Goddamn idiots:

James Shillam had just achieved a life-long dream of coaching at one of the most heralded high school football programs in the country. He signed on to coach at Allen High School and was excited to start the new season.

“He adored every minute of Texas football,” said his wife Kyp Shillam while sitting in the stands at Allen Eagle Stadium. “For him, Allen was his dream. It was his promised land,” she said.

Shillam fell ill in early August and died Sunday after a nearly two-and-a-half-week fight with COVID. He was 56. The family told WFAA Shillam was not vaccinated, and that it was a personal choice to not get vaccinated.
