Alleva "floated" the story early in the week. There seems to be some major friction with Miles and was this a "warning shot" by Alleva to show Miles who's boss?

So now that the TAF wheels might be turning for real...is it possible that Alleva really didn't intend to let Miles go until next year?

Well, that's what happens when you forget to sign correspondence with "Sike!"

It's possible Alleva doesn't know what the hell he's doing and should never have been hired. Possible

Maybe when it was first leaked after the Bama game. Perhaps it was leaked to hopefully get a spark in Les and get it into gear.

But after the last 2 games, it's clear that Miles is done and we will be making some moves once the season ends.

But no, I don't think Alleva really wanted to keep Les for next year.

Wouldn't go somfar as to say its gotten out of hand but should have handled it a lot better. If this does back fire and blows up on lsu he might have to be relocated to the other side of the world.

There has been big friction between Alleva and Miles for quite some time...

this all started last year, when chavis was forced out, by the stipulation in his contract. I don't think alleva had any intentions of keeping miles longer than the end of the 2016 season, it just so happened that les completely tanked after the bama game this year, which made his case even stronger. having said that, I hope alleva was prepared to move fast, because shite unraveled rather quick. he simply can't afford to make the wrong hire, because in the end, his job could be on the line too (in the long run).

Good news is, if this program sinks back into the dark ages because of Alleva's incompetence, then I'll have a lot more free saturdays!

Glass half full kinda guy.

If Alleva doesn't go with Miles, look for more of the same old story.

This board will always find a reason to bitch.

If Alleva did actually float the story it was a pretty genius in my opinion. The fans want Miles gone. The fans were all apathetic bc we also thought we were stuck with miles for a few more years. The worst part about firing a coach with Miles past success if the PR reaction firing a winning coach. However the local and national media didn't seem to take miles side in the matter. Then Miles lays another fricking egg at Ole Miss. So Alleva and the fans get what we want which is Miles shown the door without the media ripping it apart. All the fans and writers saying Miles should get one more year have no fricking clue how this business works. You will frick up 2 years of recruiting giving someone 'one last shot'.

Alleva "floated" the story? Have you actually read any of the stories. BOS members have been quoted talking to the media.

I'll just repost something I said from Saturday night

quote:

It's in Joe's hands now. He will either save face or sign his own walkin papers pending how this goes down. I predict the latter and both get replaced with Les being first. The timing of the departures will be the what determines how ugly this gets. We all know Les is stubborn and Joe is arrogant.


The more I think about it, this does to appear to be something that has been in the works for a couple years now. Joe likely felt spurned after the last extension and has been looking to make this move for a while. Either way it is time for both to move on.

More like influential LSU backers demanding that the program stay competitive instead of being run into the ground by a mediocre, mired in the past stubborn head coach.
