This is what I point to. So, Dinardo's hiring is probably the beginning. Even though he ended up failing, he showed that LSU was a sleeping giant in college football, and it led to Emmert and Bertman opening up the wallet for Saban. I remember when Saban was hired, he was given approximately $1.2 million per year, which was close to triple what LSU paid Dinardo. Emmert had the foresight to see that LSU would see a tremendous return on the investment with the right coach in place.

THIS is the answer...I don't think Saban considers LSU without the success Faulk brought!
