Florida Gators head coach Dan Mullen isn’t making predictions for the 2020 college football season, but he gave his thoughts on how it could play out.
“If you look four months ago we were in a very different place in this country than where we are right now,” Mullen said in a video conference on Monday.
“To say where we’ll be in four months is hard to do. But I’m certainly hopeful, I’m sure as everybody is out there.”
Mullen tried and stay positive, keeping hope that the season will ensue.
“Hopeful that we find a vaccine and a cure.” said Mullen. “Hopeful that people are working hard to limit the spread of everything going on. Hopeful that people are trying as best they can to follow the regulations and making the most out of each day that’s going on. And hopeful we get back to whatever our new normal is going to be, and that includes having a football season this fall.”
Mullen said that most college coaches will want eight weeks of practice before games start, six could also be manageable. Anything less than six weeks will be nearly impossible for coaches.
This means issues concerning COVID-19 will need to calm by the first two weeks in July to be on schedule for the 2020 college football season.
