I'll give him 2-3 years to fix it, but if we are having this same conversation in 2019, we should start looking. How long is the $12 mil and what does it drop to?
$8.5 million in 2018, $6 million in 2019, $4.5 million in 2020 and $1 million for the final year. Les gets 9 mill over 6 years. I know because I cross off the days like a prisoner. Allevas the best.
It was a 50/50 prediction. I picked LSU by 3 because I'm a homer but I had a bad feeling about that game. Herbie was 50/50, I was 50/50/90.
No it was a 1 in 4 prediction. 7 pt dogs win only 25% of the time. Coinflips yes. Football no. Unless you pick against the spread.
Penalties, and mental mistakes, are some of those things that can be fixed. However, I've always heard issues like those in a game fall back on the coaching staff--not the players. (Although I tend to think the fault lies on both sides.) What I find noteworthy is we've seen mental mistakes and stupid penalties kill drives and cost LSU games the last few seasons. It's been chalked up to a "lack of discipline" in a lot of cases. From my perspective, that problem(s) seem worse today than they did a couple of years ago. Not exactly true, tirk. It's a good case in point to bring up though. The "courtship" of Rich Rod was a result of people in the Administration trying to exert influence over a football program. You had an AD (who actually understood football) going against the academic administration. It led to, and will continually lead to (no matter the school) bad decisions. (Very glad Rita is a flake.) Unless Alleva is out? I can see that 12MM figure being a stumbling block especially since Joe said one of the main reasons he didn't let Miles go two years ago was due to financial concerns.
I didn't like the hire either but it is what it is and you don't fire or abandon after 1 loss albeit was a thrashing. The last time I saw an LSU team look like that was when Saban lost to Alabama I think in 01? Maybe it was 02 I can't remember.
