re: How close was LSU to getting Tua?

Before ed o fricked up the whole lane kiffin thing and hired his future arch nemesis

O and Kiffin had a deal. If Kiffin couldn't find a head coaching job, he was coming to LSU. Kiffin got the FAU deal. So O had to find an OC.

The only reason why O said he would get the best OC in the country when he was hired is that he thought he would end up with Kiffin. Thus, when Kiffin found a head job, coach O then had to hire another OC.

Had O not expected to hire Kiffin, he would have promoted Ensminger to OC instead of hiring Canada.
