Go look at Saban's records before coming to LSU. In your theory, you wouldn't want him here either.

1995 Michigan State 6–5–1 4–3–1 5th L Independence
1996 Michigan State 6–6 5–3 5th L Sun
1997 Michigan State 7–5 4–4 6th L Aloha
1998 Michigan State 6–6 4–4 6th
1999 Michigan State 9–2* 6–2 T–2nd Invited to Citrus*

I'm for Coach O, but your reasoning is dumb.

Saban inherited a Mich St program that had not had a winning season in 4 years and was hit with a reduction of 9 scholarships while he was there.

O inherited an Ole Miss program that was 44-29 the previous 6 seasons and 2 years removed from a tie for first in the SEC West.

Not quite the same situation.

Saban, Jimbo and Hermann were also accomplished coordinators by the time they became head coaches. O has never been a coordinator. The only time he has had charge of a program from top to bottom it got worse, not better.

He spent tons of time at USC on different occasions. They knew him well. They did not hire him. This should tell you something.
