The masses that want your head, are just the mob that need someone to blame..... but they are blaming the wrong person.

It isn't your fault LSU administration plays political games and fricked up the athletic department.

I said Jimbo was in and we'd land him. And I was only half right. And that's not good enough. Jimbo WAS in and ready. LSU higher ups got cold feet at the very last minute...and called the deal off. The price tag was too high when it came down to it. I'll admit tho, I claimed he'd be the guy in 16 and I was wrong. If you think, however, that I was trolling the whole time and Jimbo was never in play...then you are sorely mistaken. I apologize tho for the outcome. I still stand by my ppl and their information. I deserve the ridicule I have received and will continue to receive. Hopefully no hard feelings. I promise I was as shocked as anyone about how it went down.


And that is how you man up.
Well Done!!

Random, I was hearing from about 3 different places the same info. It wasn't all the exact same, but you could connect the dots from all the pieces. There's no way the people I was hearing things from were "duped" by any posts of yours. So many people in the LSU community was hearing much of the same info.

I think we're all pissed it didn't happen.

I'd be speculating there Les.

I think LSU people felt confident they had him and backed out. Now whether or not that was due to an FSU counter, we'll see.

Once Jimbo was out, so was firing Les.

if we're going by OP, money seemed like the issue, was just curious if anything else has been said

Yep, and then it took LSU and Alexander all day to figure out what was plan B. When they saw the crowd and fan reaction to Miles' swan song, and the ESPN reaction, Alexander pulled the plug.

It appears to me that Jimmy Sexton has tried a few times to push a last minute homerun of some type in his clients' contracts and has burned a few deals.

Yeah I just don't know if I buy that. Could be possible that Sexton's counter could have pissed them off once they thought a deal was reached. Could be spin.

Don't they say ad's have a list of guys in their desk drawer? Alleva could only come up with one guy. Mother of God we are truly fricked.

Maybe they can spend the offseason coming up with some names...next year there will be no sentimental fans.

Alexander is a West Coast Liberal, he believes higher education should get all the money it can from the govt. He felt it would jeopardize his position of begging for handouts and less cuts to his budget if LSU started dropping Texas money.

We have the money, take a look around campus and the stadium. The money comes from private boosters not the school. The more educated of us know that. Alexander hitched his wagon to cheap horse.

More like if you're going to pay les to go away it needs to be a Jimbo level hire.

Plugged in people respect Herman, but it's still a big time gamble.

IMO, no way was money an issue unless there was a last minute effort to increase the deal that screwed the deal instead.

I think Sexton played with fire and got burned.
