First, waking up this morning and seeing a thread calling me out, by name, in the title, for 'trolling' and 'lying' this past week, when all I did was share facts from someone as well-placed in situation as you can be, for absolutely nothing more than the betterment of everyone on this board I've been a member of for 18+ years, was disheartening to say the least.
But in the aftermath, the overwhelming support of 99% of you has swayed me back to the good side. I refuse to let the negative few ruin the great thing WE, as a Tigebait family, share here. So in that light, I will continue to share what I hear, when I can. Last thing I'll say on the subject is I have read virtually every single post supporting me on here today, so do NOT think your voice has gone unheard. WE are what's great about this site Mike has built.
Now, here are a couple of quick things I just heard from my source today.
-CamCam is gone, just a matter of the announcement. As I alluded to earlier, Miles met with Alleva this morning, and this was touched on. To say their working relationship (Miles and Alleva) is tenuous at best is putting it lightly. Les knows if Joe had his druthers, Les is unemployed today. But the legendary political machinations of LSU provided divine intervention. Long story short, Alexander went over Alleva's head and did save Les's job, but also made it clear to Les that Joe has total authority to mandate what he termed 'significant' changes to the offense. These came in the form of 2 POTENTIAL but likely candidates that Les laid out to Alleva in their meeting this morning. One is absolutely out of left field, and would reverberate throughout the conference. The other would be a slam dunk, too. I will share the names once I hear more.
-There were SIX current potential transfers, all on offense, that had all but decided to leave after the Arkansas game. 3 of whom I would deem incredibly, if not cripplingly, impactful. I use the past tense here because this Les debacle has emboldened the players to 'circle the wagons' so to speak, and rally around their coach. I don't know how much this applies necessarily to these 6 players, but logic would dictate they are included in this. Also, Ball the WR coach is as good as gone, as is CamCam, and the players know this. The next OC hire will go a long way towards whether or not they will stay.
Will be an interesting ensuing 30 days to be sure. And as my earlier post reiterated, I'm right here.
