re: Meeting during 3rd quarter of game determined Les Miles staying

Joe Schad can eat a curb

Decision to retain Les Miles was made in meeting of LSU decision makers during 3rd quarter of tonight’s game, per source

If true, we ordered concrete without knowing how much we needed and then waited until it arrived to build the forms.

That's how arse-backwards this would be.

What a joke.

Honestly it's probably a good thing we kept Les bc there's no way you can trust these clowns to make a hire.

schad literally knows less than nothing. people that spew this type of sh!t should be held accountable, and made to state the truth. but espn won't make him do anything.

on espn this morning says that the decision has something to do with the fact that buildings on campus are old and are in need for repair. is he not aware that the athletic dept GIVES money to the school? That the athletic dept takes ZERO state money? Meaning, IF that is the case, you need to be sure the athletic dept gives as much as possible to the school every year.

on a side note, either alleva needs to control the loose lips in the BOS/TAF, or he has to be aware that once you start down the road of changing coaches, you cannot stop. this has been handled very poorly on many levels.

Something went wrong with the Fisher deal Friday or Saturday. Saturday Fisher was reported to have told the president at Florida State that he was staying and had no interest in any other jobs. The word on the street initially was that Fisher’s agent, the somewhat-infamous Jimmy Sexton, had surfaced late in the process with some additional demands which were deal-breakers. But after the game a different word surfaced; namely that it wasn’t Fisher or Sexton who blew up the deal but that it happened on LSU’s end. Specifically, that LSU’s president F. King Alexander blanched at spending the money to hire Fisher.



quote:
It’s also worth mentioning that Alexander blew up a bond issue for the school by crying wolf about “academic bankruptcy” in the spring, before the final budget was passed and no major cuts to his budget were made at all. Not to mention that where LSU is concerned athletics is anything but a distraction for the university as a whole. The athletic department dumps some $8 million per year into the university’s coffers, so investments from donors into athletics which produce victories, championships and revenue function largely as free venture capital for Alexander’s purposes. And yet, if the stories are true, Alexander blew up the hire of a national championship coach whose last four starting quarterbacks heading into this year have all been first-round draft picks to replace Miles – so that he could preserve his Poor F. King Alexander narrative



quote:
When the actual cost to the university for this change would have been exactly nil. Miles’ buyout, to the extent one would have needed to be paid, would have come from voluntary contributions outside the school and any increase in spending on Fisher would have come from increased donations to the school, either voluntarily or courtesy of a Tiger Athletic Foundation ticket surcharge increase the fans would not have objected to.

what if A&M would have made a 4th comeback?
