Could Spurrier have landed at LSU in past other than 1987?

This may have been covered and i know we missed on him when we took Archer and pissed him off, but was he ever in the running any of the other years when we needed a change? looks like there were other opportunities and just wondering if 87 was our 1 chance or were there others? thanks
