I don't know that Levitz is only writing LSH because he used to be President and Publisher, but there has to be some reason that he is, and that is the explanation that makes the most sense to me with the evidence I have.
Levitz returning to the Legion is like Claremont returning to the X-Men.  His name is synonymous with the property, so I think it was a no-brainer to give him the book, especially in the wake of the Waid reboot Legion fiasco.  Johns is obviously a big fan as well.  Levitz was out-the-door anyway, so I don't think the two were related -- he probably would have had a different book had the Legion been an active and successful property at the time of his departure.  The bottom line is that it wasn't, so any editor worth their salt would have jumped at the chance of Levitz's return (and I'm glad they did!).
