"I still have a lot of friends in the ACC," Alleva said. "I talked to them, and after that I didn't want any part of Jimbo. I would never have hired Jimbo. He was never on my radar. Now, fans and some people in the department wanted him, but I never wanted him.

"I could have made a change (at the end of the 2015 season). I recommended not to. Because I would have been forced to hire Jimbo. I would rather have had Les. But if I didn't hire him, the outcry would have been ridiculous. So we had that meeting during the (Texas A&M) game, and I made the recommendation to keep (Miles)."

Interesting that Alleva think Woodward was stupid enough to hire someone whom he knew - because he talked to his friends in the ACC - was worse than Les Miles. Alleva must really hate Woodward.

Alleva has been vindicated big time this year.

And he was right about Chavis.

The way I read it, he actually calls Jimbo a fool. But whatever makes you feel better about your shitty program.

Woody pulled the pin on a $75M guaranteed grenade and tossed it into Kyle Field before heading home. Woodward deserves a goddamn medal.

Alleva is full of fricking shite.

He definitely wanted Jimbo and the politicians in Louisiana wouldn't let him go get him.

Alleva is the real genius behind this historic season. From slamming the breaks on firing Miles for Jimbo, to telling Herman’s agent verbatim “frick you”, to reading between the lines in The Binder and hiring EdO.
He also hired Will Wade and temporarily hid him from the NCAA/feds to protect him from wade’s rookie mistakes.
Motherfricker deserves a statue.

How does that article change 50-7 and 1-8?

LSU Football hasn’t always been managed as well and still is decisively more successful than A&M that has made so many “home run” off the field moves.

You are who you are.

Texas A&M will never be a top 5 team. It doesn't matter who the coach is.

No where is that even implied. It could be the case that Woodward was directed by the aggie power structure (and I use the term "power" very loosely) directed Woodward to get Fisher at any cost - which he did.

So A&M fans said we kept Miles because we beat them that game. Actually, it was so the AD could avoid overpaying the douchenozzle that ended up going to A&M and stealing their money.

Oh yeah, 507 is the key code for the Rec room.

Looks more and more like Jimbo is best suited for working in a Bakery cleaning up creampies

LSU fans hated Alleva and said he was the dumbest AD on the planet.

Just because Alleva didn't like Jimbo doesn't make him vindicated. He still lead LSU through one of the most botched coaching hires of all time.

There were very, very few people who thought O would work out. He went all in on Herman with no back up plan, waiting till the last second, and settled for O.

Now, I'm fricking ecstatic it's all worked out the way it has and have been an adamant eater of the crow on O (and Herman). But that doesn't make what happened any less idiotic.

9-3 is most likely the ceiling for y’all with Jimbo. There may be a 10-2 sprinkled in there but that’s highly unlikely. Everyone knows this.

Alleva should not be calling anyone a fool after his debacle at Duke.

How he still has any job is amazing to me.

The little things that A&M fans post about to fill like they have some sort of win.
