Was LSU ever as "all in" with Saban as Bama is?

It seems with the current situation, that our president, our clueless AD, TAF, Boosters in general, O, and the fan base, that right now no one at LSU is one the same page.
Looking back, did Saban have that "all in" at LSU that he does at Bama - now and since he was hired?
One of the reasons for Bama s current success (in addition to the red F-150s) is their total commitment to every minute aspect of the program.
I think that's what is holding us back. You know there are factions at Bama as well (those who don't want to see Saban eclipse their Bear god), but have put that aside for the good of the program.
To keep Saban in a lowly burg like Tuscaloosa, it's more than just money. He is the king of that program, and no one questions him on anything.
Did he REALLY have that blank check here?

yes, to a point.
Our administration knew what it took to win at that point.
Saban was very demanding of LSU and Skip gave him almost everything he wanted.
See the cox communication academic center and the football ops center.

the administration pretty much did everything he asked for...football ops center, the study center for athletes, probably some other stuff.
ETA: No he was always listening to other offers. I didn't understand question at first

No one has ever been as all in with any coach as Bama is with Saban

Yes and no, Saban (Sexton) was flirting with the NFL from about season 2 on. So it's a little different situation at Bama.

Skip Bertman's ego let Saban slip away. Saban was torn with Miami, and Skip drew and line on salary that today is chump change. Blame Skip on not wanting to get into a salary war with Miami. Savan would have stayed.
