re: Alleva replacement

At the risk of looking like an idiot for taking the time to post this in a generic fire Alleva thread...

I think Chet Gladchuck at the Naval Academy would be a solid choice if we strikeout on bigger names. Guy has experience with doing more with less, which hopefully would translate well to a place with LSU level resources.

Under Chet USNA's Football program has become semi-relavent again. He resurrected a dead program with the Paul Johnson hire in '01 and maintained that success with Niamat after Johnson left. He also led a successful transition from being an independent to being in the hunt for a conference title in the AAC. The team makes a bowl game most years and has a solid record against rivals during his time.

Potential risk though is his fixation on football has seen a regression in other sports. Lacrosse (important there) and baseball have gotten worse in the last decade. Basketball is on the upswing, but it had the longest active losing streak at one point when I was there. My .02 as an Alum of both schools.
