If that's true, why don't you just wait till Saturday evening and see what they counter offer?
It's not like we had a timetable with Orgeron. You lose nothing.
Ego is why. Alleva didn't want to feel bullied so he pulled the offer.
That's shitty negotiating IMO. Put your pride away, you do what's best for the University.

Agreed. What's reported is exactly what I thought happened. Someone that operates on emotion has no business being in negotiations of this magnitude.

That's what Alleva never realized. This is what you do when you fire a coach, you have to play the game with the top candidates, you don't get mad because they're negotiating with you. Things change on an hour-to-hour basis during a potential coaching hire. You come back with a counter-offer.
If this was the guy you think is going to put LSU over the top, you match Texas every step of the way and make Herman say no. Don't simply bitch out because things aren't going your way.
Man, this makes LSU look really bad.

BS. Alleva saw he writing on the wall: Hermans agent was trying to initiate bidding war likely even leveraging LSU to get more concessions from Texas.
Alleva said no thanks, and when you have a guy like Orgeron lined up, you don't have to take those kinds of risks, esp think of the image hit Alleva and LSUnwould have taken if the scenario i articulated actually played out. LSU would have been played like a drum.
Alleva handled this one masterfully.

What is so obvious is that you like countless others on this site have NEVER negotiated anything in their lives.
But, you decide to way in on the subject anyway.
