Tmad4AU 0 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Somebody explain to me just exactly how Pat Dye is supposed to be the power player on the Plain without quoting Paul Finebaum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoALtiger 3,675 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's a myth, plain and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle10 77 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't buy that for a second. I am sure he hangs out around the AD, and throws his $.02 in, but he has absolutely no power from what I have heard. He is the voice of Auburn, for the pondscum show, from what I have heard. I have also heard he needs to stop doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmad4AU 0 Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 I just find it humorous yet perplexing how his name keeps rising to the top. What evidence is there that he's ever interfeared? Heck, he's doing OK, but does he even have the finacial prowess to push a school around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Dye has zero influence in the decision making process for AUBURN UNIVERSITY. He may make suggestions but that is as far as it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may make suggestions but that is as far as it goes. Then we are in agreement because I didnt know how to word my responce and most likely failed. I don't think Pat Dye is anything more than a man who used to coach at Auburn and simply never left. No problem with him hanging around but like any "grandpa like" figure, age tends to make one not care about what they say thus making others say, "Oh Lord, here we go again".

ellitor 32,149 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Somebody explain to me just exactly how Pat Dye is supposed to be the power player on the Plain without quoting Paul Finebaum. He's not anymore although he still has too much say somtimes. Bobby Lowder's cronies still have more say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUIH1 1,515 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Pat Dye loves him some Jay Jacobs and was very instrumental in Jay Jacobs becoming our AD. Does Pat Dye run our athletic department? No, but he is Jay Jacobs' mentor, confidant and biggest fan. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AU64 10,122 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Being mentor and fan ...perhaps, since JJ played for him.....but I don't buy for a minute that he has any influence within the Athletic Dept....he still has his friends among the alum ..which might be more significant.

AUpocalypse 10 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 It all just sounds good to outsiders on/from the radio and message boards. It's all just regurgitation by the clueless and misinformed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcuron 35 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 This all started with Tubby and I wish it would have ended with him... (By the way, I love CTT!) But CPD has nothing to do with this situation. coach Dye supports JJ and he supports AU and I support them both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwmboom7 0 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I believe CPD has a lot more say so than all of you are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcuron 35 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I believe CPD has a lot more say so than all of you are saying. As much as I would love to have someone else to blame he is just an old man that loves Auburn... Its all hes got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FHeal 4 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Nawh ... Pat probably doesn't care a thing about coaching Swimming or Gymnastics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoKnowsAUFamily 0 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I don't think he runs it but I do think he needs to stop acting like he does on the radio. I me way would he say Chizik is safe even if we go 1-11? That is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aubaseball 2,418 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 unless someone on this board is close friends with JJ or PD, then no of us really know how much or if any influence he may have. But that is problem, he needs to go away or shut his mouth. then we would all know that he has no say in the matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1983 2,133 Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 How about we call or write JJ and ask him who is running the program? Athletic Director <athldir@auburn.edu> Jay Jacobs '85 '88 Athletics Director Auburn University athldir@auburn.edu 334-844-9891 Also try: Jay.JacobsAD@yahoo.com may be a secondary email.
