My question is, with the way it played out, what the hell was Alleva doing for the past two months?


It made absolutely no sense to have an opening in Sept.. no real candidate was going to commit until mid-november at the earliest, they were going to see what else was out there... Alleva should have kept Miles until after AL game, then he would not have had an interim coach try (and successfully do) steal the job, whoever got 8 games vs those teams would have went 6-2.. Hell if Alleva just forces Cameron out in Sept, Miles may still be here

This is actually a good point. I was ALWAYS uncomfortable with the notion that we hired Orgeron as Interim Coach, but that he was treating it like a job interview and digging in. As soon as they did that, they allowed the stop gap guy to send our PR guys into the press, and fricking hire one, and start pimping his staying put long term.

shite...I'd have rathered BDP be tapped as interim to simply hold things together and then get out of the way when we hired the ACTUAL new head coach.

Instead, we basically hired Orgeron on Day One of the Post Miles era and the past two months have been total bullshite parading as some grand coach search.
