Nick Saban won’t be able to coach remotely on Saturday night against Georgia.
Saban is set to miss the game because he tested positive for COVID-19 on Wednesday. Saban said he is currently asymptomatic and feeling fine and has coached practices remotely with the help of video and audio feeds from No. 2 Alabama’s practices.
But he won’t have that ability on Saturday against the No. 3 Bulldogs. NCAA rules prevent a coach from being able to communicate with his staff and players while watching the game from another location.
“If you’re the head coach, there ought to be a better way to do it,” Saban said during his radio show Thursday night (via Bama Insider).
