R.I.P Pat Dye

Pat Dye passed away yesterday. He was a successful college football head coach compiling an impressive record of 153 win, 62 losses and 5 ties. His playing career with the Georgia Bulldogs and in the CFL helped prepare him for coaching. He ironically started his coaching career at the University of Alabama and ended his career at Auburn.

His first Head Coaching stop was with the East Carolina Pirates. His six year tenure was enough to get his inducted into the East Carolina Athletics Hall of Fame. Highlights included a Conference Championship and all of his teams enjoyed winning seasons. He switched to Wyoming where he lead the Cowboys to a 6-5 record.

 Next stop was in Auburn where he coached for 12 seasons winning 99 games. He won the SEC four times. He coached Bo Jackson. After his coaching career he was a radio show host and author.

The college football world has lost a very successful coach who will be missed by family, friends and fans!
