Former LSU athletic director Joe Alleva recommended firing former head football coach Les Miles in 2013 because of "inappropriate behavior" that involved allegations of sexual harassment with students.
quote:
But Alleva's recommendation to fire Miles -- who was riding high at the time and had just received a new six-year contract -- landed flat. The coach was terminated not for misconduct, but disappointing results on the field, early in the 2016 season.
In 2013, his supervisors directed him to stop texting, calling and messaging student employees. LSU also ordered the coach to stop hiring female students to babysit his children and to stop being alone with them. He was also made to attend eight one-hour sessions that he had to pay for and attend with an attorney.

But Alleva, who was ousted by LSU in 2019, made clearthat he felt there should've been greater consequences.
"I think his continued employment needs to be seriously considered," Alleva wrote in an email to former LSU Chancellor William Jenkins on April 19, 2013. "When reviewing the use of a secret personal phone, the text messages, the fact that I had already advised him against such behavior, the evening meeting off campus, etc. it gives me great concern for the future."
quote:
Alleva also sent an email to former LSU president F. King Alexander on June 21, 2013, in which he said he believed people are "innocent until proven guilty," but "in this case I believe (Miles) is guilty of insubordination, inappropriate behavior, putting the university, athletic dept and football program at great risk.
"I think we have cause," Alleva added. "I specifically told him not to text, call or be alone with any student workers and he obviously didn't listen. I know there are many possible outcomes and much risk either way, but I believe it is in the best interest in the long run to make a break."

Joe Alleva was a horrible AD overall and helped usher in this woke culture we see now, but he was absolutely right here. F King is a bigger POS than any of us knew and the BOS is culpable as well.

We always made fun of Les’ intelligence, but having a secret phone shows he was way smarter than Freeze and others.

And we still couldn't get rid of him in 2015
