Dye was a great coach, Bryant was a legendary coach. Can you imagine if TMZ had been around while those two were coaching?

I still love listening to Coach Dye on the radio, I laugh out loud every time I think about the comments he made about Charlie Weis. . .

arse wide as an ax handle?

I thought it was comical in '12 about mid-season, when he said Gene Chizik could go winless in the SEC and his job wouldn't be in jeopardy at AU.

Dye lets the sports radio hosts bait him into saying some irrational crap from time to time.

Pat Dye did noy beat Stallings in the Iron Bowl. He did however cry like a bitch in Gene Stallings arms before the 1992 Iron Bowl before Stallingd sent him to the coaching grave yard in disgrace.

He also said he wouldnt take 10 Nick Sabans for 1 Eugene Chizik. He was just a sad, washed up drunk. I wished he still went on the radio.

Bryant:1-1
Perkins: 2-2
Curry: 3-0
Stallings: 0-3

Dye never beat Stallings. He was lucky to have coached against Curry or he would have had a losing record against Bama instead of .500

Exactly. Dye was nothing more than a good coach and according to the NCAA he cheated to be that.

GD cracker, wtf is your problem? He screwed your grandmother, mother and sister in the same week?

In my original post, I never claimed he was a great coach, but that I think that I would have enjoyed playing for him and he seemed like a good ole boy who made the game fun

Cash for play would be a fricking blast.

I dont think Auburn has the rate of STDs that Baton Rouge does so you would probably be alive still.

Dye was a hard-nosed coach old school type. He was a champion at rallying the AU fanbase ~ they quickly forgave him of the NCAA indiscretions and name their field to honor him.

Listen to him on the radio during the season and he is a trip. Some of the local radio hosts have baited the shite out of him the last few years and poor old fella doesn't even recognize what he says when they get him worked up.

Nah, mine was as a NLU player. By the time I got to LSU, I was treating.

Not enough bowing by others to Alabama's 'greatness.'

Still waiting to hear how Dye was no better than Price, Fran, Curry, Dubose, Perkins, or Shula.

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.
