If you're reasonable, be fair to Alleva.

We wanted Miles gone. Done. He made Fisher a substantial offer. His agent wanted more. LSU gave more. His agent wanted even more. Alleva moved on and made Herman an offer and had him bagged. Herman's agent blew it leaking the story nationally. Herman wanted LSU to wait on Texas offer for comparison. Alleva told him LSU was not a consolation prize. With a fired up coach already on campus, Alleva told Herman goodbye. He went with O. Alleva tried. Give him a break.

Alleva comes off as a completely limp-wristed weakling with emotional issues if your OP is true

When I hire a new supervisor I don't interview 2 people then say, well since those 2 didn't work out I'll just promote the janitor.

Alleva was an embarrassment at Duke and nothing has changed here

But to be fair, that janitor cleaned 5 out of the 7 rooms pretty well...

He could have still been weak trying to at least ride it out for another day. This is a new level of being a pussy.

2 month head start and only 2 other serious candidates aside from our interim coach. No Alleva doesn't get a break.

There are more than two coaches in the country. Talk to them.

And if Joe wasn't a whiny bitch that let's his pride get in the way he would've realized that this isn't a big deal

Let Herman talk to Texas

If he wants to much money, then fine, look somewhere else

But to just say, "no you can't even glance in another direction" is stupid

O wasn't going anywhere

Give Herman til Sunday at least and make your announcement monday

Alleva lacked either the nuts or the pull to fire Miles in November last year, when Charlie Strong was still comfortably the coach at UT.

Screw him.
