Even Dan Mullen's Press Conference After the Mizzou Loss Was a Disaster

Nobody on the postgame press conference could hear anything.

In the COVID-19 world, Zoom has become a household appliance at this point. This is especially true in the sports world since most media sessions are done virtually these days. But even after almost two years in the pandemic, some people don't know how to mute their mics.

After Florida's 24–23 overtime loss to the Missouri, coach Dan Mullen's postgame zoom press conference was delayed because a local radio station didn't know how to mute—adding insult to injury to a coach and program in hot water.

Just a snippet of what is supposed to be Dan Mullen’s presser. Some doofus at a TV station won’t mute themselves and UF apparently doesn’t know how you can set up a Zoom to start with everyone on mute. pic.twitter.com/72IzSapgMK

For whatever reason, this went on and Mullen had to step away from the press conference because nobody could hear anything.

We've been doing Zoom for nearly two years... Dan Mullen steps away from the podium for a minute because someone on the call is incapable of muting their mic.

Albeit it a funny scene, it was appropriate for the nightmarish campaign Mullen and company are having. The Gators fell to 5–6 and will look to earn bowl eligibility next week against the Seminoles in the regular season finale.
