Has an interim head coach ever won the Iron Bowl? I can't remember that happening in my lifetime.

My database for Iron Bowl coaches stopped back in the '90's.

Think about this for a second.

We have two nationally prominnet basketball programs over the last few years. But, it's labeled as "The Iron Bowl of Basketball." Why?

I've already reserved the back side of my tombstone for epitaphs. Now, I got to get one taller...ain't no such thing as an Iron Bowl anymore is the latest entry.

Wasn't he the Asst. Coach at the time? Because the win still went to Saban didn't it?

Auburn historically has fired their coach after the season so there was no interim coach.

Terry Bowden and Brian Harsin come to mind.

No. Saban was TEMPORARILY unavailable due to illness. The head coaching position was not vacant.
