Satisfied with mediocrity & no accountability - The Joe Alleva Story

How is either basketball coach still employed?
Is it acceptable now for the once-dominant LSU baseball program to have a rebuilding year? What happened to national powers reloading (see Bama football)?
Has any member of the media asked about these things?

Make LSU Athletics Great Again

why do these threads seem to pop up every time we lose a midweek baseball game?

Yes.
And it's "dominant".

As for basketball... Your guess is a good as mine. The sooner Jones is gone, the better.

When Les Miles was given his last contract revision Alleva said "it is not about winning Championships but being in the hunt for them", or something to that effect. You can argue that at any point in any teams season they are "in the hunt" for a Championship until they are not. So according to the standards that he laid out for the coach in the most important sport financially at LSU, year in and year out all sports are meeting his goals and are not mediocre. It's all about what you expect and accept, just as in life.

I understand that we dominated a decade, and we are still today looked at as great program, and people are disappointed with postseason success, but this is one of the stupidest questions I've ever read.

King is more concerned with making LSU look poor. No one is going to be fired.

Let's see,
Johnny Jones has had more success inheriting a terrible situation when Trent left and has done better than anyone since Dale Brown. Just because a lottery pick could not should the load and lead this team at the end of the schedule does not mean Jones hasn't been successful.
PM inherited the mess Smoke left, this program Skip had built was on life support. PM changed the culture and you can't argue with this teams success long term.
If not for Saban going to Bama, Miles has been fine.
Alleva does need to go though.

The board gave us Alleva and Fking. Blame them.

Glad you could bring some new thoughts to the Rant. Usually we get the same thing over and over.

It's called the LSU 4th Quarter Collapse
75% into LSU Football's schedule the (7-0) Tigers lost to Bama and collapsed the rest of the season winning just 1 remaining regular season game. (25% winning percentage)
78% in the LSU Basketball schedule the (16-9) Tigers lost to Bama and collapsed the rest of the season winning just 2 remaining regular season games. (33% winning percentage)
Last night (27-13) LSU was going into 74.5% of the schedule played losing to Tulane. So its acceptable if the Baseball team falls apart with the remaining games on the year.

Yes. Do you realize how many players (great ones, too) we lost from last year? It's cyclical. Calm down.

Do you understand how asinine it is that this is the standard? Bama's current football dynasty will go down as one of, if not THE, greatest stretch of college football in the sport's history. That is not the norm. That is the exception. That should not be expected from any program anywhere. It just so happens that this rare dynasty is happening not only in the same conference as LSU, but the same division. And with a former LSU coach.
Johnny Jones improved the basketball program drastically from where it was when Trent Johnson left. This past season was a major disappointment, no doubt. But after three years of notable improvement, you dont give the guy one year to rebuild himself?
I agree Nikki needs to be gone. That program has been trending downward for three years.
The state of LSU athletics is certainly not at its pinnacle currently but its also definitely not time to start burning down buildings. Everyone take a deep breath.

Hey Joe is busy at the Zurich pro am, he doesn't have time for trivial coaching issues
Posted on 4/27/16 at 2:36 pm to GeismarGeauxer
Hey didnt you leave out the part where Alleva tried to do something about the mediocrity in football?
Posted on 4/27/16 at 2:57 pm to GeismarGeauxer
I told my wife this morning that LSU pays a premium for mediocre results. Miles, Mainieri, and Jones should be an a major hot seat. Fargas should have been fired.
