re: Rashan Gary to announce on twitter Feb. 3rd

At what point did we start to lose ground with Gary? We seemed to be hot and heavy on him and he seemed to have a lot of interest then it just seemed to lose steam. What gave way?

After we lost two games and alleva said Les was coaching for his job... alumni raised money for the buyout, etc. Intelligent people understand that this is not the way you do things.

That was really stupid because it let the rest of the world know that Les will probably be fired if he doesn't make the playoff next year, which means an entire new coaching staff. Plus coach O made it public that he was interested in the Syracuse job.

That all turned into a stupid mess orchestrated by an arguably stupid man- joe alleva. The Gary's just decided to say thanks but no thanks, and they're not going to fall for the LSU facade of stability again. At least in their minds, we can't assure that our coaching staff will be there for the next one year, let alone three.

IMO, Les has the team he wants in place with the depth he now has with this #1 class, and he's back to calling the shots again, even if he doesn't beat bama. I can't see us losing to anyone else next year.
