At Duke, Alleva hired three football coaches in his 11 years: Carl Franks, Ted Roof, and David Cutcliffe. Franks' record in his five years was 7–45, including two 0–11 seasons. Roof went 6–45. Cutcliffe wasn't his first choice to replace Roof but got the nod over Karl Dorrell.

His first baseball coach hired was Bill Hillier who compiled a 121–214 record.

In the beginning of the Duke lacrosse case, on April 5, 2006, Joe Alleva forced Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler to resign under threat. All the charges were dropped in 2007 after it was discovered that the supposed victim lied about the rape allegations. 2 years later, he is the AD at LSU.

Tell me what about this guy's resume makes him qualified to run the Athletic Department at LSU?
What is it going to take to get this clown out of town before he ruins all sports at LSU? The LSU brand and image has already been tarnished because of his decisions regarding coaching hires.

Everything wrong with the football program right now has his fingerprints on it. He has to be one of the worst AD's in the entire country. I know he makes a lot of money for the athletic department but if he fricks up football much worse that shite will change as well.

Absolutely nothing. The shitshow seems to be a trend with him. Why can't LSU have a tight lipped administration that competently gets the job done without a leak every other day? See Georgia.

Word is that Briles is the man but the "administration" is not on board. So, yeah, Alleva's fingerprints are all over this.

You let off the Duke Lacrosse dumpster fire that was his crowning achievement there, who hired this piece of shite? Anyone involved should be fired immediately

This is like the Bengals having a retirement parade for Marvin Lewis and then signing him to a 2 year extension. So much lulz

A university doesn’t look at an AD for wins and losses. They are evaluated by dollar signs and the money they bring in. Firing coaches with giant money left on their contracts is what will get Alleva fired and nothing else. That’s why I will not be surprised if Canada hangs around. Let’s be honest, it would take years of losing for people to stop going to football games. Corporate sponsorships keeps it rolling even if your average Joes refuse to pay ridiculous fees for a poor product. I don’t like or support Alleva but he isn’t going anywhere as long as the money train continues.

The word of a crack whore stripper is more important than that of your own coach and student athletes. Forget about the evidence. At least, that’s how it was for the Pres, AD and 80+ faculty at Duke. That’s unforgiveable to me.

If we can just get rid of this putz, I swear I’ll never complain about another AD.

Pretty much anyone would be better.

A fan base too stupid to appreciate Skip Bertman as AD and Les Miles as Head Coach deserves Joe Alleva and Ed Orgeron. Imho fwiw
