It was, but Pete has been a long-time part of Kiffin's life and very influential with him.

Lane has a longer and more personal relationship with Carroll because he was tight with Lane's dad. Monte helped jump start Carroll's whole coaching career and then Carroll turned around and repaid that debt by jumpstarting Lane's career, Lane had been around Carroll since he was a little kid. Carroll knew the personal button to push to get Lane to take the job. When Lane was weighing his options, Carroll told him that Monte (who had recently passed) would have wanted him to take the LSU job.

For whatever sour grapes our fans have towards Carroll for his USC and maybe even the Seahawk years, he definitely gave us a big assist in getting Kiffin. He was much more blunt and declarative in telling Kiffin he should come here, contrasted with Saban who was a little more cryptic and less overt in his advice.
