This report that Alexander interceeded in the firing process at the 11th hour sounds pretty legit ! After seeing and hearing all the public reaction to Miles being fired and the amount of money involved, it did not align very well with his on-going (and true) narrative that the University was in dire need of additional funding. After the state political leadership came out toward the end of the process and started feeling sorry for ole Les, he said NO-we can't go there ! Too Bad - we have to suffer thru a few more years of this ! That's probably one of the reasons he was in the locker room when the announcement was made regarding keeping Miles.

Exactly, why else would the fricking Academic President be in the fricking lockerroom where he does not belong. John Lombardi never did this. Frick Alexander.

His arse should be hung from the gallows with Alleva. The TAF can do whatever the frick they want. It is not STATE taxpayer money! it is PRIVATE MONEY!

Big money just needs to tell him buddy you will pay a price now and defund him cut off his 8 million he gets from the TAF for the academic side. let him go beg and plead the state for help.

I'd laugh if the big money guys got so fed up and said screw it and let the whole thing burn to the ground, even the athletic side(defund) just to prove a point to alleva and the chancellor and any future assclowns trying to tell the TAF what to do.

What makes any reporting on this story believable?

I seriously doubt the validity of this reporting.

He stepped in for a number of reasons.. Perception and trust being the top two.. Once the original plans fell through he felt and this is debatable but probably true that Alleva wasn't capable of making a better hire than what was already in place.. Alleva would have also probably spent heavy on a search firm which also adds to the problems of perception and trust.. Alleva seems to have been put in his place for his ineptness during the past few weeks,

These public sector and academic dolts have a hard time comprehending that you need to spend money to make money. The $8 million Alabama is paying Saban is the biggest bargain out there when you realize the rewards they reap by having him.

The Four Horsemen of LSU's Apocalypse.

Jindal. Fortunately already fired.
Alexander. Needs to be fired.
Aleva. Needs to be fired.
Miles. Soon to be fired.

It appears that Alexander may have axed the buyout plan last Wednesday......so maybe we never even got very far with Jimbo after all.

quote:

UPDATE: Per a follow-up conversation with a source close to the athletic program, one change to make – it wasn’t Saturday morning when Alexander tubed the buyout of Miles; it was Wednesday. But for the same reason.

We’re also told that Alleva actually told Miles his job was no longer in jeopardy after Alexander’s scuppering of the buyout, but the coach didn’t believe him. Which explains the rather strange and chaotic circumstance whereby Miles implied to his Friday Gridiron Club luncheon guests that he was on his way out and the athletic department had to hastily deny reports which surfaced to that effect out of that meeting.

People need to understand that all the new construction and improvements in and around LSU are DIRECTLY related to the success LSU football has had in the last 15 years.
Investing into keeping the football program top tier should be a priority, because thats what brings in the bucks for other things.

Like I said, guy should be fired. Sports have nothing to do with politics. He should be gone and then the new President can fire Alleva. Alleva has no power now. What a joke.
