Remember this fricking guy?

Dave Aranda is set to hire a major figure in the world of SEC recruiting, as sources tell FootballScoop that Austin Thomas will leave Texas A&M to join Aranda in Waco.
Thomas has spent the past two seasons as the Aggies’ associate AD for football personnel. We’re told his title at Baylor will be general manager of football operations.
Thomas and Aranda worked together at LSU, where Thomas spent five years, rising to the role of general manager in 2016. He was the second personnel director in college football and the first in the SEC to hold the GM title.
He was selected by his peers as the FootballScoop Personnel Director of the Year in 2015.

You could have a hundred Austin Thomas' and still couldn't convince top talent to come to Waco, TX

so is he like the guy with a binder?

The 247 board thought there was a great chance he was going to come back to LSU. I guess O didn’t want him

Aranda still screwing Jimbo.
I approve of this move!

We began having depth issues on the lines when that guy was "managing the roster." I never got why everyone was so high on him.

Good hire, Dave. Hurts A&M and helps them. I'm all about it.

Austin Thomas is a unicorn. He's some mythical beast that has magical powers. Or he doesn't exist and is just a horse that someone gorilla glued a horn to his head.

Man, I’m so ready for some news out of LSU

Aranda has made solid moves thus far.
Clearly he paid attention during his time with O and LSU.
Props to him.

He looks 100% like an Aggie....

Looks like Aranda knows mostly people he worked with at LSU. Good luck to him, he may find out soon he doesn't want to be a HC.

Exactly what duties does the GM of football operations have?
Posted on 1/24/20 at 12:06 pm to sicboy
I just don’t get it. What does that skinny dweeb bring besides some organization? I feel like anyone with a brain and people skills could do his job.
Posted on 1/24/20 at 12:13 pm to sicboy
Austin always chasing the next pay raise even if it's minimal
Posted on 1/24/20 at 12:21 pm to sicboy
Frick that guy
Posted on 1/24/20 at 12:27 pm to sicboy
Hadn’t heard his name since he left LSU honestly
