Auburn legend Pat Dye -- one of the greatest college football coaches ever -- is hospitalized in Georgia after testing positive for coronavirus.
80-year-old Dye is a College Football Hall of Famer who's credited with making Auburn a powerhouse in the '80s ... winning 4 SEC titles and racking up a 99-39-4 record from '81 to '92.
Dye famously coached Bo Jackson during his Heisman Trophy season in 1985.
But now, he's battling serious health issues -- including kidney problems -- according to an email sent to members of his sister's church.
