Why does Austin Thomas who probably does more than anyone on the FB staff make the least amount? Also supposedly F King is putting caps on assistant salaries. If this is true someone needs to step up and tell him to stay out of TAF business

Because the actual coaches probably wouldn't like that.

How'd they sneak Canada and Aranda's salary past him?

Why are you comparing his salary to position coaches?

It never ceases to amaze me how many job and salary experts we have on this board. Everyone knows that this guy makes too much/not enough and who is doing their jobs the best.

It's like a damn HR department in here.

Except actually coach right? Look, I like Austin Thomas a lot, but to suggest that a guy who doesn't actually have a position coaching x's and o's, should make more than a guy who does is kind of silly. He's able to do more recruiting because that's his job. Just as it's the primary job for the coaches to coach during the season, then off season they go recruit. If Austin Thomas was worth that much more, he'd be getting paid that much more right now. That's how this works.

ETA - They also paid almost 240k to buyout Robinson from his USC contract.

So now the nitwits on this board who more than likely couldn't run a snowball stand are going to discuss salaries and contracts for the football program?

This board is hilarious.

Last I heard, the Athletic Department was part of LSU and "F King" is Chancellor of LSU so he should have a hand in setting limits on the pool for assistant salaries.

Explain that

Have you compared salaries for others in his role?

Do you think a janitor who does more "work" than an engineer should get paid more?

Do you think AT backtracked across the country to LSU did so because he was going to accept an unfair salary???
