From Joe Alleva to Scott Woodward

I remember when LSU hired Aleva. I was fuking stunned. This is the guy responsible for the Duke LaCross debacle and LSU hired him?? I still don’t get it.

Woodward really cares about LSU and Louisiana. We are blessed to have him.

Some people still call him “spineless” etc for firing Wade. As if he Really had a choice. Clearly the ncaa made him do that if we wanted to get off the hook and have them go away.

Maybe a few. The majority of people who hate Woodward on this board would drop to their knees, without a second thought, in order to hold one of Orgerons testicles in their mouth.

This.

I don't completely agree with this. I think that if there had been no family relationship with Emmert, AND Woodward wanted to keep Wade, he definitely had a choice. The NCAA doesn't have ANY POWER anymore, and numerous power schools have told them to stick it where the sun don't shine, and the NCAA promptly went and stuck it where the sun don't shine.

I will always believe Woodward did Emmert a "solid" by dismissing Wade and allowing him to save face.

With all that said, I'm very encouraged by what McMahon has done so far, and he's certainly got a good record (including the tournament) as a HC. As much as I LOVED Wade, I want LSU coached by the best man for the job. Hopefully McMahon will prove to be better. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Just what Alleva allowed to happen to that Duke men’s Lacrosse team should have been a giant red flag for LSU. That alone should have been enough end any thoughts of hiring him….and yet it didn’t.

I don’t remember who pushed for Alleva but I also remember being shocked then just shrugged and went on
