Speaking of looming you must have conveniently forgotten about Pat Dye. He remained closely connected to the program for decades after his career abruptly ended. That's short for fired.

Dye was a fixture on the sidelines at practices and games for years throughout the Terry Bowden, Tommy Tuberville, and even Gene Chizik eras and he had plenty to say well into the Gus Malzahn era. Pat Dye was still hosting a weekly radio show and wrote columns for years. What ex-coach does all that crap anywhere?

Head coaches at the barn were coming and going under the influence of Pat Dye. He was always a bold dude with plenty to say.
