Football

He hired 3 football head coaches

Carl Franks: 5 year, 7-45. Two 0-11 seasons.

Ted Roof: 6-45

David Cutcliffe: 12-24

Baseball

Hired 1 baseball coach

Bill Hillier: 121-214

Coach fired, accused of promoting steroids to the team.

Basketball:

Has not hired a basketball coach. Coach K was head coach for 18 years before Alleva was hired as AD.

Lacrosse Scandal

4 members of Duke lacrosse team accused of rape. No proof whatsoever, Alleva forces the coach to resign, the same coach who was the National Coach of the Year.

Alleva forces team to cancel season, even though 90% of the team was accused of nothing. 38 families of lacrosse players file lawsuit against Duke.

Other scandal

Joe Alleva, with his sons, are involved in a boating accident. One of his sons charged w/ operating a boat while impaired. Multiple officers state the smell of alcohol was present.

What stood out on this guy's resume?

The entire athletic department needs a wake up call. They were handed the keys to a football program barrelling downhill, but they think they are personally responsible for the success. Meanwhile, the rest of the programs at LSU crash and burn. They also ruined LSU's tailgating atmosphere to make only about $300k on parking. Trent Johnson has to be let go, but so does most of Athletics' administration.

Blame the idiots on the BOS who gave this moron a raise instead of letting him go to Knoxville and F up their sports programs.

Anybody who blames our lack of basketball success on Alleva is fricking retarded.

And on top of everything the dude just got a fricking pay raise for doing NOTHING (except flirt with Tennessee) while at the same time told nearly all of athletics none of them would be getting a raise this year because there "wasnt room in the budget"

Mainieri was hired before Joe Alleva became our AD.

Trent Johnson is Alleva's big hire since becoming athletic director. The same coach who has gone 3-3 so far and 11-20 the past 2 seasons.

Wow. How in the hell does that qualify him to run LSU athletics? I mean, shite! The FB program was and is fine with or without him.

Exactly. Like Duke had a ton of good football coaches knocking down their door. Hell, Cutcliffe is a pretty damn strong hire for Duke if you ask me. And most of us liked the Trent hire. Some even loved it. Very few hated it. Trent's suckiness is on Trent, not Alleva.
