autigeremt 6,569 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Another Auburn great who also happens to be a Steeler/Panther enters the Hall. Kevin was a great pass rusher and overall leader with my Steelers. He and Greg Lloyd, along with Levon Kirkland, played an important role in helping the Steelers make it to the Super Bowl in 95. Kevin also laid the foundation (along with Sam Mills) for Carolina and their defense. Great day to be a Tiger. Cam is MVP and KG is headed to the hall. Auburn becomes the first school to have the MVP of both professional baseball and football in the same season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoAU 1,599 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I'm also a huge Steelers fan, and Kevin was one of the guys I really pulled for. War Damn Eagle! Well deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUbritt 611 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 War Eagle! Much deserved #itsabouttime! ETA: Great quote from Kevin here: “What prepared me for the NFL was the work ethic and hard-nosed, ass-kicking football I learned under Pat Dye,” Greene said. “What we went through in the spring was so violent and intense and physical. It was evident a couple of days into my first NFL training camp that I was rocking people’s worlds because Pat Dye had us moving at another level and hitting at another level.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpchurch 2 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Now it's time for him to come home and be a bigger part of the program! I'd love to see him involved in any form or fashion with our football team. His energy on and off the field to excel is unmatched and saw him coach up Willie Whitehead in the 90's. I believe Willie would say his relationship with Kevin allowed him to reach another gear in preparation to play for sure! God Bless Auburn!

It's easy for some folks to make Coach Dye a punching bag and the butt of jokes and ridicule. Some forget just how awesome and important CPD was in his prime.

I know KG was being discussed for an off the field role. His attitude that he brings up here...the ass-kicking in practices, sure would be a welcome sight in our D. Anyone know if he will be one of the off field staff expected to be named soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronMan70 3,277 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Congrats Kevin for making the NFL Hall of Fame. You deserved it and have for a long time. (PS, maybe we could add, "named to the HOF", to the title ?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach Dye was not only a football coach but also a teacher of the game. Wish we had a clone of him now at Auburn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
