One of the most historic coaches in Auburn football history passed away Monday.
Legendary coach Patt Dye passed away Monday morning after dealing with kidney-related issues. Just a week before, it was announced that Dye had also contracted COVID-19.
His son, Pat Dye Jr., spoke to ESPN, saying:
“…his positive test occurred a number of days ago during a routine precautionary test pursuant to his hospitalization for kidney-related issues.”
The former Auburn football legend constructed quite the career while coaching in the college ranks.
