He certainly isn't a man of high character. He did, however, raise the bar of Auburn football, without which Auburn would be in the likes of GaTech or some other has been school.

Good point. He wants to keep what little influence and access he has. The idea that Dye tried to oversell that he has no influence on the program is not believable. Like some Auburn poster earlier posted, the guy you named the field after has at least a minimum amount of influence. How much or how little, how direct or indirect who knows.

To be fair, until 2004, they were still tied with Ga Tech for SEC championships.

Either way, the staff in 2013 likely won't have the current three best coaches still there (BVG, Bouleware, and Grimes). All of them can easily get employment elsewhere. Talk about a dumpster fire - those are the best coaches on the staff, it they choose to go elsewhere, then Chizik may as well follow right behind them.


Grimes is terrible. The line sucks.

Can someone in the AU Administration not just politely ask him to step the frick aside and take a backseat? He really just needs to sit back and sip bourbon on the back porch at his farm. It's dove season for crying out loud, doesn't he have better things to do right now? Plant your green fields Pat, put up the tree stands for deer season



Who and how? Are you suggesting we pay him hush money? He needs the money which is why he is on Fbaum and writes an article for ITAT

NtY

It's my contention that the hush money being paid is still allowing him around the program.

Name another program that would allow a coach that wasnt an alumnus to hang around after 20-20, NCAA probation and what it brought like Auburn has.

Do you think Nevin Shapiro will be back in Miami after he gets released or maybe Jim Tressel will come back to the tOSU to tailgate for homecoming - not likely.

i don't know about hush money.

i think the auburn football program is where alabama was post bryant and pre-saban...still being run by an interconnected network of good ol' auburn family boys with some cash, small smarts, a personal agenda and who love being a "big time booster" with some influence over what goes on in the athletic program.

Let me qualify this - he's not being paid $$ he's being paid by being allowed to associate with the program. He was never disassociated because they didn't want a drunken, angry Pat Dye. Too many bones may fall out of his mouth.
