No NC's and got his team put on probation somehow = legend in Auburn

This kind of stuff never happens at Alabama.
If it does Alabama doesn't seem to get caught as often.

Really? I seem to remember Alabama getting caught a LOT between Gene and Saban. Or did I imagine all the vacated games and years of probation in the 90s-00s?

But when they get caught, it is quality.

Moot point going forward anyway. Wild West incoming for the foreseeable future.

Most can admit that the way we choose titles in CFB is pretty bias. Auburn clearly should have won the title in 1983. There isn't much intellectual debate.
The BCS, the CFB playoffs and the future expansion all yield a similar result. What happens on the field matters less than what people believe they see with their eyes.

I vaguely remember Doug Barfield. Did he succeed Shug Jordan?
What were the issues with him?

Meh. Maybe if you're 30 or under. Maybe the most memorable Auburn championship. Get a dozen non-Auburn fans older than you together and they can easily come up with several that were more memorable. Nebraska 1971, Vince Young and Texas, 2019 LSU, etc, etc, etc, etc.
I could probably name 10 that don't even include Alabama.

He managed to win only 6 games with a backfield that had James Brooks, Joe Cribbs, and William Andrews.

Nothing controversial with Barfield. He was Shug's OC the last few years and was selected as his replacement. They had a decent Offense for the most part but sucked on Defense. I believe Underwood was his DC. Auburn made a mistake by not hiring Paul Davis to replace Shug, but nobody really questioned that decision to the point you see today.

Irrelevant to the context and history of the post. CAM was 11 years ago when paying players was against the rules. And Auburn broke them.

I don't know it started with Doug Barfield and we've won 3 since then, gone undefeated another time, and been :13 seconds away from a fourth.
Not Alabama but better than most.

You want to honor one of your greatest coaches by naming the field after him. Who do you choose?
Coach A, who went undefeated in his first year and likely had the best team in the country, although on probation because of the sins of the past regime.
Coach B, who goes undefeated, wins the BCS National Championship and produces a Heisman Trophy winner.
Coach C, who won six straight against his arch-rival, and who goes undefeated, possibly having the best team in the county but excluded from the BCS championship because of the polls.
Coach D, who has no pants, never went undefeated, never won a national championship, and who put his team on probation, robbing Coach A's team of the opportunity to play for a national championship.

According to the NCAA Auburn has more violations than Alabama. Ergo Alabama doesn't get caught as often. Alabama may have been caught several times, but not as often as Auburn. Pretty simple reasoning.

Never bumped one of my own threads before, but today seemed an opportune time.
