Is Austin Thomas working in college football these days?

After leaving LSU supposedly he was going home to Tennessee but that didn’t work out. There was word the Weebles were making a run at him, nothing came of that as well as the supposed other SEC teams that were after him. Just curious if he landed somewhere in CFB.

He won "Douche of the Year" award. He believed his own hype because of the praise of TD.

He was tGOAT until he left LSU then he all of a sudden became an overrated douche.
I don’t understand.

He burned his bridge at UT because he wanted control of all personnel hiring/firing except for the HC, so basically he wanted to usurp the AD's and HC's authority. UT told him thanks but no thanks. Then he appeared to dick around Ole Miss before they finally told him to take a hike. Guy sounds like a highly entitled douche. He's 32 years old with very little experience and for whatever reason thinks he has earned a lot more than he actually has.
He was good at what he did at LSU, which wasn't a whole lot, but what he has demanded going forward is absurd

He was apparently responsible for our recruiting during the end of Miles tenure. Where we had massive holes in both of our lines on the depth chart.

He was allowed to recruit by a waiver granted due to Jenkins' age. From what it sounds like, he wants to be the AD without the title and to be able to recruit. No college football program is going to give him a job consistent with his demands.

I wasn't impressed. He made some nice connections and was apparently a genuine dude who recruits related to but I don't think he did his job well with managing a roster.

He started rubbing schools the wrong way with how he left Tennessee and then he did something that pissed off Ole Miss when they inquired about him. Also don't forget about the thing with Traore

He has been hired by the AGGIES. Truth

The 3 or 4 time recruiter of the year and 2nd ranked recruiter of the decade didn't go with him.
This guy is the dude who relates to high school kids.
An old picture:
This is your recruiter at LSU and has always been. Eaux talked him up to pay him more money because he hated making copies, couldn't figure out the fax machine and was too busy recruiting to get red bulls out of his refrigerator.

Too bad. Dude is an awful HC.

Yep, too bad he has built the quality and depth on both the defensive and offensive lines like he has. It sucks he has Aranda as his defensive coordinator and the players to kick some serious arse.
It probably really sucks for you that Joe Burrow just signed papers to attend LSU for his last two years.
I hope you have better luck in three years when Jeaux is gone and once again be happy.
Who knows maybe Eaux won't recruit four transfers that are immediate starters and the D and Oline guys quit coming to LSU. Good Luck !!!

I believe he was hired by Jerry Jones to make all future personnel decisions for the Cowboys.

Austin was doing a damn fine job for us. Recruit evals, or the material for them, was damn good and a valuable resource for the coaches with the final say. The media/eval resources of players needed some work, and he didn't get that done.
Somewhere along the line when he decided better opportunities were elsewhere, it went off the rails. And he both fricked up his entry into a UT, and his exit from LSU (simultaneously).

I'm curious as what happened at Ole Miss with him then maybe one of their posters can inform

He's planning Bar Mitzvah and Quinceanera parties. I can't believe LSU was able to schedule JB's trip to Baton Rouge without Thomas' superhuman organizational skills.

That's why he wanted more control. Wasn't his decisions who could/couldn't get a ship at LSU. The coaching staff picked who they wanted and he focused on recruiting them.
