It was stated by virtually every talking head who could grab a mic here in Canada. Maybe that didn't filter down to LA that much. But here is an article by Scott Burnside for ESPN that spells it out pretty clearly:

Also features a cameo column by Lebrun that says: "This could be Lombardi's last coaching hire in Los Angeles. So, with his own job on the line, Lombardi reached out to someone he trusts."
It wouldn't take much digging to find plenty more like these two I don't think.
