What's the story behind this hire? Watched the Duke lacrosse 30 for 30 last night and this guy just seems suspect. Was he the main candidate for the job? Did he have some sort of connection?

They thought he was Sam Waterston when he walked in for the interview. And they were so surprised when he didn't try to sell them Robot Insurance, they hired him on the spot.
You know, Robots eat old people's medicine for fuel.

Because nobody at LSU has any signs of a brain whatsoever. That's the only option i have as to why he was hired.

Are you expecting an informed answer?

He was clearly hired because of his remarkable ability to navigate and diffuse volatile situations for the betterment of the university as a whole.

Well Duke more national titles in his 10 years there than any other. He skyrocketed fundraising, made some nice hires (including Cutcliffe), and put up some nice facilities.
The Duke scandal is a blakc eye to his resume, but I look at the situation similar to the UVA rape situation. just some human mistakes and the fact the media applies so much presure
He's fricked up our previous 2 men's basketball hires, but he's also made some nice hires and built some fantastic facilities. He's not great, but I wouldn't trade him over a good bit of AD's. He's also head of the special olympics in Lafayette, which is why I laugh when people insist he's some tPOS

He had a good plan for the facilities that Bertman had let run down, and he could raise $$$ better than televangelicalist.

There are many theories.
One is that he is an Alabama mole.
This is another theory:

The other theory that seems to be plausible is, frick LSU.
Either way, they should have fired Joe Allegra two years ago.

This answers part of your question: We had a field of six, according to this NOLA TP article from the time.
LINK
1. Duke AD Joe Alleva
2. FSU AD Dave Hart, Jr.
3. LSU Sr Assoc AD Verge Ausberry
4. FAU AD Craig Angelos
5. UK Dep. AD Rob Mullens
6. LSU Sr. Assoc AD Herb Vincent
We were never going to hire someone without AD experience (even though the two inside guys are great people), so that eliminated Ausberry, Vincent, and Mullens.
I think it must have come down to Alleva, Hart, and Angelos. I guess Alleva probably had the best pitch of the three of them. Hart, of course, had his own difficulties at FSU. Angelos moved on to USF in 2012.
