Alleva has been garbage since day one. He was bad at his last job.

Austin Thomas is literally the Nick Saban of Directors of Player Personnel.

Tennessee is home for him, he might take slightly less money just to be near family and friends he grew up with.

This board thinks "director of player personnel" is an important job? Why? I have NEVER even heard of the job before some chicken littles starting talking about this Austin Thomas dude

So you cretins really think he makes a difference? Jesus Christ it is a feather bedding job

Ask our players if AT was a big reason they came to LSU. I’d be willing to bet that he played an important role in getting most of them on campus. That said, he’s not the only guy in the country that can do his job. But, it is a very important position he holds, and if he leaves, O needs to make the right hire, and not just bring on a buddy of his.

Why do people think he's going to leave?

Alleva needs to go, but it's not because of Austin Thomas possibly leaving.

Replace him with Lemoyne from tcu.

Former Neville coach, among others.

Tremendous contacts and relationships with high school coaches all over north Louisiana.

Hell, retire Ensminger and make lemoyne TE coach.

He would get a raise if he came to UT.

It's Alleva's fault that orgeron chooses to pay Ponamsky way more to do his political bidding?

Volquest update today said Thomas wants to return to Tennessee. Our former director of Ops was fired this morning so the position is now vacant.

Now that's substance. If so then I could see it happening.

I love AT but we had top 5 classes before he got here, and we’ll have top 5 classes after he goes. O was involved in creating that role, so I’m confident he can fill it with someone else (including possibly an AT buddy/protégé that is currently with Frank Wilson at UTSA).

O is way overpaid so maybe he should fork over some of his money.

Where the hell is this rumor coming from? I hate Alleva with a passion so I’m definitely not taking up for him.

I have not seen any articles referring to potential of Austin Thomas leaving but this storyline has took off like wildfire on this board.
