Everything O did regarding Canada now looks like a giant frick you.

I just hope Alleva gets it right.
Alleva tried to fire Miles in 2015 and then crawfished.
Alleva fired Miles in 2016 and had 3 months to find a new coach and hired our DL coach that was completely out of football a few years prior.
Alleva hired Trent Johnson, Johnny Jones and Nikki Fargas.

I have full faith in Joe Dean - I mean Alleva - to make a solid OC hire.

Well, I can't rule that out, but I'm still of the belief that Alleva and O are very dear friends. I really believe that.

Agree, but one can hope. Plus, Alleva did get it right with will wade.

First, Alleva didn't do jack to get Will Wade. Posters need to stop giving him credit.

And secondly, even if Alleva birthed Will Wade and raised him to be LSU's MBB HC, Alleva hired 2 failures before Wade. Getting 1 out of 3 right isn't something to be proud of as an AD.

As much as I dislike Alleva and his past gaffes, I’m glad to see this. I don’t think he is going to let O hire another BBQ buddy.

If this decreases the chance of SE being promoted then i’m for it

Let’s not forget it was JA who hired Will Wade

I'm not so optimistic. I believe it's going to be Ensminger because that's who O wants. Alleva is not going to hire anyone that puts friction with him and HC especially considering how Canada went down. Alleva is only making it appear like he's actually doing his job when the real plan is to keep the good ole boys network rolling fully ahead. This is LSU politics.



Have to agree. O and Alleva's fortunes are tied together. If one is out the other will follow.

It won’t be Emsinger! That’s the good news.

The bad news is “he is the search”.

What a shite show.

O shouldn't hire Ensminger. The athletic director also shouldn't have any say so in the head coaches search for his coaching staff outside of "yes we can or no we can't hire this guy."

It's ridiculous. If you can't trust the guy you hired to fill out his own staff...why the hell was he hired in the first place?
