The playing surface in a college football stadium doesn't get named after you by accident. Either you donated a lot of money to pay for it, or you won a ton of football games on it. Pat Dye did the latter.
Though Dye's career ended with NCAA dropping the hammer on the Tigers, his career is unmistakably one of the greatest in Auburn football history.
The only reason he doesn't warrant a higher spot on this particular list is his lack of a national title, but with four 10-win seasons, three SEC titles and a Heisman winner, Dye is one of the best to ever coach on the plains.
