Eh not sure I'll give much credit to Joe for the Saban hire. If left up to him, DiNardo would have returned the next season
That quote in the article is directly from Herb Vincent. See quote below when Saban was hired. Bertman wasn't AD till 2001.
Joe gets all the credit for Saban. You couldn't be more wrong...

Nick Saban became the 31st head coach of the LSU Tigers on November 30, 1999, after five years as head coach at Michigan State.

Joe wanted to give DiNardo another year, Emmert made the call and also found Saban.
You couldn't be more wrong.
quote:
He had three great years, then the bottom fell out," Dean said. "A lot of coaching is about luck, and he didn't have any the last two years. I regret that. We had a good relationship. I really wanted to stay with him another year, but couldn't."

Joe also hired Pat Henry who won a few national championships while he was here. I'm guessing that you'd be hard-pressed to find another AD with two hires of this caliber on his/her resume.
