Joe Alleva and TAF boosters make a push to fire miles. The most substantial rumor is that Jimbo was ready to make the move from FSU to LSU after the 2015 season.


You're missing the most important part:

Joe leaked it to the press to gauge public reaction, which to me proved that he was completely unfit to lead an athletic department of an SEC school.

This is the biggest mistake he made and it continues to hurt our reputation. We may be excited for the future but it's absolutely understandable how national media is reacting to this. How could anybody be surprised? When UGA fired Richt, they didn't flip flop and fight some sort of tug of war in the school admin, letting it all leak out into the public. They quietly squeezed the trigger - LIKE A MAJOR UNIVERSITY ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT IS SUPPOSED TO DO.

It's some bush league bullshite from a big school and isn't at all surprising how everyone is reacting to it. What did y'all think was going to happen?

I hate Joe and bash the man all the time, i do think he is in over his head but his plan to fire miles seems to have worked very well this time. He had it prepared and we executed it this time.

I think Joe leaked shite, but with the firing of the michigan guy that worked in football ops, I'm wondering if that guy was the actual leak. Its just random to fire les, have O fire cam and then we just fire a random ops guy.

This is new info to me and it doesn't paint Alleva in a positive light.

Absolutely not correct, Alleva had the greenlight and the money and didnt need to gauge anything. The truth about how far the program had gotten off the road is coming.
