He gets the blame for Trent but thats about it.
I dont like Alleva either but the truth of the matter is that JJ was forced upon Alleva by Temple and the crew. Fargas was a homerun hire at the time. He had no idea she would get pregnant and lose steam on the recruting trail.

That's the problem.
Good AD's don't have coaches "forced" on them. Good AD's are in control of things within their job description.
A good AD would have had Dale Brown and Collis Temple come to him and make demands, and he would have calmly said "Fellas, I'm gonna hire a coach so good you won't be able to help yourselves you'll be so happy, and he's going to win at a level that makes us all proud to be Tigers.
"But that coach is going to have a resume a lot better than Johnny Jones' is. I thank you for your input, but I'm thinking a little bigger. Good day to you."
And if he gets pressure from above, he responds with "You either let me do my job, or I will resign right here and now and you'll have to hire an AD as well as a hoops coach. What's it gonna be?"
That's the kind of man who's worth paying 750K a year to run a $140 million athletic department. What we have is a careerist functionary who's worth paying 75K a year for a job where he doesn't have to make any important decisions.
