Alabama head coach Nick Saban has tested positive for COVID-19 a second time, the school announced Wednesday.

“This morning we received notification that Coach Saban tested positive for COVID-19,” a released statement from Dr. Jimmy Robinson and Jeff Allen reads. “He has very mild symptoms, so this test will not be categorized as a potential false positive. He will follow all appropriate guidelines and isolate at home.”

The immediate reaction from fans and media centered on the positive test coming the week Alabama plays Auburn, after the first positive test came during the week leading up to the Georgia game.

Here’s a sample of some of the early reaction:
