Former Duke A.D. Joe Alleva Has Big Decision Coming Up

We haven't paid that much attention to Joe Alleva's time at LSU since he left Duke, but the Tiger's A.D. is squarely in the spotlight now.

Louisiana State is about to dump Les Miles, which seems both harsh and about right.

By that we mean harsh in general but about right by SEC standards. You'll likely remember that Ole Miss dumped David Cutcliffe one year after a 10-3 record.

Alleva has made it clear that change is coming, and apparently his target is Florida State's Jimbo Fisher.

LSU is obviously a better football school than Duke, but LSU fans should be aware that Alleva's hires at Duke included Carl Franks, Ted Roof and, just before he left, Cutcliffe.
