60 years ago?

Damn, I'm old but Dye was named HC in my lifetime!

More like 40 years ago


Okay. Well, everybody keeps saying how long 40 years ago is....so 40 years ago.

Sure... he was only an All American for UGA, was the head coach of one of UGA's biggest rivals, and is in the CFB HOF.


I know who he is. You act like I have not heard of him. I just didn't know what position he played (why would I care?) or that he had coached at Wyoming. (Again, why would I care?)

No, WE Aren't all here for that. God forbid somebody can have an actual discussion here without the fricking trollfest that always comes.

Sure it is. We have real discussions all the time, and I've seen you participate.

I'm not talking about the hardcore, WillyT-level trolling, but the humor aspect of giving each other a hard time is a lot of what makes tRant great.

You can get real breakdowns on a team fansite, but it's nowhere near as fun.

Most of us are just blowing off steam and don't really take it seriously.

Because he was an All American at the school we are fans of.

I don't think he's terrible. Have to admit that I as a fan am thrilled because I thought Auburn could do better than that. I don't think he's the offensive mastermind that others do. Time will tell.

I've already given my thoughts on the guy's coaching abilities elsewhere. Thank God they didn't pick up Freeze, or Lane.

Before I became a fan? I bet I can name a few players that you don't know and they were not All_Americans. Does this somehow make me a better fan?

Do you remember Ben Zambiesi?
Brad Cescutti?

I mean knowing some names does not make you a better, or worse fan.

I went to the Peach Bowl back in 1975 and saw Georgia play. Does that make me a better fan? (Hint: No)

Frankly I don't care anything about Pat Dye, and I don't even care for Vince Dooley.

I made fun of Chizik and he got Cam Newton and won a national title, so I won't say too much yet.

I think he’s a solid hire that will do about the same as Gus.

Definitely not a “oh shite look who Auburn hired” type of hire like Kiffin or Freeze would have been.

I agree. But I also think he's less of a risk than either of those two.

OP asks for rivals to respond, and Arky & A&M immediately chime in. Bless their hearts.

Those two and Miss State fans seem to be the most bent out of shape with this hire for some reason
