re: Had Nick Saban stayed at Michigan St. would he have won a National Championship there?

Dantonio took MSU to bowls 12 of the last 13 years and made a CFP. It's not a stretch to say that Saban would probably have won one or more NC's over the past 21 seasons.

How many Big10 teams won a National Title the last 30 years not named National brand Ohio State?
And it was a struggle for them let alone how it would be for Michigan State.
If like Meyer, Saban had won some national titles in the SEC and then used his cache in the Big10 maybe?
But even Myer had a tough road to hoe and that was at Ohio State where he had won big at Florida.
I don't think you can be a regular coach without winning big elsewhere and take a regular Big10 team without a big name to the National Title in the North.
Saban benefited greatly and became a great coach mining Louisiana talent.
Then he was a bum in the NFL and then became a super coach combining the South's talent and Alabama's name.
Let's not pretend that circumstances don't make the man.

Saban was an average coach at MSU bases off of his record other than that last year where he went 9-2 and moved on to LSU. The ultimate question is was Coach Saban the same coach at LSU that he was at MSU and by working with better athletes it made him elite or did Coach Saban become a better coach overall and with better he became elite? In other words was he elite at MSU already and we didn't realize it because he didn't have the athletes or did he improve that much as a Coach at LSU plus having the athletes make him elite?
