re: This REALLY ticks me off re: Pat Dye

I figured someone would call me out for calling dye a coward. He may not have used to have been a coward, but saying something like that about a kid who plays football for the school you represent is cowardly, sorry


Again, I really really respect dye for what he did for auburn. Hell, I even like dye sometimes, but what he said was cowardly. Or in the least, why did he even say it? Just plain stupid?

You think he would called keihl a coward to his face?

Dye isn't an anonymous message board poster. His comments will, and did, get back to the people he was talking about. One of which is still playing for the team Talk about just lacking any common sense

Exactly, it's not "anonymous field" at jordan hare stadium.

He may be many thing but Coward is not one of them

You let me know when he personally calls Clint and Kiehl to apologize.

Until then, the man is a coward and a fool.

@kiehlfrazier25: Pretty sure Pat Dye was talking about Clint and I, not Jonathan. Jonathan did the best he could in a bad situation.

Frazier is right.

And Dye saying that doesn't bother me one bit. Dye has always been a tough mean bastard that says exactly what he thinks. He earned that right a long time ago. When he arrived at AU, in the first team meeting, he kicked Lionel James (who was sitting on the floor) told him to stand up and told James to his face he was what was wrong with the Auburn program, he was too small to win with. He told UGA they were not man enough to beat bama as well.

He is right some and wrong some. He doesn't give a damn about being politically correct or mincing words.

I will admit I shook my head a bit when I saw the quote by Dye, but I grew up in the Dye era and he ain't changing and will always say exactly what he thinks and that is fine by me.

As I said in an above post. A coward wou;d have backpedaled on radio that is streamed all over the internet. The correct term is classless.

what he said was cowardly.

I don't agree. He has always said stuff like that and would call his own players soft or cowards to piss them off when he wanted to. It is just now a days, people wah wah when they here it. My HS BB coach dog cussed me in the locker room at half time one game and called me a coward and said I was scared of the other team. He screamed at me from the court to the locker room where the entire gym could hear it calling me names after I missed the shot to win a game one night against a rival as well. He is my favorite coach ever by a lot.

Agree he should not have said it in this day and age, but he is an old man and isn't changing and it doesn't bother me.

In a heartbeat if he wanted to. Keihl could kick his arse without trying, but Dye has taken many arse whuppings in his life and another probably would not make him think twice.

He may be many thing but Coward is not one of them. Whatever he said last night, he said again this morning on JOX but it looks like JOX will not put it on podcast.

Did you hear his segment this morning? I was listening when he was supposed to be on, but they said they had to reschedule, so I didn't get to hear it. Just wondering if you heard him, and if so, if the quote that was tweeted was verbatim, or somehow taken out of context or twisted to sound worse than what he actually said.

I heard it and Dye said "he was a big drunken coward for saying it and he doesn't give a shite what elitor or miami83 thinks about me being a coward".

I was really surprised to learn Dye reads the Auburn Sports Board...

This reminds me of the Jetgate situation. AU fans as a whole were pissed as frick at Tuberville, and at least half wanted him gone. However, the way the administration handled it backfired, and all the ire was redirected at them and Tubs became the sympathetic figure on how he was treated.

Everyone was pissed about last year, and don't want to see Kiehl anywhere near the field. However, now Kiehl is becoming the sympathetic figure and Dye is gonna become the pariah.
