I think his record at MSU is proof that you don't rebuild a program overnight. He obviously inherited a hell of a lot more talent at LSU than he did at MSU.

oh i'll help you. lost to wisconsin in '95 (didn't play Ohio State) lost to michigan in '96 (didn't play Ohio State) lost to michigan and ohio st in '97 (didn't play wisconsin) lost to michigan in '98 (didn't play wisconsin) lost to wisconsin in '99 the truth really is a bitch, ain't it?
Dinardo did leave some talent here. Saban wasn't a god at Michigan State, but he also had access to a far more fertile recruiting ground at LSU and Alabama and 2 programs willing to spend more money than MSU does. That helps. That being said I think he could win championships at Georgia if he were there, Tennessee, Auburn, and Florida. Could he win one at Mississippi State, Kentucky, Arkansas? I don't think so, maybe who knows.
Unfortunately, after winning the 2003 National Championship, his 2004 campaign was pretty bleak, going 9-3 with a loss to Iowa in the bowl game. People would've burned the campus down at that time if LSU had paid that to retain Saban.
