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.

Previous coach was Mike Leach - a Trump guy - who was smart and got out of Washington and is now at Mississippi State. The Reich in Washington will not tolerate anyone opposing their dictates.
He’s lucky to get out and get a possible lawsuit to boot. He’ll get a job in the south or Midwest where there’s still some decency. The WSU team will be a disaster - the offensive coordinator was fired as well, and he was very important to the team’s recent uptick. Hopefully, this will end up taking down their program and administration. Let them wallow in the crap they’ve created. I had an old prof who would always say “everyone creates their own Hell.” They’ve just done that and they’ll never recover from it. There aren’t many serious recruits who will want to sign up with Woke Fascism.
What makes you think this?

Leach pretty much has swallowed his tongue since coming to the SEC.
It’s only his second year. Lot’s of offensive skill position players will go to Miss State to play for Leach. He throws the ball, A LOT, so it’s also a good fit for offensive linemen hoping to play in the NFL where pass protection is at a premium.
Technically, yes. This is a state university.
I keep thinking that too. "Reasonable Accommodation" is the term used had his religious exemption been granted.
I he wore a turban like a Sikh or Burka, he would be given reasonable accommodation based on religion. Had he a physical handicap, he would be given reasonable accommodation.
The Governor set the criteria so high to be granted the exemption, it was impossible to qualify. You had to show that you NEVER had a vaccine in your life due to religious beliefs.
This is nothing more than a purge of those who do not believe like the progressives.
May God Bless these brave men!
Inslee is not capable of thinking twice. Or once. He’s a certified moron.
You just don’t know what you get from week-to-week, they beat NC State and Texas A&M, lose to Memphis and, I really was hoping they’d put up more of a fight against Bama.
We what need is a Cancel Economy that provides for the arbitrarily canceled. Or we financially eviscerate those Canceling.
GaTech versus Cumberland.
