He was lucky to have coached against Curry
And we had Barfield going up against Bear. Argument works both ways for everyone not wearing Crimson.

...and Shug Jordan, who got his arse consistently handed to him by Bryant.
Dye was a good coach but he was fortunate to coach against Bama when he did....had he faced Bryant consistently he would have got his shite pushed in like everyone else....even with a couple of shitty Bama coaches he only has a .500 record....but I guess that is a hell of an improvement from where the program came from.

You also had legenary Shug.
Of course Dye was better than Shula, Fran, and Debose, some of the worst coaches in Bama history. That wasnt the point. If Dye would have went .500 against Auburn as Bamas coach and never won anything more than one or two nonshared SEC titles with one or two shared ones, he would be nothing more than another coach to Alabama. We wouldnt have named our field after him thats for sure.
