The manner in which this whole thing was handled from Alleva on down was nothing short of embarrassing, disgraceful, and chicken shite. frick that guy for screwing with recruits and the reputation of LSU.

From the leak to the silence, this crap made LSU look really stupid nationally. Les wasn't the one that looked retarded. The higher ups did.

So, when people want to lay blame on Les, let this be a lesson to you where true retardation resides in all this.

Alleva didn't make idiot BOS members and boosters gumflap to the media, though.

LSU looks really stupid because LSU is really stupid.

I blame Les for his shitty offense and shitty QB recruiting and development and his shitty stubborness. Not for fricking up the coaching hire

you clearly don't understand how life works. Blame goes to BOS and boosters. Alleva takes his direction from BOS. He is not some rogue operative with total control. Want to blame someone, blame Alleva's bosses and the boosters.

What did you want from the AD, the truth that he was trying to fire miles?

You teally gonna blame JA when it's the media that created the shite storm?
As for recruits, thought that was one of Les' strengths? He can convince anyone to come here, right? I think the lackluster performance does more to hurt recruiting than anything an AD says.

After the way he handled the Duke Lacrosse fiasco what makes anyone think he would get this or anything else right?

Alleva could be given a house made of asbestos and manage to burn it to the ground.

Look at how things played out with Richt.

The rumors that Richt were in trouble surfaced back in October. Then silence.

That's how you pull off a coaching change.

How would you have handled it?

Have the AD come out and say that we are trying to replace with JF, but will keep Les if that does not work out?

His clock management and QB development alone has made LSU look retarded way before any of this happened.

If Les Miles walked out tomorrow saying that he was retiring, I would not trust Alleva and the big money boosters not to screw up the process. I always thought so and that's been reinforced after this week.

My main hope is that when CLM does actually leave (if he's fired or retires or what) that we have an AD with fricking balls at that point in time. Otherwise, our hiring process will look like Texas' did post-Mack but probably even worse. We'll have boosters going off on their own trying to get someone almost impossible to get, and when that almost impossible hire is indeed impossible, they'll have made such a muck of everything that no one decent will touch us...and we'll end up with a Dinardo if we're lucky.

Yes, the boosters fricked up by shooting off their mouths, but if reports are true and they went around the Athletic Department in contacting Fisher and tried to force things:

1) they helped demonstrate that they view Alleva as weak and a puppet (he is, IMO), and that fact being so openly broadcast that fact *might* just make some coaches think twice about coming here (see Texas/Mack);

2) that they are dumb as stumps--or at least have not watched coaching searches at other major colleges over the last decade--for not having a plan b, c, and d...and even e. Once they put the 'we're going to fire CLM' thing in motion, they needed to stick with it no matter how it played out. To have everything fold because they had nothing other than plan a shows that they are even more incompetent than CLM;

3) and they also very badly misjudged how this would play out in the local and national media. CLM is liked, if not respected, and broadcasting the decision to fire him partway through a subpar but not losing season wasn't going to play well in the national narrative. If they realized this, they would have kept their mouths shut (see: Georgia, 2015, Richt).

Alleva isn't Joe Dean, but he's getting damn near close.
