I believe Alabama and Auburn do push each other to be better. Sometimes this isn't always something to be proud of but it is a reality.
You could also say the six in a row and Auburn taking the lead in the modern day series against Alabama moved Alabama to a point to stop in fighting and give up control of the program back to the coach so that someone could be successful again.
I don't think anybody could argue that Alabama and Auburn aren't beneficial to each other.
Alabama loves to call Auburn little brother, but they do take a bunch of loses from their little brother more than any other major rivalry that has the Big Brother/Little Brother moniker.
Auburn likes to pretend it is better than Alabama but we all want trophies SEC, National, etc…because we also define ourselves by titles and not wins.
Alabama has advantages that Auburn will never have in that I am proud of what Auburn has accomplished. There are a few other schools that have the same advantages that Alabama has but have accomplished far less than Alabama in that I am also proud of Alabama.
The fans have all the animosity toward each other. Players of the game and coaches more times than not respect the other side much more than fans.

Auburn pushed Bama to hire their last two national championship coaches. Had Curry or Shula beat AU both might have kept their job.

Wildly overblown.

This is correct. One is just as true as the other.
