The reality is that great leadership is rare in academics and other industries. LSU and Louisiana are not top destinations for talented leaders. However, every once in awhile, a strike of luck happens and you hire someone like Emmert while they are ascending the ranks to bigger and greater things. Mark got us Saban, and the rest is history. We are now witnessing the regression to our mean that is our destiny after those two leaders left LSU. Its damn painful to watch. Its possible that we don't hit that big again during our lifetimes. Orgeron was never a head coach and Alleva is a Duke-reject administrator. If you believe otherwise, you are going to be on the wrong side of history. I'll hang up and listen to the response ;-).

F. King Alexander didn’t hire Alleva. The BOS that hired F. King Alexander was in large part appointed by Jindal. The current BOS is still made up of predominately Jindal appointees. You want to make political statements, at least get the facts in order.

The reality is that no team can stay near the top forever.

Lakers, Bulls, the Mavs, the Saints, Nebraska, Florida, Miami, and even Alabama. Ups and downs come with every single program.

Even under the best coach we’ve ever had, we lost more than 3 games like 6/11 times. He won a chip with Saban players.

In retrospect Skip Bertman was the worst hire AD hire in LSU history.
