I’ve never posted a single thing about Thomas before this thread and think he is the biggest rantard myth around. LSU Recruiting didn’t fold when Nick Saban left, when Larry Porter left, when Frank Wilson left, and it certainly won’t die because some front office nerd leaves.


I just find it interesting that a guy that the admin put so much stock in didn’t even bother to find out what his new job, responsibilities, compensation was going to be before leaving LSU where he was being very well compensated and had achieved a cult following as some sort of recruiting ace. Almost as if he couldn’t wait to leave.

Speculative. He was a graduate intern at UT the year before O got there and then served under Monte Kiffin as a defensive assistant in 09 before moving with the Kiffins to USC in 2010 before coming to LSU in 2013.

If anything, Austin is the one that vouched to get O on staff at LSU in 2015.
