re: Saban did not build LSU into a powerhouse. Mark Emmert did.

The cultural shift may have started with Mark Emmert and the influential people around him like Skip and Emmert's ability to convince the BoS that a winning CFB program at LSU pays large financial dividends so invest in it,
Agreed. What is a shame is that Bob Brodhead had these same visions almost 20 years earlier and could not get past the LSU political machine. Man was not without his faults but a lot of the things that came to pass later were similar to his ideas.

I believe Saban said when he got the LSU job was, why hasn't LSU won a national championship with all this talent. The talent was here, we just needed a no-nonsense coach to put us over the top. Plus he showed Emmert what he needed to do this and hired the top co-ordinators that he could find. That took money, and Saban got to write the checks.
