That pissed me off. They definitely covered their asses and told wade if he wants his job back he needs to agree to admit they had no choice and be okay with the shot they took blaming him for it.

No but it is it surprising. He is both arrogant and clueless and his statement screams "this ain't my idea".

Is there no one who could step in and tell him you sound like a pompous idiot why don't you try another draft of that statement?

Obviously not, another example....

I agree Joe needs to go but if not at least the hatred of him will be fun to experience as a fan. Alleva is going to be calling Goodell for advice on how to handle mass disapproval.

A real leader makes a short statement and says we're moving on.

And with Alleva, that in a nutshell is the problem.

Joe must go.

he University regrets that Coach Wade did not choose to fulfill his obligations to LSU when he was first asked to do so. However, the seriousness of the allegations and Coach Wade’s prior refusal to refute them could not be ignored without exposing the University and the basketball program to great risk. Protecting LSU and preserving our integrity must always be our first priority.







Not a damn thing wrong with that statement

Most likely WW was told if he wants the job back he has to make those comment. Coach WW took one for the team on order to bring the players back and salvage the recruiting class. The only one in the administration that cares about the basketball program is WW. King and Aleva don't give a shite about the fans or winning .

The folks who pay his salary disagree.
It was unnecessary and only served to put salt in the wound his administration had opened.

Yep, I'm neither a PR guy or an administrator, but if I had the time he had o draft that statement and the resources I damn sure as hell coulda come up with a much more pragmatic statement that managed not to alienate the fans and still uphold the integrity of the University.

I wish but it’ll likely be Julyish of this year when he either steps down or fired. I’m fairly confident Alleva WILL NOT be the AD by the time fall semester starts

What pisses me off about this situation is these 2 chicken littles fell to the media pressure without even batting an eye...how many times is this Administration be given a pass for such outlandish bullshite....BOTH need to be fired...hopefully some money boosters step up the pressure on these 2 clowns for their stupidity and have them both replaced....

What also pisses me off is the statement they forced Wade to release.
