This has played out way too much in the spotlight. We better have the 15 million because the program takes an even bigger hit if Les is coaching next year. We have defaced the face of our program essentially.

Agree. But they have the 15 million.

This is more about who would be the hire.

No way they can bring les back now. Better have their guy.

If Alleva is the one who leaked these rumors after the Arkansas game, he needs to freaking go. He is the boss over there and as much as I wouldn't want him to fire Les, its his call not mine. But to decide to fire a successful coach and to do it like this is just classless. You think LSU deserves better than Les, fine but we damn sure deserve better than Joe too.

Alleva is the one who needs to be canned over how all this was handled.
If we can get Jimbo, sign him up. If not, i think we're better off waiting until next year to see who else is available. Unfortunately there's blood in the water now and most people would be disappointed if that happened.

From the outside the past two weeks have to look like a dumpster fire. Alleva has handled this incredibly poorly and if doesn't get his first choice a lot of this should land on him.

Alleva's job rides on what happens with the next hire.

No... We return a lot of guys on offense which I expect will continue to develop seeing as our offense this year was better than last.

While we may not return as much on defense (in truth no one looks good enough to go pro) the defense cant be much worse...

Plus with Bama losing probably their entire D, Miss State losing Dak, Ole Miss losing everything... Next year actually does look better than this year.


Most on here were crying we would have 2-3 losses anyway this year... When we sart 7-0 against some mediocre teams we all of a sudden think it changes and get mad because we predicted correctly?

Relax. Alleva and the boosters knew what they were doing last week when they let this get out to the media. It's full force ahead moving on now.

They can wait until next Monday to announce they are letting Miles go (or Miles can work a deal and announce it himself this week). I hope the crowd gives him a nice send off Saturday.

Alleva better have a home run hire 100% locked up, before he even floated the rumor of Miles's demise.

Otherwise, he is an idiot.

He has. No way can Les come back next season. The train has already left the ststion and it didn't help that the whole civilzed world knows it now. Its too late to turn back.

I think Alleva "boxed" himself into a corner when miles got him over a barrel when the miles to arky talk started.


I think you mean "painted" though.

Basically crapped in your own bed.

This wasn't the way to handle this at all.

If it comes to Les leaving this year, the next Head Coach will be hired by this so-called basketball AD. He's not the sharpest AD out there and I've never have had any faith in Alleva.

Yep, only way iout is to fire Alleva. And LSU fans thought Miles was the incompetent one down there. The AD Has to make 1-2 big sports decisions every 4-5 years with personnel and this is what we get. Duke all over again. Another complete and pitiful cluster f@!k. He better hope whoever he has lined up takes this gig or the leverage that the new" coach will have will make that Arky play Les made look like kid play.

“‘Joe, you told the players and the parents you believed their story, you believed in them, you believed that they were telling the truth,”‘ Pressler, in the book, recalls saying.
Pressler said Alleva told him it wasn’t about the truth anymore, according to the book passage.
Starting to believe some of this.

If Les is coaching somewhere else next year, they don't need the 15 mil.
