In an interview on Monday evening with The Paul Finebaum Show, former Auburn football coach Pat Dye said that Auburn wouldn’t match Alabama’s tradition, even if they played for 500 years.
Here’s an excerpt from the conversation:
“I don’t look at our situation at Auburn comparing it to Alabama because you could never compare the two,” Dye said. “We could play football for another 500 years and we couldn’t catch up with the tradition that Alabama’s got. But that doesn’t mean that we can’t have a good football program, and a strong program, and it doesn’t mean we can’t have football teams that recruit good enough to beat Alabama on occasion.
