Good thing is, that dummy tied his career to Ed Orgeron.

It's sad that this is being talked about outside of Baton Rouge.
TD and SECrant are the largest college football discussion boards on the internet. There's ample proof that the media lurks on here and regurgitates whatever the fan bases are saying.

Not good for who? They affect absolutely nothing.

Might want to look back at the Manieri extension. It took Texas coming after him to get the extension. Not in the least proactive in keeping coaches happy or looking out for the future of the program. His approach is totally reactionary. Ready, fire, aim is more like it?

Goes on to say that all the coaches and agents of any substance know to avoid Baton Rouge because of him.
fricking halarious
Coaches and agents of any substance: "no, no I will not take your 6 million dollars per year for a contractual period of 5 years because of Alleva"

Alleva operates like he's reading a "choose your own adventure" book, but only has one option.
Turn to page 45.

It is not just in the panhandle area. Was in Little Rock 2 weeks ago and in Houston last month and the radio stations were bashing Alleva and thereby LSU. Not good!

I agree that they are filling air time. No doubt.
I also get the impression that people are being defensive because someone other than LSU fans are bashing Alleva. The dude deserves to be bashed. If some radio station in Florida wants to bash him, I have no problem with that.

The fact is that Alleva is marked! Thereby also marking anyone with his mark on them! If Orgeron does t do great things this year and show significant progress Alleva is toast! Then, no one will care who talks about him. The sad thing is with a weak bos in place nothing good can happen. Truth is that “the King” needs to go as well. Chances of that happening “Zero”!

Dude if you are at Destin and you are spending your time listening to local sports talk radio, you aren't doing "beach" right.

Trust me! I am! Have a crown on in one hand, toes in the sand and listening to sports talk in the morning, Aldean in the afternoon and posting on TD. What else could one want?
Posted on 7/10/18 at 1:16 pm to plbjr
Not defending aleva, but yeah, aranda and Wade really avoided lsu. You people live for any kind of negativity.

shite, I was in China, and they were saying the same thing. Bit is sad.

I’m glad the local sports radio guy in DESTIN FLORIDA and his opinion are so valued here.
Not a fan of Alleva but c’mon, Bill King and Mr. 30-A deserve mentioning because they bad mouth Joe?
I’m quite certain if they had something positive to say about Alleva, or O in particular, a thread would be started here post-haste. I can probably even name the poster.

We’ve already seen some upgrades to the PMAC and more are on the way I believe.
He’s forked up the money to keep Mainieri, Torina, Aranda. His hiring/firing process in football leaves a lot to be desired but he’s done a lot of things I’m happy with.

" Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics, overseeing historic growth of one of the most recognized brands in all of sports. Under his leadership,
Alleva has expertly managed the department's finances and operations, making LSU one of the nation's top 10 programs in terms of revenue, profit, ticket sales and investment into its student-athletes and athletic endeavors. He joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008, and he was named vice chancellor in August of 2009, marking the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position.
In the spring of 2016, he completed a five-year term on the prestigious NCAA Men's Basketball Committee, an appointment that affirmed his reputation as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Alleva has been appointed to numerous national committees, including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees.
n the classroom, a total of 89 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university last year. LSU's Graduation Success Rate as reported by the NCAA remains at an all-time high with a score of 88, four points higher than the national average
He has also bolstered the L-Club program to connect with former student-athletes, and he instituted the thriving “Project Graduation” plan in which former student-athletes return to LSU to earn their degrees
LSU under Alleva's leadership has claimed the 2009 baseball national championship and four College World Series berths, the 2015 men's golf national championship, two women's basketball Sweet 16 appearances, five gymnastics Super Six berths, four softball College World Series appearances and 18 NCAA Top 5 finishes indoors and outdoors by the men's and women's track and field teams.
The Tigers in the past nine seasons have earned 42 individual NCAA championships in the sports of men's and women's track and field, gymnastics, men's golf and women's golf. LSU has captured 16 Southeastern Conference team championships, and the Tigers have won 115 individual SEC titles during Alleva's term.
Alleva's vision keeps LSU among the nation's leaders in facilities, and he is devoted to enhancing the experiences of fans at each of the Fighting Tigers' venues. Tiger Stadium is currently undergoing a significant upgrade in its concessions and restroom facilities, and this summer the largest center-hung video board in college basketball was installed in the Pete Maravich Assembly Center.
Last year, LSU unveiled two state-of-the-art venues – a Gymnastics Practice Facility and a Tennis Center featuring both indoor and outdoor courts – and construction is scheduled to begin this year on a Nutrition Center. An addition to the Football Operations Center's weight training area opened in August 2016, providing student-athletes with one of the finest strength and conditioning facilities in the world.
Under Alleva's direction, LSU in the fall of 2014 opened the expansion of the South End Zone of Tiger Stadium -- a project that added premium seating, general public seating and two state-of-the-art video boards
Alleva supervised a major renovation to the University Club golf course that allows the LSU golf teams to play on one of the most challenging courses in the country. An overhaul of the LSU soccer facility has converted the stadium into fan-friendly venue, and the track and field program has received a new running surface in Bernie Moore Stadium and extensive renovations to its indoor facility.
An innovator with bold ideas that benefit Greater Baton Rouge, he was instrumental in the planning of Bayou Country Superfest, a three-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium from 2010 through 2016. The event attracted over 100,000 visitors each year and made a tremendous economic impact upon the community.
Alleva, who earned his bachelor's degree in finance from Lehigh in 1975, was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. He also played on the baseball team and served as a graduate assistant football coach, earning an MBA in 1976.
While at Duke, he played a key role in the Durham, N.C. sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham nearly 30 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program.
He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame."
