Louisiana is a right to hire, right to fire state. You indicate you were in negotiations-that indicates no completed contract.

Yes. With any contract, unless the offer is what we call an "irrevocable offer" (meaning that the offer states that it cannot be withdrawn within a certain time frame), any offer may be withdrawn up until the moment it is accepted. The contract is not complete unless and until the offer is accepted.
