Was the rant around then? What was the general reaction at the time?

People weren't happy and pointed to his time at Duke. Except for Tiger Ree, who loved it. Only he posted as Derek123 then.

It was pretty bad because of the Duke Lacrosse shite, but there were definitely some optimistic people because he came off strong and smart in his first press conference if I remember correctly.

My dad bought me a Duke Lacrosse shirt that year because he was so mad about the hire

I remember having mixed feelings but wanted to give him a chance. I didn’t turn on Joe until the 2015 Miles debacle.

Especially one where you make it clear you're an idiot

I didn’t like the Trent Johnson hire or Johnny Jones hire. LSU basketball sucking for the better part of a decade thanks to Alleva.

Duke Message Board Wasn't Too Upset About It

Very few people here would say Alleva is taking a step down by going to LSU. I think most people would agree that this is a pretty good career move for him. The curiosity has been more from the LSU side - why hire Joe Alleva?

I didn't like it because of his football hires, the baseball incident and the Lacrosse fiasco.

Forgot about the driving a boat while impaired.

Alleva never had any business being at LSU. He came from a program that was only known for Basketball, and he probably had nothing to do with the program in any way, just sign the checks. If anything Duke athletics improved after he left.
