My EMAIL to ALLEVA

Please people, consider writing one of your own.

Sir,

You should watch the last two minutes of Ole Miss/LSU repeatedly until the truth becomes obvious. What happened was so disastrously stupid that it will poison everything that is LSU football until Miles is gone. It will be used justifiably against us in ALL recruiting battles. This isn’t 1980 sir. Coaches can and most certainly will pull that video up on their blackberrys every time they speak to a recruit considering LSU. Look at the expression on the LSU players’ faces. That expression sir is the expression of players who now know what honestly was apparent for quite some time. Namely, we have a coach who, whatever his positives, may be the worst game day coach to ever coach at LSU. His luck has finally run out and his stupid stuff isn’t coming up roses anymore.

So again I ask you sir, please watch the last 2 minutes repeatedly until the obvious becomes apparent to you. Because if you wait sir, you will not pull the trigger until Miles kills 2 or 3 recruiting years and then, even if you hire the greatest coach of all time, it will take him another 2-3 years to recover.

How much money will THAT cost the LSU athletic program? Think about it. Think about it seriously because in the final analysis, when Miles presides over the collapse, your name will be attached to the collapse too. That may not be fair and it may not even be reasonable but look at the historical precedent with other coaches and ADs and you know it to be true.

Respectfully,
An LSU fan of more than 30 years.
