Alleva to LSU
According to this LSU site:

Wow, color me wrong! firealleva, are you thinking up new handles to yet to celebrate?
Surprisingly, that Tiger message board seemed pretty positive about the hire.

He must have been extremely impressive in the interview. I wonder what the LSU hiring committee's take on Alleva's actions during the lacrosse mess is.
quote:
(sings) O happy day! O happy day! When LSU took...Alleva away!!!

Does Mr Speedboat Pilot need any volunteers to help him pack?

alleva gone? good riddance?

How are we going to find another drunken sailor?

Happy Days are here again the sun is finally shinning once again in Durham on Duke!!!
quote:
I am glad Mr. Alleva has departed Duke. I believe we are better off without him, given his handling of the lacrosse situation and football over the past several years, not to mention his lack of support for Coach G, leading to her departure to Texas.
quote:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah - just got home and the main board news simply made my year! This is obviously my last post under this handle - just really hope we can hire a strong leader with integrity to fill the position. Maybe Billy King is the right guy - I just believe the new leader has to pay attention to the football program as well as raise money.
quote:
are you guys serious? have you guys paid attention to our football and baseball programs over the last 10 years or so? this is fantastic news, i just hope we make the right choice as a replacement...but there is no way we can do any worse!!!
quote:
I didn't think that "not fired from their last job for incompetence" needed to be an explicit job requirement, but I guess I was wrong.
quote:
believe it or not, LSU is a step up from duke
quote:
A) If we're talking in terms of AD dollars, sure. He will probably get a raise, and his department will have no money.
B) If we're talking in terms of team performance, it's a push. LSU is better in football, baseball, and track. Duke is better in basketball, tennis, golf, lacrosse, soccer.
c) If we're talking prestige, you're probably right - running the department of a large state school, particularly a large southern state school, and with the reputation of LSU, is probably a higher prestige job as an athletic director.
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?

Who actually hired this tool to begin with? And why?

That has changed, according to interim LSU chancellor William Jenkins.
"We're identifying potential candidates for men's basketball coaching job at the moment, but the imperative here is to get the athletic director designee in place first," Jenkins said last week. "If you're a basketball coach, you'd like to know who you're answering to, and we're trying very hard to get that sequential so it's appropriate. I hope we can accomplish that, and we need to at least have an AD designated."
Jenkins would not answer a specific question on Grant.
The Parker Executive search firm of Atlanta was recently hired for $75,000, or a third of the new coach's contract if it is higher, to perform the men's basketball coach search, Jerry Baudoin, the vice chancellor of finance at LSU.
"We now have two contracts at the same price with the Parker firm - one for the athletic director search and one for the men's basketball coach search," Baudoin said.
Bertman had spoken to the Parker firm and other firms in February but decided he did not need a search firm.
"You and I both know that time's getting short for the basketball coach identification and hiring," Jenkins said. "So I think we're OK time wise, if we'll have an AD in place who can participate in that process. I can't guarantee that it will work that way, but that's what the hope and expectation is. And the reason is obvious."
LSU opened its AD search in December but has yet to make any recommendations.
"This is an athletic program that anyone in their right mind would want to lead," LSU president John Lombardi said at an athletic director search committee meeting on Jan. 18. At that meeting, it was said that a recommendation could be made in March. Instead, LSU will not begin interviewing until April.
LSU's public affairs office on Monday released the names of six athletic director candidates who will be interviewed Wednesday.
Those included three new candidates - Duke athletic director Joe Alleva, former Florida State athletic director Dave Hart Jr. and Kentucky associate athletic director Rob Mullins. Three previously identified candidates will also be interviewed - FAU athletic director Craig Angelos and LSU associate athletic directors Herb Vincent and Verge Ausberry.
"Oh I think we're probably getting close on that one," Jenkins said.

Those posts read like this board today. How fricking stupid did LSU look hiring that arse clown.

There was some tie between then LSU president and I think the Duke president. Someone posted a story here a few months back. Basically Alleva was pushed here and hired as a favor.

Blast from the past. I had him for intermediate accounting.

I’ve been preaching how stupid this hire was since it was rumored.
