Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Very interesting and emotional. I remember well what Auburn was like when Coach Dye came. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steeleagle 2,945 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Its definitely a tearjerker in spots(even for the host). Wow. Good stuff. Thought I had heard everything about Pat Dye, but I was wrong. Hearing it from his son, makes it even more sincere and real. Thanks for finding this. p.s. didn't realize Jboy's dad was Dye Jr's first client. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuscAUse! 1,673 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Powerful interview. Too bad Coach didn't have all the diversity seminars we have today. He would have been able to reach some people from different walks of life. Sarcasm/off. I remember sitting in Jordan Hare while UT kicked AU like a stepchild at homecoming. My AU grad dad just stared and watched the game. When it was over he said 'War Eagle anyway'. In 1989 he told me how to comport myself as an Auburn man when I went to the first Iron bowl in Auburn. He had tears in his eyes. Yeah. I miss my dad. And Coach Dye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerfinz 1,367 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I was a snotty, puffy eyed, blubbering pile of goo while listening to that pulling into my garage after work yesterday. My wife thought something was really wrong. I had to compose myself to just tell her about what I was listening to. Most of us try to be tough when it comes to these things, but when 2 men can't carry on because of the sheer emotion of the moment, I can't help joining them in that emotion. Empathy is lacking in so many parts of society. Losing your father is never easy. Glad we got to experience some of Coach Dye from people who truly loved him.

JuscAUse! 1,673 Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 He was what my age group used to call a real man. Was what he was, believed what he believed, and carried on without apology, unless he had wronged an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedaler 1,025 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I grew up in the same Auburn neighborhood where the Dye’s lived. One day a group of us were playing football in our front yard and a truck pulled over to the curb and the engine turned off. After about 5 minutes the car cranked and the window rolled down. Pat Dye sticks his head out and says, “Y’all keep it up. We really could use you at Auburn.” Do you know how that felt to a group of 12-year-olds?! He did NOT have to go out of his way like that.
