Basically said how embarrassing it is to have an AD get involve in a football program like this and went on to talk about how he has handled multiple situations at LSU. Couldn't believe they gave CEO that high of a buyout. Mostly just beating a dead horse at this point.

Sadly, high profile press continuing to beat this dead horse is what we need so the pressure will continue to build against Alleva.

That to me seems like CEO wanted them there to answer for the issues rather than himself. But yes, I feel like CEO and Alleva probably realize if they don't fix it they are all fired.

I'm glad more regional and national media types are jumping on the "holy shite did LSU really do that?" train. The more embarrassment caused, the sooner Alleva and O are shown the door

If you were an Auburn or Alabama fanboy wouldn't you have done the same thing??

He is an Alabama fan, so it's pretty genius

When O was hired much of the national media, rightly so, thought it was a bit of weak hire. However, some of the skepticism was assuaged when it was presented that O didn't get a huge salary and LSU was going to invest in two big-time coordinators. That sold people (who don't follow LSU as closely as we do here) on the possibility of the Ogeron idea.

Now, that it has blown up in LSU's face this season the national media started looking to see if LSU could cut ties with O after one year. In doing so they were surprised and SHOCKED to discover that LSU's imbecile of an AD guaranteed the contract to a guy who had ZERO negotiating leverage.

The national media is just now finding out what we already knew, Joe Alleva is a complete fricking idiot.

I still find it odd that he was able to get another AD job after his blunder at Duke with the Lacrosse team.




Absolutely... It tells you a lot about whoever the decision makers were...

Booger asked the question
Can't believe that was even a topic on a national show

After the Duke mess, LSU was the only school in America that would make Joe Alleva its AD.

After the Ole Miss mess, LSU was the only school in America that would make Ed Orgeron its head football coach.

What a sad, pathetic group of administrators and supervisors that are in place at LSU right now. Whoever put these people in leadership roles has failed the school and the state in a huge way. Unfortunately, this is Louisiana, so the only people to suffer from this will be the fans.

Right I have no idea why he’d put that out there. Unless he thought that would send a good message of a unified front or something.....I really don’t think he’s much of a forward thinker, purely short term


Fully agree. I would lean toward O's trying to make a show that they're making progress. Actually, it's more of a sign of building panic.

Actually, Finebaum sorta defended O saying he should be shown more respect. Of course, he also said he probably shouldn't have gotten the job, but railed on Alleva because of that

I generally have no issue with the HC and AD meeting on a regular basis. One would hope it would not be X and O stuff. But it’s not a problem.

Miles said on his podcast that he never met with the AD during the season, and also said that there is no way to spin that it is a good thing to meet with the AD during the season... so I aint buying it...

Y'all give the media way too much credit with these conspiracy theories.

In a nutshell, you captured the essence of this complete LSU shitstorm with direct, eloquent perfection.

Hopefully the powers that be start bringing some heat to his arse. When his feet are held to the fire he will probably squeal like the little bitch that he is, and bring F King down with him.

That would be a double win for LSU. Can't worry about Oregeron until the rest is fixed first.



I agree with you 100% on that.

Of course he was. What Bama dick sucker wouldn't want O as our head coach.
