re: Dellenger article on LSU and Texas’ coaching search

First & foremost, Alleva was a joke of an AD & showed it in this coaching search & emphasized that fact with his “I am the search committee” comment. Sad thing about it is, if Coach O continues on this path of success, that clown faced asshat, Alleva, could have lucked himself into one of the best hires in LSU history & be associated with a legacy that he doesn’t deserve any association with.
I was never a Herman fan, I was Fisher all the way; I never thought Herman had the mentality to make it in the SEC. Would I have taken him over Coach O at the time? Yes. Would I take him today over Coach O? Hell no.

Alleva was terrible but in hindsight he did the right thing. I would not have wanted none of the coaches mentioned besides maybe leach.

Shaw, McIntyre(sp), Fuenette, fedora, hologrson =

What I’ve heard is that we could’ve had Fisher in November of 2015 for 6 mil a year. But once we kept Miles and shitted on Fisher, the price went up. LSU didn’t want to play it. Herman did what he did. We got O. I think O has been pretty good for a consolation prize. This year he could be REALLY good.

Also I applaud Alleva for telling Herman “frick You”

Good read. But Coach O IS the right fit, IMHO.

Leach was interested in the job. I think that would have been an outstanding fit.

I would hate for that a-hole to represent LSU.

Think of the names on that list: Fedora (failure), Fleck (jury is still out at Minnesota), MacIntyre (canned at CU). Others wanted Fuentes (bleh). There were NO sure fire winners.
Despite Orgeron's mistake with Canada, he seems to be mplementing the plan he presented.
As a reminder, no one thought Les Miles was a home run. Most folks were extremely disappointed in the hire.
Coaching searches are a crap shoot. Look at Chip Kelly. Everyone wanted that dude but he is a long way from turning UCLA around.
No one banged down the door at Tennessee, Texas or Florida when their jobs came open. Hell, no one was banging down the door at Alabama before Saban.

Not unlike Joe Alleva, you didn’t mention or consider the best two coaches mentioned in the article.

Ausberry, LSU’s executive deputy athletic director, declined comment on the search, only telling SI, “It was a process we went through and had a few candidates out there. At the end of the day, we stuck with the right one.”

Did anybody read that and think that Verge is still a little miffed about the whole thing and might be trying to slow burn it to the ground?

Pretty much every reason we assumed our coaching search was a joke, confirmed in one nice little article. How pleasant. Even got a pomansky shout out

This article explains the birth of Tiger Ree on this board.

I guess you are talking about Mike Gundy and Kyle Whittingham. Quality coaches but nobody's idea of a homerun hire. Both have had multiple losing seasons and they have one combined Power 5 conference title between them.
