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.

Well, it didn't hurt that he came along when Alabama couldn't get a good head coach.
He dropped off when Stallings got going
