I say yes. It’s close between he and Muschamp, but I will give Steele the vote just because of how he held Burrow and that insane LSU offense to under 20 points.

Wayne Hall and it’s not even close in the modern era.

Go watch some games from 1988 if you want to see a shut tha frick down defense

Wayne Hall, go look at the stats.

Does he still get paid by AU? I know he did for years

I wish Bowden could have hung on to him, and Garner when Garner was the goat recruiter at the time

I was in Thailand in 1988 before Satellite tv and before I was able to watch any American channels. I never really got into Auburn football until I started college in 97 so I will have to take your word for it.

Trust me it’s not close.

Think UGA defense against the run this yearand then 2 edge rushers that could get after the passer. Linebackers with size and speed crashing anything near them and safeties that would literally try to take your head off. Add on top very good corners.

1988 defense allowed 3.60 yards per play.

7.2 points per game.

And that type defense lasted from 83-93

I think Wayne was the DC from 82 thru 94.

Garner is still one of the goat recruiters all these years later.

Didn’t Garner start off coaching TEs before moving to DL though?

Bowden fired Hall in 95, I was a student…..and basically lied about inappropriate things he was doing. Truth be told Bowden just wanted to hire Oliver away from Bama

And yes to Garner, he was coaching TEs at AU under Bowden and when he fired Hall, Garner and Kurt Crain quit.

Coach Dye was good for laying an egg or 2 but we won 4 SEC championships and competed every yr.

43. All you have to do is to read a few posts above yours to figure out why I don’t know who Hall is.
