Frick Joe Alleva in the goatass for his gross and absolutely irresponsible mishandling of the Les Miles situation. It damn near cost us our football program.


Is crack your drug of choice? At no time has our program been in jeopardy of being lost under Alleva. There is but one Saban and even Clemson and Ole Miss have shown he is vulnerable at times. The program was, is and will be fine. This recruiting class is amazing and O’s team far exceeded the 6-6 expectations by beating four teams ranked in the top 10. Hate Alleva all you want, but a top six football team, top 25 basketball team, number 2 preseason baseball team, number three gymnastics team and world class track teams seem to suggest the athletic department is not in dire straits like you nega Tigers/pseudo fans wish it was.

I didn't mean it was lost. Just in jeopardy.

There were a bunch of coaches on the market including Herman that Alleva refused to entertain. Instead, he promoted a coach already on staff who had a very miserable HC record.

Now, it appears the gamble is paying off... but if that risk didn't have the possibility of setting the football program back many years, I don't know what else to say. It was very possible that we'd watch Orgeron sink us further into mediocrity. I'm glad that hasn't happened.

Frick Joe Alleva for his "search". And he's a very fortunate man that his gamble paid off. And at the same time, bless Joe Alleva for getting WW for hoops and finding a way to keep Aranda on the football staff.
