Wilson Alexander of The Advocate reports that LSU is hiring Austin Thomas back to the personnel department for a third time.

Thomas worked under former LSU head coaches Les Miles and Ed Orgeron in different roles and spent the last two seasons at Ole Miss as the Rebel's Chief of Staff.
quote:

Austin Thomas has been hired after two years as the chief of staff at Ole Miss, sources told The Advocate on Friday.

This will be Thomas’ third stint at LSU. He worked for the Tigers from 2013-17, then returned for the 2021 season to help oversee roster management and daily operations. As the general manager at the time, he held a key role in LSU’s scouting and recruiting departments.

Thomas was not retained at the time as LSU coach Brian Kelly overhauled staff upon his arrival from Notre Dame. He’s now returning to play a key role in roster management and personnel.

Great decision. He was not let go by CBK. When AD Phil Fulmer and UT lured him away from CEO & LSU the last time because of his Tenn roots his agent and Phil messed him over. Prior to taking the A&M and Baylor jobs he was courted by Saban, but declined. He’s a quality personnel and football operations leader. Glad he’s back.

All that is left is to bring back Brian Polian as an Analyst and we’ll be really cooking!

We beat Alabama when Polian was on Staff.

So basically Kelly fired great people and is having to hire back half the original staff. Good use of buyout money.
