Should Florida Head Football Coach Dan Mullen still have a job?
- On Saturday, after his team lost at Texas A&M - in a stadium with 1/3 capacity IIRC - he said he wants Florida to have a full stadium of 90,000 fans for their game against LSU. His reason was that the crowd made a difference at College Station and he wants a similar home field advantage.
- At his Monday presser, Mullen praised the job his program had done keeping Covid from impacting the team, citing its effective mitigation measures.
- Today, a day later, Florida has announced 19 positive tests among players and staff before suspending all team activities.
Mullen wants to pack 90,000 into a stadium to yell and scream, in a raging pandemic that spreads in such environments. He's unable to protect his own players and staff, and is setting a spectacularly terrible example to the young men he is charged with leading and protecting, while clearly suggesting playing football games is more important than protecting the health of Florida residents, and we can assume his players and staff.
