Nick Rolovich was fired for cause by Washington State University after blowing through a deadline mandating that state employees get vaccinated against COVID-19.
In California, “Our Children, Our Choice” protests against the vaccine mandate for students continue. In Chicago, the police union is in a standoff to protect officers who refuse to be vaccinated.You’re never going to convince guys like ex-Washington State coach Nick Rolovich to get the shot. It’s a waste of breath.
“This is a tough day for Washington State football,” athletic director Pat Chun said, announcing the firings at a news conference where he also said Rolovich’s request for a religious exemption was denied.Except that Rolovich did. He said in July he wouldn’t get vaccinated and despite knowing it could mean he’d be forced to walk away from his team in midseason, he repeated it only Saturday, not long after a win over Stanford.
If that’s the case, maybe Rolovich should have shared some of the reasons for his faith before it came to this. He didn’t, likely because there aren’t any. All he said was “for reasons which will remain private. …Let’s be clear: There’s not a college coach in the country popular or successful enough to defy the law and get away with it and none who want to repeat the mess that was the pandemic-interrupted 2020 season. Rolovich, it turns out, isn’t exactly flush on either count.
June Jones, who mentored Rolovich during his time on the staff at Hawaii, always found him a handful. For that reason alone, Jones was one of the most public members of the fraternity urging his former assistant to change his mind.
