University of Redlands head football coach Mike Maynard has been placed on administrative leave after posting a tweet asking where he could get a bomb in response to nationwide protests over systemic racism and police brutality after the death of George Floyd.
Director of Athletics Jeff Martinez announced the decision Saturday, saying the tweet has caused "distress in our community." According to Josh Peter of USA Today, Maynard tweeted, "What kind of bomb? I want one of those" in response to an explosive detonating inside a car during a protest in Riverside, California.
