How do you know Orgeron was hired based on who he could get as an assistant?

Um, because it was widely reported that this was the case. Alleva even specifically commented on it. Here is an excerpt from the Advocate story on Os hiring:

Equipped with two thick binders detailing his long-term plans, Orgeron met with Alleva and committee members Friday morning to outline coaching staff adjustments, including the hiring of a proven and successful offensive coordinator. The Advocate has learned that Orgeron will first go after Alabama's Lane Kiffin, a friend and former co-worker of Orgeron's.

“I’m telling you, the names we’re talking about are phenomenal,” Alleva said, without mentioning Kiffin. “You put that combination together. I think (Orgeron is) the best situation for us at LSU, and there’s no doubt in my mind. He’s going to hit the ground running.”

Like I said, dumb as rocks, but that's what happened.
