Ummm David Marsh would like a word with you.

Only bringing this up because I had friends on the team while I was in grad school…
David Marsh Swim Coach
After becoming head coach of Auburn in 1990, Marsh led the men's team to seven NCAA national championships (1997, 1999, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007) and the women's team to five national championships (2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2007).

I beat you to it with Marsh but I agree the most successful coach in Auburn history. You had foreign Olympic swimmers and divers coming to AU to be coached by Coach Marsh.

Yeah I had the opportunity to hang out with Kirsty Coventry (Zimbabwe) which was one of the coolest experiences. She won so many Olympic medals and now a Cabinet Minister for Sports in Zimbabwe.

David Marsh would probably be the technical best of all time but among the non-olympic sports that people actually care about Bruce is alone on that mountaintop. Then it can be Dye and then Ellis and then that softball coach that made us all love softball for the first time. What a hit job that was.

It’s hard to top Dye in conventional sports. Folks that didn’t live through the 70s don’t understand.
Prior to Dye we didn’t play home games against Bama and most of the time Tennessee. And the program was dead under Barfield. Dye took AU to complete dominance in the 80’s and his ground work lasted almost entirely through the Bowden years. The impact on football is similar to what Bruce has done in basketball however we had some history in football.
This is just my opinion but Dye will continue to be the most impactful coach in Auburn history. It’s difficult to describe “best”.

I lived through Auburn basketball before Pearl.
We had a NC before Dye.

This team never had a chance at uconn anyway. Cbm has to go he can kick rocks. At least we won the sec tourney.

This is actually pretty accurate. We definitely weren’t going to beat UConn and winning the SEC Tourney was this team’s ceiling. Unrealistic to think they were going deep in this tournament.

I’m fond of Coach Dye, but we weren’t dominant in the 80’s. We won 4 SEC Championships, but two of them were ties. He blew a lot of games he shouldn’t have. That is not dominance.

Damn, a single thread where folks going after Pearl and Dye. Armageddon has arrived.
But you are correct. It was a big turn around but I wouldn't call it dominance.

Just a simple retort. Not going after Coach Dye.

This is correct. Then he sat in the locker room tweeting about it while his team struggled.

That's almost the worst part about it

Some wont see it that way but it is true never the less.
Cared more about what people were saying about his major frick up than he did his teammates that counted on him. Unfortunately, it is common today and accepted by some.
Just an absolute clusterfrick all the way around.
