A thread about one thing: Joe Alleva

I want to reserve a thread for our boy Joe since I don't see one on Page 1. In my opinion, Joe Alleva is the blame in all of this.

1) his not firing Les in 2015 set us up for failure.

2) His 2016 "search" was a joke. One of the biggest mismanagements I've seen at LSU.

3) He got hoodwinked into hiring a known failure

4) He gave the known failure, who was BEGGING for the job, a $12M buyout. A terrible business decision in any business setting. When a person begs for a job you know it's because they aren't qualified. We can't even fire O if we wanted to at this point because of this. Ed O Buyout

5) Alleva has botched nearly everything he's touched, both here and at Duke.

6) He hoodwinked LSU into giving him a raise and an extension by leveraging a potential bid from University of Tennessee. We should've gladly let him walk.

7) if he isn't already, he will soon be tenured in the Louisiana System and will be paid by LA taxpayers for the rest of his life when he chooses to retire. I'm not sure of retirement salary he'll qualify for, but $1 is too much.


I hope the President and BOS realize what they've allowed to occur and who they've been paying big money for the decisions. Because they're complicit too.



We're in for a long decline fellas.


Thanks Joe!
