Lou was X, Y, or Z.
If you think the plan was "let's chase guys we have no chance of getting, then hire X, Y or Z", then that would mean X, Y or Z were their actual first second and third choices. So they would've been getting one of their top 3 choice....which wouldn't be a terrible hire after all.
But in reality, as I stated, you weren't in the meetings. The guys who we didn't get may have been terrible interviews, may have had different defensive philosophies than what we were looking for, or in the case of the U of FL DC, just didn't want to relocate, and got an upped offer from their current employer. Your first 8 words in your reply validate exactly what I am putting forth.
