Who is really at fault for the current DC situation?

I see everyone blaming Alleva and Miles, and they both deserve some of the criticisms IMO. However, everyone needs to take a step back and look at the way Chavis departed, and the problems that has created. By allowing all of the extensions to be signed, and then trying to wait until after the bowl game to inform Miles that he was leaving, Chavis really left LSU in a very bad situation.
By informing Miles so late of his decision and allowing his staff to sign extension, he really handcuffed Miles in two ways. First, several viable candidates had already been hired or signed extensions. Leaving LSU with a limited amount of candidates and a limited amount of time to hire a replacement. Second, if a viable candidate was interested, he's essentially tied to the current staff. That's a problem if you want to hire a known commodity, as they generally like to bring in their own guys.
So, in short, Chavis gave LSU a swift kick to the nuts on his way out the door. In my opinion, he handled the situation very unprofessionally, and this has to be mentioned when discussing LSU's current DC search.

They disrespected him by not matching A&M's offer so he left just like you would leave if your boss did the same to you.

Nobody is blameless, but it goes something like this:
Chavis
Sumlin
Alleva
Miles
Chavis
Sumlin
Alleva
Miles

It thats the list, then Miles deserves more blame for letting a division opponent get the best of him like that.

not sure what you're wtfing
Chavis is the most responsible because he put us in this situation in the first place by leaving
Sumlin is the second most responsible because he gave Chavis the opportunity to do so (and I guess that's to Sumlin's credit)
Alleva gave Chavis the excuse to leave, and is likely part of the reason we haven't made a new hire yet
Miles is last on the list because he doesn't handle contract stuff but he does have some responsibility as he's the one going around interviewing potential candidates

You honestly dont believe that if Miles wanted to keep Chavis, we wouldnt have matched A&Ms offer? Our Football program isnt exactly on par with Middle Tennessee St.

Compare how our AD handled a competing offer for our DC to how Penn State handled our offer to their DC.
That is your answer for whom is to blame.

Exactly, if someone wants to blame Sumlin, then its Miles/Allevas fault for letting it happen. Sumlin is trying to get a better DC.
