The head football coach at Viera (Fla.) has been fired after a hazing video surfaced on social media, according to a report by Tony Atkins at WESH 2. Several students have also been suspended.
Brevard County School Board Chair Matt Susin released a statement chiding the coach for not having any observation during the incident.
“When our kids act that way, I would’ve handed in my resignation within an hour. I would have; I promise you I would have… You can’t have kids in a game situation or a practice situation that are just sitting around with no observation.”
An open student-parent meeting will address the issue at the school later today (August 11, 2023) at 6 p.m.
Viera is set to play their first game of the 2023 season on Friday night at South Fork (Fla.).
