Auburn Football Coach Bryan Harsin Tests Positive for COVID-19

Auburn football coach Bryan Harsin tested positive for COVID-19, the school announced in a statement on Friday. Harsin is asymptomatic.

"Yesterday I tested positive for the COVID-19 virus," Harsin said in the statement. "I am isolating at home while experiencing no symptoms.

"I will continue to participate remotely in meetings and practice. Just like in a game, teams that handle adversity and make necessary adjustments are those that are the most successful. I have full confidence in our coaching staff and team."

Tigers assistant head coach and linebackers coach Jeff Schmedding will handle the in-person coaching duties ahead of the program's season opener.
