Am I taking crazy pills or did Pay Dye not win four SEC championships at Auburn?
They don't give out NC trophies for that. If Pat Dye was really the heir apparent to coach Paul "Bear" Bryant" and the mighty Tide in the 80s where are the NC trophies? Truth is, he did less with more.
And I sat in Legion Field in 1992 on Thanksgiving Day, I watched BAMA dismantle Pat Dye's last barner team 17-0. They were headed to major NCAA penalties and he was being replaced................................ and BAMA?
Well BAMA was headed to New Orleans and the Sugar Bowl to play Miami for the natty. Remember how that went?
The only NC rings Pat Dye and his staff ever wore had a Crimson A on them.

The fact that Auburn wasn't awarded the 1983 national championship is the reason using national championships pre-1998 as a barometer for success is a bit silly. It was part-merit, part-popularity contest.
