The Night Bobby Dye Quit Smoking | Boise News

In a dramatic turn, Bobby Dye—Boise State’s most successful coach at the time—resigned just three months before his 13th season, citing contract disputes. But the real story? A pivotal night after a crushing 36-point loss, when Dye, in the backseat of a car, confessed he might quit after one more year… then suddenly fell asleep. The next morning, he’d quit smoking cold turkey, tossing his pipe into a trash can. That small personal shift sparked a turnaround: the team avenged their loss, won 175 more games, captured three Big Sky titles, and made three NCAA tournaments. Sometimes, change starts with quitting something—even if it’s just a cigarette. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
