Did Austin bring in Chambliss and Lacy in the portal or was that after he left?

Do posters create alters or keep alter accounts on the shelf, per say, just to throw out theories or accusations towards coaching news?

He was on the balcony with Lane last night waiving like the Pope. Would be a savage firing after that.

The roster didn’t suck overall, the only position group that sucked was OL. Lack of talent evaluation in the OL room
Led to a misallocation of resources in the portal. Which led to a disaster of an offense not able to run the ball and not able to protect the QB in the passing game. And inept play calling and scheme, etc. etc etc

he was there before, and it didn't hurt us all THAT bad... and looking at the roster, he didn't exactly light it up, as much as people seem to think, here...

i mean, he's not bad, he's good, but he ain't this larger than life figure that some here seem to make him out to be...

I’m so tired of seeing this guy’s name at this point. Seems like a self important tool who has to overstate his own value to stay employed because he doesn’t actually do that much in reality



This post is not only stupid, it also shows out of touch you are with the running of our program.

Our NIL efforts before and after Thomas are night and day.

As was Ole Miss'.

He's the biggest loss, by far, of our coaching cycle. He was damn good at his job.

(Side note: I'm not sure Lane actually has the authority to fire Austin Thomas.)


So he was good at getting money, but crap at evaluating the talent it was spent on. Piss on him.

Has there been a formal announcement or anything confirming that Thomas has been let go?

It was said that Austin leaving Lane was not taken well by Lane.

Then we got to witness Austin Thomas NiL roster vs Kiffins NiL roster, and it was "duh", no brainer on AT at that point
