Never got to see his teams live but I have probably watched 1000+ hours of video in my life on his teams. RIP Coach. Thank you for everything you did for this program.

What a terrible time for Auburn fans. So many deaths.
Coach Dye is the most influential coach in Auburn history. He may not have been the best but he changed the culture, changed the image, and changed the hearts of AU fans that suffered through the late 60's and all of the 70's. Rest in Peace Coach. War Eagle. Tell Jim and Rod we say hello and War Eagle.

Any guess/word on if Auburn will have any kind of public memorial or anything?

Not likely, I wouldn't think. At least not for a little while.

Abbeville’s Jimmy Rane spent some time with his dear friend, Pat Dye, several weeks ago at the legendary Auburn football coach’s home and hunting preserve called Crooked Oaks in Notasulga.
It would be the last time he would see Dye, who passed away Monday at the age of 80 after a long battle with kidney issues.
“Three or four weeks ago when I was up there and we were riding around on the golf cart – that’s what he would like to do – he was driving and I was in the passenger side riding,” Rane recalls. “He rode down across the dam at his pond. There’s a clone of a part of Toomer’s Corner oak tree. It’s a pretty good size oak tree now; he’s had it a while.
“We pulled up beside that tree and he leaned out and said, ‘That’s where I want to be buried, Jimmy. That’s where I’m going to be buried.
“He said, ‘I’m going to be buried right here and my body is going to fertilize this tree. I’m going to live in this tree forever.’ Well, I didn’t think much about it at the time, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen.
“That hearse is going to bring that body through the gates of Crooked Oaks. It’s going to be met by an orange and blue wagon pulled by two Halflinger horses. His body is going to be laid on that wagon and carried down to that tree and put next to that tree, and Pat is going to fertilize that tree and live in that tree forever.

I heard the saying a lot growing up. It’s stuck in my memory from my childhood but I remember coming across it in Dye’s speech too
