"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.

He was? He offered Chavis more money than A&M - guaranteed - if he would stay. Chavis said no. That's a matter of court record.

Why, because he had no other choice than O?

Your kidding yourself if you believe hiring O was the master plan all along, there was just no one else

Flat out lie...Jumbo would’ve been the coach at LSU if F King Alcoholic didn’t squash the deal over “optics”...have that on good sources not any DALSU crap on this board

Alleva is full of fricking shite.

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

We was right to put a Les clause in his contract even if it made Chavis pissy.

Yeah, the shite I've heard from people is the same. Alleva wanted Jimbo and his agent had even communicated what it would take to get him and Alleva was pressured into not spending that kind of money because of the budget optics.

But he offered to take it out and fully guarantee the contract.

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.

Believe what? That you're handcuffed to the 4th highest paid coach in the country to go .500 in conference? Yeah, I believe that.

No but it is fun to say it.

I think Woodward had a blank checkbook at A&M and the fanbase/boosters were clear that you guys wanted Jimbo and he made it happen.

As much shite as we give you, I still think it was a good hire and Sumlin left a bigger rebuilding job than people realize. Mond is what is holding you guys back, Jimbo needs his QB.

The AD doesn't actually coach the football team, you know this right?
