All he is saying is Dinardo was the one who actually first got the ball rolling in the right direction after the diaster of the Hallman early 90's. The biggest recruit LSU ever got in the past 2 decades was Kevin Faulk in 95 because it changed the mindset of elite Louisiana players leaving the state for Fla. State, Tenn., Texas schools etc to begin staying home again and "build the wall around LA". He also brought brack a more winning mindset to the fanbase by starting recruiting the bash party on signing day.

While his coaching itself was inconsistent and his stubborness to keep coaches too long was his eventual downfall (Lou Tepper), your not telling the whole story if you can't see where he did in fact begin to pave the way for SABAN to come in a great situation and take LSU to the next elite Level. Just look at how many players on that 2001 SEC championship team were Dinardo recruits.
