re: Who was Auburn's greatest coach? Shug or Drunken Pat Dye?

An asschugger talking about anyone else's drinking problems is the height of hypocrisy.
When you belong to a fan base who has historically/traditionally ingested sixers of Natty Light anally, with a Lesbo coach, and an AD bordering on bankruptcy forcing them to keep said Lesbo as HC because you can't afford to fire her, you need to know you are irrelevant and should stay out of football discussions amongst the relevant programs.

Now grab your funnel, slam it up your stankin hillbilly butthole and get one of your kin to drowned your a-hole in Natty Light.

Wasn't he the first SEC coach to be "Sabaned"?



I did always like that guy, though. Auburn didn't play like a Big 12 school when he was at the helm.

What the frick is a filed? We named our field after him because he made a man decide he would rather be fricking worm food than a football coach. Bama fans like to say Saban made Tuberville quit and that may be true but Dye made that fricker die!

Too much Kentucky bourbon, decades of unfiltered Chesterfields and a diet that would do damage to a Poland-China hog killed Coach Bryant.

I would honestly say Tubby, as he accomplished Aubarn's primary goal of embarrassing the University of Alabama. Obviously, it was against subpar talent/coaching, but that was a dark period for any Tide fan.

A lot of butt hurt from Alabama fans in a thread started by Bammerss about AU coaches.

Never understood why Bama fans would rather talk about AU than Bama. Especially with how well Bama is doing this season.

No I don't know. Enlighten me.

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around to hear it does it still make a sound?

Talking about one coach cheating because he got caught and assuming another was clean because he didn't get caught is ignorant.

I would say Dye.

Nobody can dispute what Bear did at bama and Dye gave Auburn hope during a time that things seemed a bit hopeless.

Dye's teams would have won a title or two if he had been around in the BCS or CFP era, alas, he was coaching in a time where it was a beauty pageant that only 5 or 6 teams had a legitimate shot at winning each year. Ole boys network and all.

Is it odd that Dye is referred to in a derogatory sense by bams as Drunken Pat Dye when it was pretty well known Bear was also a drunk?

The difference is the Bryant didn't allow alcohol to interfere with him being able to do his job. Dye retired from coaching at 53. What coach retires at 53? That is when coaches hit their prime. Dye was never a very good football coach and when he beat Bryant he was old and tired.

Dye retired because of a heart issue it prevented him from continuing. I know many like to believe he resigned because of the NCAA stuff, but Auburn was punished in a severe manner that trading the coach for it wouldn't have made a lick of sense. Think about the bama coach that paid Ha Ha a couple years ago. That amount of money got Auburn probation, bowl ban and a TV black out. It wasn't even direct cash either...it was a plane ticket. Dye began having health issues in 1990...google search is your friend.

He never coached again because he couldn't.
