Kim Mulkey Announced As The New LSU Head Coach And Immediately Flung Off Her Mask To Rile Up The Crowd

Former Baylor women’s head coach Kim Mulkey ditched the Bears after a highly successful run for the vacant LSU job. The controversial Mulkey had her introductory presser today. It wasn’t what she said that left an impression, but rather something she did.

Once she got to the podium, Kim Mulkey declared “I’m gonna take this damn mask off,” before flinging it far off to her side.

When you’re employed by an institution of higher learning this is unacceptable.

Crazy that this gets an applause by who I assume, are journalists and her coworkers. https://t.co/LjTSBnyeyR

Kim Mulkey has made it very clear that she wasn’t very keen on the whole ‘mask’ thing during the pandemic. After Baylor’s loss in March Madness, Mulkey was struggling mightily in her postgame presser.

Geaux Tigers??

I don’t know, this is a pretty bad look for Kim Mulkey. Maybe she was trying to appeal to her new crowd?
