But if a coach ignored directives to practice social distancing in team meetings, did not ever wear or require masks except when cameras were around, etc., then I think these things could add pretty quickly to a fireable offense.
Just my opinion.
One that I agree with. (On the masks that would depend on the particular “rule” in the state or county. Please don’t misunderstand. Masks should be required, imo. But if they are not in the particular jurisdiction one lives/works in (or mandated by the employer - in this case the Universityand/or the SEC) you can’t punish for not wearing a mask as it’s not violating a rule) And if we find Mullen did that, then punitive action ( at the least a suspension) is merited. But we don’t know that he did.

Yes. The NFL put that wise rule in place. Has the SEC? I suspect so. I certainly hope so.
