The reason the coverup looks so "thrown together" is that it may very well be just that; a last minute scramble to implicate a lone assassin and avoid a nuclear exchange with the USSR. LBJ and the WC, should the truth ever come out, may go down in History one day as patriotic heroes that saved the lives of 120 million Americans.
You may be forgetting some basics here. There was a very obvious effort to set up Oswald for the hit during the six or eight weeks prior to the assassination, probably starting with Harvey Oswald's memorable performance at the Fair Play for Cuba charade in NOLA. But there was also the attempt by "Oswald" to buy rifles from Castro's friend and gunrunner, Robert McKeown, and then the string of set-ups in and around Dallas, probably by Lee Oswald, including,
LEE Oswald's numerous visits to the Sports Dome Rifle Range, often making a scene, often stating his name, at least once getting his scope sighted.
LEE Oswald's visit to Morgan's Gun Shop and Dial Ryder's to buy ammo and get his scope mounted (supposedly already mounted on the Klein's rifle).
LEE Oswald's visit to the Downtown Lincoln Mercury dealership to test drive a car, where he announced he would soon be coming into money (American-born Lee Oswald had a Texas driver's license, Russian-speaking Harvey Oswald didn't).
Job applications at the high-rise Statler Hilton Hotel and, later, the Southland Building, where he asks if there is a good view of downtown Dallas from the roof.
If memory serves, at a number of these occasions he announces that he hates President Kennedy.
There was a Hollywood movie starring Burt Lancaster about this very set-up called Executive Action.
