Welcome to Auburn: It's Dye country again

Welcome to Auburn; it's Dye country again I believe, but not in a pregame message-board kind of way. I believe, in Auburn, the transition from Tommy Tuberville to Gene Chizik has been more than a coaching change. I believe, if Auburn were a country rather than a family, you'd call it a regime change. Tuberville's been toppled. Long live Pat Dye. It's been reported elsewhere that Dye, who attended Chizik's introduction Monday, said he felt more welcome in the football building that day than he had in 12 years. He'll be welcomed back. I have it on good authority that Chizik wants the former coach and athletics director, the man whose name is on the field inside Jordan-Hare Stadium, back inside the program. The authority? Pat Dye himself.
