In my original post, I never claimed he was a great coach, but that I think that I would have enjoyed playing for him and he seemed like a good ole boy who made the game fun

Dye was a hard-nosed coach old school type. He was a champion at rallying the AU fanbase ~ they quickly forgave him of the NCAA indiscretions and name their field to honor him.

Listen to him on the radio during the season and he is a trip. Some of the local radio hosts have baited the shite out of him the last few years and poor old fella doesn't even recognize what he says when they get him worked up.
