    Coach was a wonderful, kind, loving man and what Bo says about him being a father figure is accurate. At my father’s funeral, Coach was there in the room with the family and I walked in there and saw him and ran to him and hugged him and he hugged me back, said some sweet words that I won’t put here bc that’s personal to me. Coach Dye was a wonderful man

    Bo had a stammer in college and didn't do interviews as a result. Glad he has come so far, this was spoken 😊 totally from the heart

    WOW! there is not a kid in this world that would turn down that money today. It just shows you that life, character, and integrity took priority back then. Great men led that right way. RIP Coach Dye.

    Bo was my idol growing up, and I still idolized this man to this very day. He could have been the G.O.A.T. in the NFL if it wasn't for the hip injury he sustained. God bless Vincent "Bo" Jackson

    You can tell that Bo Jackson has good character but let's keep it real most people would have taking that 5 million dollar check to help themselves and their families. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.

    Bo….I remember when you couldn’t put 3 sentences together without the speech impediment kicking in. Very proud of you man! Ten fold for who you’ve become and continue to be beyond the playing fields. You’re the best representative I know for Auburn University and more importantly your family. War Eagle!
