Was the rant around then? What was the general reaction at the time?

People weren't happy and pointed to his time at Duke. Except for Tiger Ree, who loved it. Only he posted as Derek123 then.

"That's the guy from the Duke lacrosse thing?"

It was pretty bad because of the Duke Lacrosse shite, but there were definitely some optimistic people because he came off strong and smart in his first press conference if I remember correctly.
My dad bought me a Duke Lacrosse shirt that year because he was so mad about the hire

I remember having mixed feelings but wanted to give him a chance. I didn’t turn on Joe until the 2015 Miles debacle.

Duke Message Board Wasn't Too Upset About It

Very few people here would say Alleva is taking a step down by going to LSU. I think most people would agree that this is a pretty good career move for him. The curiosity has been more from the LSU side - why hire Joe Alleva?

Alleva never had any business being at LSU. He came from a program that was only known for Basketball, and he probably had nothing to do with the program in any way, just sign the checks. If anything Duke athletics improved after he left.
