I would offer to top anything Tennessee gives him
But I can understand him leaving if he did. Surely there is someone in the LSU family that can fill his role?

Put Miles to work to earn the massive amount of money we are giving him.

Not similar in any way. Frank was an on the field coach while Thomas works in the office. The impact Frank had at a LSU is far greater than anything Thomas has done at LSU and will have at Tennessee

This has nothing to do with Alleva and money. I have an ear pretty close to the ground on this one.

JV can step back in and be a solid replacement. Don't know if he would have any interest. Hell, didn't Keven Mawae apply for an admin job and get turned away a few years back.

I don’t disagree with you.

Our AD is still an incompetent imbecile though.

Note: Thomas did turn down several opportunities in NFL to at LSU with O.


False. But just keep spouting whatever nonsense you can come up with that makes O looks decent.

The truth is Thomas could have went back to Tennessee at anytime over the last several yrs. I will let you connect the dots as to why now all of a sudden Thomas is ready to leave for Tennessee.

Over the last several yrs all of the so called insiders preached that Thomas came back to LSU after a yr at USC because he loved LSU and it was the place he felt most comfortable. They also said he would never leave LSU unless it was for a job in the NFL as his dream job is to become a GM in the NFL one day. You don't think O could pull some strings to get Thomas a raise if the only reason he is leaving is for money?

I wouldn't be surprised at all if Ponamsky soon gets a nice promotion

I'm sure his father didn't want him working for Butch Jones. I wouldn't be surprised if Butch never even called him tho.

when our waiver expires next year, what's so irreplaceable about Thomas? he's a beast contacting recruits but he's losing that ability next year (i still have no idea how he was allowed to do it this year)

Desire to return home or remorseful over his role in the coup?
