re: LSU fought hard to try and get Barry Odom according to The Late Kick

Its still not outside the realm of possibility that O went after Odom regardless of him already being at Arkansas

O may have tried, but no coach who wants to keep a decent reputation would leave an SEC DC job for a school in the same division of the same conference without coaching a down. This is especially true for someone in Odom’s position. Remember that the man just crashed and burned at his alma mater and was fired. That has a way of reminding a guy that success is never guaranteed and your next gig as a DC is just around the corner. If this was out there, it would have been a bad move on his part.
