re: Why is there so much hate for Alleva?

#1) The way he handled the possible firing of Miles in 2015 showed him to be an amateur. He has little to no true control or power in the Athletic program. If he would have handled the situation like Georgia did win Richt then we would have landed Jimbo, Fuente or Herman.

#2) His fuch up caused to waste a season with maybe our most talented team ever.

#3) He hand cuffed Miles when Les wanted to go get Aranda and we had to go through the Steele curtain experiment. Who know what could have happened with DA going into Bama in '15. I feel like we definitely would have beaten Ole Miss and Arkansas with Aranda.

#3) The Trent Johnson hire was a joke, anyone who knew anything about basketball knew his success was directly due to the Lopez twins at Stanford.

#4) He tried to make fans and alumni happy with the Johnny hire instead of hiring the best man for the job. Emotional decision. Also Johnny was terrible at North Texas.

#5) Jermey Foley played him like a fiddle and then he traded a home game for a fuching 11am kickoff.

#6) He threw a fit when Herman wanted to hear from Texas. Even if we wouldn't have landed him, Alleva didn't even put up a fight. He acted like a spoiled child and just shut it down.

#7) He's now taken away one of our best traditions with Mike in the stadium. I'd rather the tiger beside the opposing lockerroom than fireworks.

#8) He cancelled the McNeese game instead of rescheduling it for that Sunday. Leonard would have became the first SEC back to ever go over 2000 yards if he didn't.

#9) His handling of the Duke situation shows me that if we ever have a scnadle he'll likely immediately give into whatever pressure the media puts on him. Instead of actually doing his goddamn job.

#10) He's a bad AD. He makes emotional business decisions. He has zero ability to close. He's an amateur and I full faith that he'll fuch up the next basketball hire.


I'll give him credit for some facility upgrades and the Beth hire.
