re: Anyone think that this wasn't Alleva's decision?

The public statements don't really mean much to me. It's probably just some BS that sounded good to him at the time.

Why the huge buy out
At first this completely baffled me. I even made at least one stupid statement on this forum along the lines of "what have we got to lose? He's cheap and if he doesn't work out we'll just get rid of him" ...Not knowing about the buyout at that moment. The recruiting thing must be it
My take is this...
In 2015 Alleva wanted to can Miles and was lining up Jimbo. The price tag got too high. LSU was having a budget crisis so Alleva was told not to go through with it because it wouldn't look good. University budgets and athletic spending should have not been connected so this tells me somebody else made the call. (King?)
2016 starts out rough. Someone decides enough is enough and something must be done now. (not King and probably not just Alleva because the money had to come from somewhere). They fire Miles...And THEN They try Jimbo and they try Herman. That doesn't work out so they fall back on Orgeron.
The fact that it's all so reactionary shows just how amateurish these people are. They fired Miles with no plan in place already. They did the same thing when Chavis quit. Called his bluff without having a new DC lined up. It was a terrible time to try to find one. Right around signing day. Had to have hurt recruiting.

Truth- The money was there to replace CLM, JA was in over his head with Sexton and made a royal mess that was about to explode. A meeting was held at half time and the decision was to retain CLM due to the debacle of our AD

At the beginning of 2016 JA asked for total control of the process- he was given that, JA and JA alone canned CLM- the money was there in 2015
