University of Alabama’s Nick Saban announced Wednesday that he had tested positive for the new coronavirus. In a statement, the legendary football coach, 68, said, “I found out earlier this afternoon that I had tested positive for COVID-19. I immediately left work and isolated at home. At this time, I do not have any symptoms relative to COVID, and I have taken a PCR test to confirm my diagnosis.” The team’s offensive coordinator, Steve Sarkisian, will take over in Saban’s absence. The college has become a hotbed of coronavirus infections in recent weeks, and athletic director Greg Byrne tested positive the same day as Saban.
