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

Orgeron has turned out to be a fantastic hire. Great results at a competitive cost for today’s standards. Still it has to be said Alleva and LSU completely botched the process since late 2015 to the moment of the hiring. Result is more a fluke than a great decision process. The same season UGA let go of Ritch. Not identical but similar situation. UGA did it the right way, LSU did not.

Who knows what really happened. Since Orgeron has played Fisher and Herman, the 2 other coaches associated with that process/decision, several articles have been out commenting and researching what went on behind the scenes. Not all of them coincide, and you can see very different perspectives depending on who you ask.
