That's because bammers don't have enough sense to know that Bryant was an alcoholic, cheating racist, and they wouldn't care if they did. Just because Dye was a successful coach at AU does not mean he has carte blanche to denigrate Auburn. He should stay off of finescum's show and just stop talking. Auburn has traditions....traditions that don't include full scale cheating and exaggeration and classless arrogance. 

 

Amen! Dye was exactly what Auburn needed at the time in 1980. He changed the culture here, but also benefitted from the fact that Bryant was coming to the end of his reign. 

Saban's success at Alabama has a lot to do with perception, as top recruits fall all over themselves when he comes calling. The last thing we need is for one of our old coaches to go on the most popular sports talk program in the south, and help perpetuate that perception. Geez coach Dye, just go home, and SHUT UP!

It's like everything else. The further you're willing to go, the more you're willing to do that others won't or can't, the better you will be. 

Auburn truly can't match Alabama's "tradition". No team in America can anymore. But this says more about the values and makeup of the state of Alabama, the SEC and the NCAA as a whole than anything else. Auburn charges and invests as much money as anyone. There are probably numerous teams that put a lot more money into their football programs...but none can match what Alabama has built. This state has always been a machine engineered to build winning football teams if someone strong enough was holding the reins. But really, only two have come along to succeed at that for any length of time, and they don't coach forever.

That's because bammer has cheated for over 50 years to get that so called "tradition". They built it by creating a machine that operates with no repercussions. The nickster is a beneficiary of a lot of perks that other coaches aren't allowed. When bammer had to give up it's extras for a few years they were a very lackluster team. They had no idea how to operate within the rules. Saban has no ethics so he has been a good match for the REC.
