 Alleva didn't pull the trigger on Les a month into the season just to end up losing his #1 target over auxiliary shite.

An AD who has a clue wtf he's doing, Yes. Alleva? I guess we'll soon find out, and i have a bad feeling about it. Just like last year, if there is a way for this to be fricked up, this is the adminstration to look to.

If LSU hires O, the BoS, Alleva, and the all coonassws will get what they deserve. A big pile of wet shite.

Maybe I'm wrong, but IMO all the "O is legitimately in the running" leaks are intentional and a PR ploy to keep O and the team motivated to finish the season strong.

I don't doubt that if he were to win out and our top targets fell through that he would get serious consideration, but I think they've got their guy and had him all along, and the "leaks" that O "is a legit candidate" are calculated and deliberate. And the Fedora mention is for leverage so that Jimbo can't demand $7-$8 million in the final hour.

Makes sense, it's tough to afford nice living quarters for your family on such an insignificant salary....

The housing stipend is to make up for the additional state tax. You can't just give the guy a 8-10% raise because he will lose that to LA. Just give it to him.

If Alleva hired O, we will be the laughing stock of the SEC. Next year will be a 5 loss team.

CalTiger, what's your percentage up to now? I've got 85% for jimbo.

The idiots are running the show again. I still think it was dumb to shell out 9 mil to fight over ed o and Jimbo.

WAYYYY more than just $$ per year. Buyouts, bonuses, assistant allocation... my guy even heard that Jimbo wants a residential stipend as well. 

Anyone else get the awful feeling that this will be one of Alleva's excuses for an O hire?

Please Joe. Just give the man what he wants so we can be on top again.

Yea, O will win all his games this year but lose 5 next year. Makes sense to me.

Well, first of all, he already hasn't won all of his games this year. He has beaten all the shite teams on the schedule and in the one game against a good team they put out a offensive performance reminiscent of the 21-0 game. If they frick up and hire O then don't expect the QB position to improve, it will be more of the same and we will continue to look like arse against teams that can stop the run.

So, what do you do for a living? I mean, I'm sure you have elite NCAA coach-recruiting skills/savvy.....much more so than the people who have done it for the better part of their professional lives.

Seriously, what do you do?

dumb to shell out 9 mil


It's dumb to think LSU has (or will) shell out 9 mil to Miles. They have to keep paying the buyout over the next several years ONLY IF Miles tries to find a coaching job and doesn't get one. When Miles gets a new job, the buyout is reduced by that much.

Just curious...do your sources know each other, or do you discuss anything with one source you heard from another?

Just wondering if you've "cross examined" these guys to see which one you think is right. Which one do you see as more reliable or more of an "insider"?


All the admin/pro O talk is coming from chubby boy (DP)

I dont believe that for one second.. O is not getting this job, and he was never going to get this job. There are literally 50 other candidates that would be better than orgeron..

you're not wrong... thats exactly what it is.. O could have run the table and he wasn't going to be a serious candidate, we were a top 5 team preseason, many picked us to win it all..
