I say Pat Dye
4 SEC titles
Got Alabama game moved to campuses
Only coach to to win back to back 10 win seasons in 1988-1989. Only time it has been done in school history. Shocking.
Only Auburn Coach to win more than 1 SEC title.
Beat good Alabama teams. Tuberville beat some the worst Alabama teams in the last 60 years.

He wasn't a fullback and he played for Jawja.

I am no Auburn Football historian but I feel like no coach had more of an impact on that program - at least in the last 50 years - than Pat Dye. Auburn had its little moment in the sun in the late-50s, but by 1980 Alabama owned the state and the rivalry. Auburn just could not compete. It was Dye who made the Iron Bowl competitive once again and turned Auburn into a legitimate SEC power.

Not an auburn fan, but Gus Malzahn is the correct answer.

Does FB mean "head coach"?

Auburn is only capable of having sustained success when Alabama is wayyyy down. The best era of Auburn football coincided with Alabama being really bad and probation riddled from 2000-2007. 2010 was a flash in the pan stroke of luck, that won't be repeated for another 50-75 years. 2013 their luck ran out finally against FSU.

Tommy Tuberville. He won games that coaches like Gus could never dream of winning (especially on the road). He has the highest record against Top 10 teams, doing exceptionally well in the later part of his tenure. He had beaten 9 of the last 10 Top 10 matchups including back-to-back consecutive wins against Florida in 2006 & 2007. His only issue was inconsistency. Loses at home to USF then goes on the road and beats #1 UF. In all fairness I don't think there has been a coach at Auburn that has been consistent in anything besides mediocrity. So, I'd say Tubs was the best.

“Best American Hero” who was head coach at Auburn:
Ralph “Shug” Jordan.
Was at Normandy. Was at Sicily. Was at invasion of North Africa. And he was in combat at Okinawa.
Shug was the best man to ever coach at Auburn.

Why is Chizik never given any credit? Do Auburn fans think the 2010 NC was luck? Was it due to Malzahn’s schemes or Ted Roof’s defense (both of whom Chizik hired)? Or having an extraordinary athlete in Cam Newton?

Relative at best. Pat Dye had some of the most talented teams in their history and BAMA was going through their new identity crisis in the 80s. Dye struggled to win the big one and that's tough when you look for BEST. Shug Jordan had to contend with coach Bryant and that machine for 2 decades and still had the barn on the winning side of the ledger a lot of years.
Too close to call and mostly I just don't care.
