For God did not give us a spirit of Fear, but power and love and of a sound mind. – 2 Timothy 1:7
As my cousin Pat Jr. eloquently said at the private burial Tuesday, trying to explain what Coach Dye means to us would be like trying to “empty the sand from the Sahara Desert with a spoon.” As the memories flood…there are too many to pen. This is a feeble attempt to honor and pay tribute to a man who touched me and so many others.
This verse above encapsulates Coach Dye, as does the Auburn Creed which references a spirit that is not afraid.
