re: Alleva was not the problem. LSU sports are great under him.

Alleva didn't put in place most of the coaches we have, and he isn't really even the one who found Wade. From what I understand, that was Eddie Nunez.

You can MAYBE give him credit for the Beth Torina hire. Only after his first choice backed out.

He inherited a gold mine. Alleva is not responsible for our success. But he gave numerous raises to Miles, while his teams slowly faded into mediocrity. He inherited a women's basketball program that was in the midst of a 5 year final four run, and managed to all but run it completely into the ground. He's had three different coaches in men's basketball, and he and Alexander nearly ran off the one good coach we've had.
