I would never back the O hire if it went down the same way it did. Probably the biggest joke of a coaching search ever


That joke of a hire finished 6th in the country when he was predicted to finish fifth in the division of his conference. Hope he continues to be a joke because it was fun laughing at him beat four top ten teams this year.

Is crack your drug of choice? At no time has our program been in jeopardy of being lost under Alleva.
I didn't mean it was lost. Just in jeopardy.

There were a bunch of coaches on the market including Herman that Alleva refused to entertain. Instead, he promoted a coach already on staff who had a very miserable HC record.

Now, it appears the gamble is paying off... but if that risk didn't have the possibility of setting the football program back many years, I don't know what else to say. It was very possible that we'd watch Orgeron sink us further into mediocrity. I'm glad that hasn't happened.

Frick Joe Alleva for his "search". And he's a very fortunate man that his gamble paid off. And at the same time, bless Joe Alleva for getting WW for hoops and finding a way to keep Aranda on the football staff.

Goddamn why does everyone worry so much about argumentative stuff?

There are a lot of people that care more about being proven right about some hot take they made years ago rather than just enjoying the ride. And this goes for both sides of the equations.

If this was a botched search, what do you call Archer, Hallman, Dinardo, Johnson, and Jones.
Sounds like an LSU problem rather than just Alleva.
