re: Was LSU ever as "all in" with Saban as Bama is?

Skip Bertman's ego let Saban slip away. Saban was torn with Miami, and Skip drew and line on salary that today is chump change. Blame Skip on not wanting to get into a salary war with Miami. Savan would have stayed.

back then it wasn't chump change. it says something when Saban, who made it known he wanted to coach in the NFL, was torn between the best offer in the history of NFL coaching offers and LSU

If Skip would have given in in 2004, we would have been right back in the same situation in 2005 with Saban flirting with the NFL, and the next time would have been post Katrina. We will never know, but would Saban had stayed to help recovery efforts post Katrina? IMO, he doesn't seem like the type. That would have been his excuse to leave.
As for the original question, I would say no program in CFB is as "locked in" as Bama. They are willing to walk the fine line on the NCAA rules to make sure every deck is stacked in their favor. Many other programs aren't willing to do that.
Also, Saban never recruited like this when he was at LSU.
