Words of wisdom here my friend. When I start feeling overly dramatic about the loss, it's nice to come back to reality w/ posts like this one. I thank you.
I have to vote no. It would be more appropriate to ask others as to whether or not Alleva plays the role of sucker far better than the carrying out of his official duties as the athletic director. Surely that would garner a consensus of the "yeas". As far as the raise and the extension goes, one takes what he can get, or should I say what his agent can get. Les Miles' agent would be an absolute fool if he didn't try to turn the Arkansas offer into a sweeter deal for both he and his client. Joe Alleva should have made the easy decision and called Les Miles' bluff. By not doing so, Alleva clearly labeled himself as the ultimate fool. All the while Miles and his agent are busily sifting through their plunder.
