Look, I fricking hate Alleva and believe he should be canned immediately, but I can't help but think about how things would be if Alleva would've went ahead and fired Les earlier and THEN got played by Sexton & Fisher following that. With no Les to fall back on, imagine how bad Alleva would've shite the bed if he couldn't get Jimbo.

It can always get worse. Keeping Miles was the best option with the least amount of consequences. He may shock the hell out of us next year, who knows.

Once Alleva had gone down that route, the only thing he could do was to fire Miles and look for someone else. He was at a point of no return. If he had hired the homeless guy at Circle K and he could have still had some respect left. Now he just looks like a moron.

Minus the disguise part, yes. Wins over Texas A&M are always good.

I think it comes down to the fact that the only guy they were willing to pay Les' ridiculous buyout for was Jimbo Fisher. When it was obvious that wasn't happening, they stuck with Les

Could all of this be a blessing in disguise?


One day in late summer, an old farmer was working in his field with his old sick horse. The farmer felt compassion for the horse and desired to lift its burden. So he left his horse loose to go the mountains and live out the rest of its life.

Soon after, neighbors from the nearby village visited, offering their condolences and said, "What a shame. Now your only horse is gone. How unfortunate you are!. You must be very sad. How will you live, work the land, and prosper?" The farmer replied: "Who knows? We shall see".

Two days later the old horse came back now rejuvenated after meandering in the mountainsides while eating the wild grasses. He came back with twelve new younger and healthy horses which followed the old horse into the corral.
Word got out in the village of the old farmer's good fortune and it wasn't long before people stopped by to congratulate the farmer on his good luck. "How fortunate you are!" they exclaimed. You must be very happy!" Again, the farmer softly said, "Who knows? We shall see."

At daybreak on the next morning, the farmer's only son set off to attempt to train the new wild horses, but the farmer's son was thrown to the ground and broke his leg. One by one villagers arrived during the day to bemoan the farmer's latest misfortune. "Oh, what a tragedy! Your son won't be able to help you farm with a broken leg. You'll have to do all the work yourself, How will you survive? You must be very sad". they said. Calmly going about his usual business the farmer answered, "Who knows? We shall see"

Several days later a war broke out. The Emperor's men arrived in the village demanding that young men come with them to be conscripted into the Emperor's army. As it happened the farmer's son was deemed unfit because of his broken leg. "What very good fortune you have!!" the villagers exclaimed as their own young sons were marched away. "You must be very happy." "Who knows? We shall see!", replied the old farmer.

tl/dr: I honestly cant come up with a good enough bad thing to compare joe alleva to, he shouldn't be trusted to mop the floors at a peep show. He should be the next president of Mizzu.
