Not sure what to say about Austin. Everyone on the message boards hold him in such high regards but our evaluations have flat out sucked. Ole Miss has done a much better job of building a roster than we have the last few years


I get downvoted everytime I say it, but the offensive and defensive lines started going to shite while he was "managing the roster" under Miles. I don't think the guy has anywhere near the administrative or evaluation skills he is purported to have.

He straight up said LSU doesn’t build through the portal after his first season


and then over corrected and almost completely relied on it.

I think he realized those were easier transactions than the recruiting battles.

didnt miss on him


I’d say he was a “miss” in terms of not doing a single thing to help the team. Ball security issues, liability in the run game, couldn’t even block on the FG/PAT units. All we needed was a Mitch Joseph steady Eddie type to be a security blanket. I’d also blame the playcallers for over-involving him in the gameplans.

But that’s just 1 guy. Overall I would say AT did pretty well however much he was involved in the portal. And i cant tolerate Brown slander. He would have been so much more effective if we had a QB that could get the ball down the field.
