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.

Bryant fired Pat Dye when he was an assistant coach for Bama for paying players. It had to be hushed up cause Bama would have caught hell with the NCAA over it. That comes from as closer an insider as you can get. TIFWIW.

I like how people think Auburn was getting fair treatment from the State during the Bryant years.

Put Dye up against Bryant, BUT give Auburn equal resources as well.
