Washington State football coach Nick Rolovich has been fired for cause after refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine and being noncompliant with both state and university policies, the university announced Monday evening. Rolovich sought, and appears to have been denied, a religious exemption from those mandates, which required employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 by Oct. 18 if they wished to continue working.
Four Washington State assistant coaches have also been terminated: Ricky Logo (defensive tackles), John Richardson (assistant head coach, cornerbacks), Craig Stutzmann (co-offensive coordinator, quarterbacks) and Mark Weber (offensive line).
Defensive coordinator Jake Dickert will serve as the team's interim coach.

Well USC doesn’t beat a lot of teams these days.
Guys like that have contracts. I’d bet he has solid standing to sue the university for changing the terms of the contract.
It’s the only way this year’s Huskies could win the Apple Cup.
Hopefully the players will quit in solidarity.
yeah that contract thingy we can ignore. Why we are leftist fascists so contracts have no place in the new world order
Of whom are represented by the SEIU, one of the largest campaign donors to the Democrat party
He’s at Mississippi State now, you know. I’d wager on him being contrarian on the issue.
“That should make my brother in law happy. He’s constantly complaining about the cost of the football program at WSU”
Did he also complain about the crappy product WSU more often than not trots out onto the field? Mike Leach “the pirate” had a few good years.... probably cheated as he has been know to do before he cut bait.
Talk about biased reporting.
Tell them to play the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
Cause yer tyrants?
He’s also 4-3....that doesn’t buy you favors.
Sad but probably true
His replacement, Dickert, is a coward.
If his players thought anything of these coaches, they would walk off the team. But, they won’t because they are tied to scholarships. So, they will bow down and comply.
The idea is to do away with old folks costing the gub mint money.
Look what Cuomo did in N.Y., send sick in to nursing homes to inflict the elderly with little chance to fight off the China virus thus doing away with billions of medicare and medical or what ever payments.
Older folks smoked Loads thus making their respiratory systems weak. Them being in gub mint funded nursing homes and paying for their health care, hell do away with those not producing and save lots of money.
Cull the herd as it were.
I wonder if UConn would hire him as coach. He didn’t get fired for losing games!
I foresee him filing and winning a multimillion dollar lawsuit. Courts have repeatedly upheld the religious exemption.
This is absolutely disgusting. The way the article read is he was a “state employee.” Is that right?
I would love to see the players refuse to play, walk off the field before the game and not come back. I would hope THAT would really make Inslee think twice.
