maybe in that 2 mos they reviewed all potential candidates and the final 3 were Jimbo, Herman, and Orgeron
What does that even mean though?
In this scenario one is not like the others. You have two legit either current or thought of as top tier head coaches, and then you have a coach who has not sniffed a full time head coaching gig since Ole Miss fired him. How does Orgeron even get to be #3 on this list...frick, ANY list, other than squatter's rights on the office?
The only way any of this makes any sense at all, is if essentially NO ONE but Orgeron wanted this job. If that's not the case, then I think the OP's question is a legit one///because it seems to ask how many other candidates were vetted, by whom, why did they not past muster, etc.
Because from this vantage point, it looks EXACTLY like what the OP suggests. O was the guy all along and at the very last minute there was a half-assed attempt to go with two big names and then the fall back plan.

Fedora wanted it. His agent contacted LSU. Alleva and Fedora have history together. Alleva hinted that they did preliminary feelers out to other coaches via back channels 247 site reported as much. If you hear the names that were thrown around, Holgersen, McIntyre and Gundy were most probably contacted via back channels. If you assume they were part of a list then there was some type of interest. People who say we had no chances at Jimbo or Hermann are wrong too. Well, not with Hermann after UTa job was open. But if Strong wins at least 7 games this year Hermann would have ended up at LSU.
