Joe Alleva is three weeks removed from his closed-door meeting with football coach Ed Orgeron and his two coordinators.
The Tigers at the time had lost two of their last three games, including a home loss against Troy that stopped a non-conference winning streak that stretched back to 2000.
LSU has since won three consecutive games, all against SEC schools, and two of those came on the road. LSU has a bye this week and will play Nov. 4 at top-ranked Alabama with a chance to snag a lead in the SEC West.
"We went through a couple of rough games," Alleva said Tuesday as he spoke at the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation Quarterback Club luncheon at Rock 'n' Bowl on Carrollton Avenue in New Orleans.
