Responses To Joe Alleva’s Departure At LSU

The reactions to the resignation of LSU AD Joe Alleva, who left Duke to take that position, rolled in Wednesday and were not pretty. Here are a few, starting with Paul Finebaum.

“A lot of people think it’s long overdue. This is a guy that’s personally bungled more events than I can even put into words, starting with the Les Miles firing then bringing him back. He flat-out blew the Jimbo Fisher negotiation. He blew the Tom Herman negotiation. He embarrassed the commissioner of the SEC in the tete-a-tete with Florida a couple of years ago after the storm, and those are just things we can talk about.

“Rarely have I seen a report of someone’s demise cheered on more than this one. I think, for those that have watched this show in the past, Joe Alleva was not a very popular man in Baton Rouge.”
