re: Aranda hiring Austin Thomas as general manager of football operations (that's a thing)

I thought he left on bad terms?

Coach O wasn’t happy that he left, and mistakenly thought he was going after players in play for LSU but he didn’t. They’re cool now.

I know this for a fact. UT and his agent didn’t do him right and he learned from it big time. Coach FulMer let Coach Pruitt make the call on what job he took and that’s not what was discussed prior to him resigning from LSU and getting on the plane. His agent, Jimmy Sexton’s Lt., told him to trust them without the offer in writing.

Lester Earle you beat me to this.

Austin Thomas pulled two 5 star guys from Tennessee that started this year for LSU. Maybe you’ve heard of Jacoby Stevens & Jacob Phillips lol

Austin is from the Nashville area and got Mr Football in TN to come to LSU. He’s good! There were some heavy hitter coaches in Nashville trying to land him.
