I'm hearing that Alleva wants Orgeron to earn the job so he can name him the head coach. Big boosters got wind of this and have made it known that they want a proven head coach. I'm told LSU will soon be hiring a search firm to do a national coaching search.

If O beats Bama and we hire a search firm this is going to turn into a shite show and we'll be hiring Tommy fricking Tuberville.

IF a firm is hired, that will say a lot bout JA's lack of power, as he made it clear immediately after firing CLM that he would be responsible for picking the next HC. This won't be kept a secret, it will come out if true. At this point I trust the "big boosters" at LSU as much as I trust the GOPe. Not at all.

I don't like the sound of this. If we hire a search then it starts to look every but the shite show we had last November. What A list coach would walk into that?

Best news I've heard since the job opened up if true.

When you're making a decision as important as this why wouldn't you hire some fresh, disinterested eyes to evaluate the coaching pool? Doesn't mean you have to take their word as gospel but it's the prudent thing to do as part of due diligence.

UGH South Carolina, Missouri, Miami, Georgia, UCF, Rutgers, and Iowa State all used search firms for their current HC position last season.

I don't trust firms to get the job done. Hell they were going to hire Rich Rod for Bama.

IF what you say is accurate, alleva is a lot dumber than i thought. Hire the firm then! Still have a hard time believing he will risk his future as AD on coach o, assuming other options are still available to him.

This is great news.

A search firm will help vett the candidates.

Joe A can still have the final say.

Alleva is NOT hoping O earns the job. He wants a sitting HC . Fact!

A national search firm is standard in a coaching search. The AD does not conduct the background checks and other run of the mill type due diligence on every candidate. That's why a firm is hired.

This is standard operating procedure in any significant hiring.

As feared - already turning into a self induced cluster orgy. They should have settled on a hire by now. The Aleva/King Team now stand a good chance of having to settle for a second tier or lower choice due to dragging their feet.
