Saban never really wanted to come to LSU and he would have bailed a lot sooner of the deal had been right. Practically every year LSU fans had to endure the end of season kabuki dance with one or another NFL team.
That seems to be a common theme about Saban regardless of the source. He was reluctant to come to LSU and wanted to go back to MSU and was constantly looking to leave LSU
Why is Alabama the one job where he seems to want to stay? I think he could have won more national titles at LSU and I even think he would have won one at Michigan State.

Not certain but his NFL stock may have taken a tumble. Not for his dismal record in Miami but for bailing the way he did. To leave Bama it would be for another college program. Why leave?

Because that's where he ended up, for lack of a better term. All the other schools, including LSU, were stepping stones to the NFL. When the NFL didn't work out, the timing was right for him to step back down to Alabama. He didn't get what he wanted in the NFL, but he found a place in a major football program that already had a good brand that he can still leave a legacy for himself. Do I wish he'd have had an offer from Texas/USC/ND at the time instead of Bama? Yes. Do I think he's still a slime ball and hope that he never wins another game? Absolutely, but the reasoning why he settled at Bama makes sense.

He is treated as a god and can basically set his price and terms. It will continue as such until he has a losing season - which may not happen.
