also see some good in Joe, but the ability to hire a major head coach in football (with Ch. Alexander and the current BOS) is a very tall order and frankly outside his skill set.

I find this interesting. People bang on Joe a lot. However, when I look at his hires, I don't see them as bad as others do. He did hire Cut at Duke, Duke is having the most success in football in years. He hired Trent, Trent is one of 7 undefeated coaches right now at t.c.u., he's won conference championships in pac 12, s.e.c., and can do it in the big 12 this year. Trent also left lsu in decent shape for jones. He hired Johnny Jones, This appears to be our best b.b. team since trent's first year and he is improving the b.b. team each year. (we are in year three). He hired beth torino, she appears to be a future rock star in the softball. she already has one c.w.s. appearance and recruits like all get out. He hired caldwell, well, it doesn't appear to be working here at lsu. However, she was a rockstar at u.c.l.a. when he hired her. She was suppose to be a can't miss.

So, we can give him a failing grade for Caldwell. Outside of that, i'm not sure why people feel he can't hire a good coach. I think the people that don't like him, don't because he hasn't fired les miles. However, he was in the process of doing as such in 2010. That year miles won 10 games and tied joe's hands. In 2011 he went 13-0. Yet, these people feel he should have been fired after the 14th game. so what do you do?

Alleva was on his way out when cutcliffe was hired. May not be directly because of him.

The coach before cutcliffe was a failure. The baseball coach at duke was a failure, he even stood by him after it was found out he was giving steroid to his players. So far alkeva hasn't made one good hire. To think Trent Johnson was good is laughable. Jones can recruit, but so far these teams don't look like they are coached very well.
