    I'm not reading anywhere that o didn't want him to begin with... Seems that decision was made above o... I think o would take him back but I'm not sure he would want to come back based on how he was treated with his contact...

    O would never turn AT away. Tried to get him paid over and over again.

    I'm not sure what the top pay is for administrative assistants, but I would imagine he was at or near the top.

    Really? For an administrative assistant on the football staff. How many SECW titles have we won since he has been with LSU?

    None of it... You quoted me saying that Austin not remaining with the team seemed to be a decision made above coach O's head with a question about secw titles... I'm not getting the correlation between the 2...

    It looks to me like he made the decision to leave on his own. How many SECW titles have we won since he has been the recruiting guru in charge?

    You are vastly underestimating his value to the program. Google it and see what Mike Detillier says about him.

    i don't have any inside info... the closest i have is bhelm and he seems to state the opposite... yeah, he left because promises were made that weren't kept... as far as championships while he was here, that would be zero, but i don't think he been in charge that long... i think O gave him that position last year... seems like he was credited with being a big reason why our recruiting class stayed mostly together when Miles was let go... Because of that class, we seem to be trending up...
