re: When LSU Has a New Coach Next Year . . .

Well, he sure did let some great coaches get away.

I think that it is more likely that Skip is full of himself and wanted "yes men" around him. He butted heads with Saban constantly and their egos were too big to coexist. So, he lets him walk and gets someone that he can push around. I don't think that it was as intentional as you say, but I think that it had more to do with his own arrogance and not wanting to have anyone under him that was bigger than he was on a day-to-day basis. Skip Bertman isn't sharing the stage with anyone.

I know that Alleva has his flaws, but I am more confident that he will be running the next coaching search than I would be if Skip was running it.
