YouTube is your friend. Know your history.

The biggest games Dye went into an offensive shell. Coach Bryant would always have something extra in the biggest games.

Yeah, like the biggest talent advantage in the game? THAT something extra? Or are you going to try and tell me Dye had anything approaching what Bryant had, roster-wise? Because, if so, it's you who needs to "know your history".

Dye was the best football coach in Auburn history because he turned Auburn from a lower middle of the pack SEC program into a yearly contender... with less resources than many at the time. He ended Alabama having an annual home advantage in the Iron Bowl and was a pretty decent AD. Shug would be my next entry because he also had a huge hill to climb and won a national championship.
