“Will serve a key role in personnel.”

Also was posted on the CC board but figured it needed a rant thread as well.

Old Lane was butt hurt for a reason apparently. He got his little heart ripped out.

Welcome back. Hopefully he'll do an excellent job in the 2 years he'll be here.

There were posters advocating for him to be the AD 5 years ago.

He wouldn't be coming if the new staff didn't think he could help and be integral to recruiting.

And he wouldn't come back if he didn't like LSU and what the job represents.

So there are two good reasons to believe that it is only positive and good for the program.

I am one of those that don't understand what he does...But whatever it is Kelly thinks it makes a difference.

So he won’t be involved in NIL?

Nor was he ever involved with it at Ole Miss

They need to let this guy go for good. It's getting ridiculous how often he leaves and comes back.

All I remember about Austin Thomas was, Tennessee was his territory and he pulled in S JaCoby Stevens and LB Jacob Phillips two of the best defensive players in the state and two very important pieces to a National Championship team. And I also remember feeling sick when he split for USC I think and trust I’m ecstatic that he’s back because AT had a lot to do with that Championship.

Has anyone on the LSU staff ever been more over rated than this guy?

Didn’t he leave the couple of times not in good standing? Like he was toxic in the building?
