Mark Emmert, was heavily involved in luring Saban.


No one had to lure him. Saban was not approached, but he went after the job through his agent, Sexton (?). Emmert had the good sense to sign him up, though.

This is what happened - in fact, Sexton was approached by LSU to gauge Tuberville's interest (he had just finished his first year at Auburn, after leaving Ole Miss - albeit not in a pine box) - having already been given marching orders by both coaches, apparently, Sexton said, unprompted, "No, Tommy's not interested - but Nick Saban is."

The rest, as they say, is history.
