re: is Pat Dye the de facto head of auburn athletics?

This stuff cracks me up. As a bama fan here is my take. Pat Dye owns alot of land and entertains Auburn supporters, Boosters, and anybody else that can be benificial to Auburn athletics.Hunting, fishing, hanging out drinking bourbon. He is in the loop and earhole of alot of movers and shakers in and around Auburn athletics. His decision making power at Auburn is absolutly zero.
