You're probably right, but I'd be wrong.
I'm not at all taking anything away from the coaching job Miles has done. I think he's a great coach and he's done a fine job at LSU both coaching and recruiting.
I do however think that OP is right, in that LSU might not have even been able to get a coach like Les Miles to consider coming there without Saban's success. He took LSU from a team that wasn't necessarily a top-tier program to a destination job.
National Championships do that.

Well then how did we get a guy like Nick Saban to come to Baton Rouge if it was such a shitty job before he got here?
LSU has always been considered a great job in coaching circles, we just have historically done a piss poor job of hiring the right guys. Steve Spurrier, Bobby Bowden, Frank Thomas, Mike Shannahan and Ara Parsegian all wanted the LSU job at some point and we turned them down.
I know a lot of you think "the 90's" is all LSU was before Saban but you're just flat out wrong.
