Fisher is a 5 star coach with strong interest in LSU, wants to come here based on reports
Alleva cannot keep the move quiet -- not just message board chatter, we're talking 5-minute Gameday segments
Alleva does not get the economics squared away, late asks for more money screw things up
Before making the hire that will define his career, Alleva does not confirm Alexander is 200% in favor of the move
Episode enhances Miles' standing with LSU fans as Les shows remarkable grace
Episode significantly damages LSU's standing with assistant coaches and coaching candidates
For average CFB fans, episode diminishes LSU based on (1) poor treatment of a great coach and/or (2) total bungling of what should have been a statement hire
For top 3 recruiting class with strong bonds with LSU coaches, episode creates huge uncertainty
LSU has slipped some the last 3 years, but the Tigers remain an elite CFB program in terms of consistent, long term winning. There are not 3 teams that have had more success than LSU during Miles' tenure. This is the kind of screw up that will start us down the road that Florida, Texas, USC, and other elite teams have had to travel.
And this seems totally self-inflicted by our AD. What am I missing?
