Saban can win anywhere in the SEC at this point based entirely on his coaching ability and his reputation.

I think this is close to accurate. If Saban had come to South Carolina after the Dolphins, could he have done it in 5-6 years? Not sure. Let's be honest, the Saban of MSU/LSU days was a high tier coach, but he wasn't some unstoppable force like he is perceived now. But when he went to Bama it was just such a huge story that his ability combined with the credibility provided by the media attention turned him into a machine.
Saban is half ability/half reputation. That isn't a slight, that is how it is in college coaching. But without the mega story of him going to Bama and what has followed since (which includes the ease of recruiting to Bama), I don't think he gets that level of talent into USC that quickly.

The name alone would draw top recruits to a school that they would have never gone to without him being there.
