What in the actual frick?

quote:

I think what happened last November was actually good for everybody,” Alleva said Monday during a radio interview with ESPN 104.5 in Baton Rouge. “I think it was good for Les. I think it was good for me. I think it was good for the players.”

worst AD in the country. It is fricking embarrassing we would hire him after the Duke lax thing. He should be relegated to managing a high school or middle school program.

If last November turns into an SEC championship this season, then I'll agree.

I can see what he's saying. Obviously last November was completely dreadful in the moment and I would much rather (still now) won out in November. But I can see what he means by it giving everyone a shock and saying, we need to get it done NOW or there is no tomorrow. Having said that I still want him let go and do not trust him in the slightest to make great hires in our big 3 programs.

How fricking tone-deaf.

everyone has to admit that this was one of the better offseasons we have had, which maybe could be attributed to last November?

I don't know

Definitely one of the better offseasons, but I don't think recruits (or other coaches) looked at the way Alleva handled everything and thought, "Yep, that's where I want to be."

If he means it was a wake-up call that will lead to success this season, then great, but I don't think Alleva gets the benefit of the doubt anymore.

LSU was #2 going into Nov. Not winning out and going to the SECCG and Playoffs was good for everyone, Joe?

I guess the Lacross hoax was good for everyone, too?

I'm a well documented Alleva hater. I called for him to be fired earlier this year.


That said, he's absolutely right, in the sense that everyone needed a come to jesus moment. You're looking at the results in a stellar assistant staff and preseason top 5 ranking.

This is the part I 100% disagree with and why I can't support the asshat.

I totally agree with Joe.

Every November LSU should lose 3 games and handle personnel decisions in a way that embarrasses the program nationally.

It's "good"!

maybe...just maybe

what he means is that before not everyone was on the same page and not working together, and although November was awful and embarrassing, the LSU football program is now in a better place than it was because of it?

maybe

he's right. its funny how the fans have seen so much good from it and continue to shite on Alleva where he was just the guy bringing in Jimbo and everyone would have hailed him but he got shite on by the uppers.
