Coach Dye was as SEC as SEC can get. This speech is everything that is college football.

He was the true heir to Bryant as a football coach - he just ended up being it across the state

Agreed. He was a Legend.

As a 30 year old, I never got to see him at work or critique it, but considering where Auburn was before and after, it’s undeniable he was the one who put Auburn on the map. Much appreciation.
RIP

Ready easy, Coach Dye. I’ve heard that speech countless times. fricking amazing.

As a young Bama fan in the 70s and 80s I “hated” him and Auburn. But not really. It was youthful rivalry trash talking. I learned to love and respect him the more I matured, the more I knew about him and that Coach Bryant loved him. If Bear Bryant loved him like a son, that’s good enough for me. When I lived in Decatur AL, I used to listen to him talk football for 2 hours a week on Wes Neighbors’ radio show. He could recall specific play calls, game situations, players and scores from 45-50 years ago. Some of his best stories were from when he was at East Carolina. Fascinating. The man knew more about Bryant and Bama football history than most Bama fans. One of the few true legends of the SEC. RIP, coach.

TY SOG for your class and for your post. RIP Coach. I will truly miss hearing him talk Auburn and the love you could feel he had in his heart. War Damn Eagle, Coach.

First image when I think of Coach: that short sleeve white shirt, tie, Auburn script hat, maybe a little dip and walking the sidelines like he knew everyone’s job and knew what was expected of everyone.
One of the remaining true legends. Brought Auburn to new heights. Will be missed. The 89 Iron Bowl speech hits the feels.

Loved coach Dye, the SEC lost a giant.

He was even more real in private life. My FIL and he were real close and we hunted and fished his lake and farm, rode his horses with him and sat around a fire he would build @ night and he and my great FIL (WWII vet) would entertain with stories. The old south, the SEC and Alabama/Georgia lost a gift. RIP Coach and thanks for the memories.
