Controversy
In the wake of the Georgia Senate runoff elections in January 2021, offensive line assistant coach Chris Malone was fired after posting on Twitter, "Congratulations to the state GA and Fat Albert @staceyabrams because you have truly shown America the true works of cheating in an election, again!!!... Enjoy the buffet Big Girl! You earned it!!! Hope the money was good, still not governor!" The post was later deleted.[3]
