Legendary Auburn coach Pat Dye dies at 80 after lengthy battle with kidney issues | CBS Sports HQ

Former Auburn coach Pat Dye has died at the age of 80. Dye had been hospitalized for lingering kidney issues for several weeks and was diagnosed with COVID-19 with asymptomatic symptoms last month. He had been hospitalized in Atlanta, but was recently transported back to the Auburn area to be closer to his friends and family.

Dye was Auburn’s head coach from 1981-92, and served as the school’s athletic director from 1981-91. His 12 years on the sidelines transformed Auburn into a football power after nearly a decade of futility. He posted a 99-39-4 record and won four SEC titles (1983, 1987-89), including three straight from 1987-89. He led Auburn to three Sugar Bowls and finished in the top 10 five times, including four straight seasons (1986-89).
