Jesus dude, is it not obvious.

No, it's really not. You're basically saying Les could see 2 years in the future and that Thomas came here because he also could see into the future that Orgeron would be hired as an assistant.

How the hell would LSU know Austin Thomas existed and was breathing air on this beautiful planet?

Maybe he'd built up a reputation and it spread by word of mouth? Maybe it was on the recomendation of Orgeron, I don't know. But this notion that he was hired 2 years in anticipation of Orgeron coming here and he'd have never come here without this vision of the future where Orgeron comes here is ludicrous even by your standards.

How many times has an administration person been hired away by another a major program???

Uh, I'd imagine it's fairly frequent. I'm not saying he and Orgeron don't have a bond or a good working relationship or that Orgeron being here wasn't motivation for him coming back here from USC, but let's not act like in 2013 he was hired at LSU because he and Les anticipated hiring Orgeron 2 years down the line.
