Dye and Bryant could probably drink anyone under the table.
Why some Alabama fans have so much animosity towards him is really kind of a mystery to me.
I think he got his good and bad traits from his mentor, after all.

I dont think its animosity, its just that if he would of accomplished at Alabama what he did at Auburn he would just be another coach.

He might be convicted, but he learned everything he knew from Bear.

Well, to be fair, Dye turned "little brother" into an even rivalry. He did what Saban did for the rivalry.

Like Fran, Mike Price, Mike Shula or Bill Curry?
Heck let's throw Dubose in there as well.

I went on a hunt there awhile back and had lunch with Coach. Great time and the birds flew well.

If he'd been at Alabama with the bias that supports the program he wouldn't have been on the outside looking in at National titles.

There's definitely something to that, which is why it bugs me when UA fans speak in absolutes of NC when so much subjectivity existed in deciding them. They were most definitely the beneficiary of biased pollsters more than once.

Did he enjoy drinking even when he was coaching?
No. He just woke up one morning a few years after he retired, took a look in the mirror, and said to himself, "Retirement's a little boring. I think I'm gonna become an alcoholic."

I barely remember the end of the 60's but I do remember the 70's and believe me Alabama was never the beneficiary of pollsters.
In the 70's this is how the landscape looked.
Most Favored by conference
1. Notre Dame( Independent)
2. BIG 8 ( Nebraska/Oklahoma)
3. BIG 10 ( Ohio St./ Michigan)
4. SWC ( TEXAS)
5. PAC 8 ( Usc/UCLA)
6. SEC ( Alabama)
Alabama got railroaded in 66 and 75 or 77 I cant't remember which.
SEC was looked upon as being inferior to the other leagues. I believe because black athletes from the south who weren't accepted on SEC campuses until the mid 70's while most left the south to play elsewhere.

Pat Dye killed bryant with his superior coaching.

I am approaching 70 years of age and believe me, it was so different back then. Dye and Bryant? Bobby Dowd and were what I call rivals. Dodd was not the drinking devil at Ga Tech.
I always liked Dodd....had to actually recruit students on North Ave....one of his asst student coaches became the HC at Florida..

LOL....he got a win against old and dying Bryant during Bear's last year.....so give it a rest homer.
Dye was an outstanding football coach of the old school Bryant mold. He never won a title, but had he coached Auburn during the playoff-BCS era it might have turned out differently. Auburn was the best team in the SEC during the 80's. Dye is a hero to the Toomerites though because Bryant beat them like a drum for a quater century and after he retired, Dye leveled the playing field between the two programs. I believe he was basccially .500 against Bama and got that off his record against Bill Curry....which is good enough at AU.
