Schools with ex-coaches involved in their program still?

I look at Dye and how he has stuck around the program. While he is an ambassador of sorts for AU and AU football and no doubt does some PR, I can't help but now wonder "Is this normal?" I mean, what other big time schools can we think of that have an ex-coach SO involved still in the program - so much so that they would be in attendance at the press conference of a new coach like yesterday? Not saying it's necessarily wrong (a lot of what you read about Dye and Lowder cannot be substantiated, so I am trying to think objectively), but just wondering.
Georgia/Dooley? yes, but he was AD.
Florida/Spurrier? No
Alabama/Stallings? Not really
LSU/anyone?
Other big time schools??

Stallings pretty much serves as a consultant for coaching hires but he's not directly involved as he's on the BOT at Texas A&M. He talked to Saban about the Bama job but I'm not sure how much he was involved.

Well, even though God needed a football coach, Paul Jr. is still very influential in Tuscaloosa. It's pathetic, really.

Paterno still tools around with the PennState football team occasionally.

I think Bruce and Cooper both have offices at Ohio St, where they can come in whenever they want. I know Woody did after he was fired.
