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.

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.
