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

No, I don't think so.
It's hard to imagine Michigan State beating any of the eventual champions. They weren't beating the early 2000s champions---Miami, Ohio State, USC, Texas. Then you start getting into a period where the SEC was its most dominant. I realize a big part of that dominance was a Nick Saban led Alabama but if Saban never goes to Bama I think that void just gets filled by LSU, Florida. Meyer might have kept it together at Florida if he didn't have Nick Saban in conference.
I just don't see where there was a window for Michigan State to win it all. I think the reference to Ferentz earlier in the thread is spot on.

Yeah...there you go.
You just can't count out USC's dominance during that period getting all the recruits that the Big10 hopes for and then the SEC's total dominance and say a Big10 team would win during that period...
Only the blue bloods in the North had access to that trophy and only one could do it.
I think if he left LSU to go back to Michigan State, maybe there's a possibility. But nobody was talking about Michigan State while he was there. Nick Saban came on the radar once he won with LSU.
