Joe Alleva

American athletics director

Joseph Louis Alleva (born c. 1952) is the former athletics director at Louisiana State University and Duke University.

Duke

[edit]

Alleva began as athletic director in 1998. Alleva hired three football coaches in his 11 years: Carl Franks, Ted Roof, and David Cutcliffe. Franks' record in his five years was 7–45, including two 0–11 seasons. Roof went 6–45. Despite an initial preference for former UCLA head coach Karl Dorrell, Alleva eventually settled on Cutcliffe as Roof's replacement.^[1] Cutcliffe won ACC Coach of the Year in 2012. His first baseball coach hired was Bill Hillier who compiled a 121–214 record.

In the beginning of the Duke lacrosse case, on April 5, 2006, Joe Alleva forced Duke lacrosse coach Mike Pressler to resign under threat and faced criticism for his handling of the case. In 2008, Alleva announced he was leaving Duke for the athletic director position at Louisiana State University.^[2]

As Rabalais pointed out in his story, Alleva was also responsible for the renovation of the school’s football facility.
It is first class and a real boost to recruiting.

The men’s basketball coach that Alleva hired has won 19 of his last 21 SEC regular season games, but Will Wade’s former boss threw shade on him.
