Nope. It was Nunez who hired him and it will be Alleva’s fault when he leaves for sitting on his arse for two years with zero facilities upgrades

No. Wade sought out the job and Nunez facilitated.

Alleva deseves credit (even if it was his third hire and first two failed), but as said above if he keeps holding back and WW leaves..big problem..

Sure, too bad he hired him on the 3rd try vs the first.

I'm just curious. How many Alleva hires have won a national championship?

Still basically a wash on basketball. You do realize he hired Trent Johnson and Johnny Jones....JJ honestly I don’t fault him for , that was going to happen eventually to satisfy Dale, Alleva should have actually hired JJ, when he hired Johnson and just got it over with. Trent Johnson was absolutely awful in every aspect, no idea how he conned TCU into hiring him after Lsu

He still sucks.

Do you know who Sterling Shepard is? Or do you still think he’s Russell Shepard?

Alleva is certainly a moron but I've talked to Mr. Nunez. He is no intellectual marvel himself. I think we may have just got lucky with Will Wade.

Alleva had zero to do with Alleva hiring Wade. He fell into his lap because of Nunez

That's idiotic. Nunez couldn't hire anyone and no authority to negotiate terms. That's just the narrative a lot of folks have perpetuated. It's stupid to think Alleva didn't have a role in bringing Wade to LSU.
As for Wade leaving, it won't be because of money or LSU being cheap. It would occur because a true Basketball blue blood would seek him out and make an him an offer he couldn't refuse or perhaps his alma mater.

To be fair, he gets credit for actually listening to Nunez. He's literally said "I am the Search" once, so props for wisely delegating.
