Washington State's head football coach fired for refusing Covid-19 vaccine

Washington State head football coach Nick Rolovich speaks during an NCAA college football news conference, in Pullman, Wash., on Jan. 16, 2020.Washington State University’s head football coach has been fired after refusing to get vaccinated against Covid-19, the school said Monday.made him the highest-paid public employee in Washington

“This is a disheartening day for our football program,” the university’s director of athletics, Pat Chun, said in a statement. “Our priority has been and will continue to be the health and well-being of the young men on our team.” The school’s president, Kirk Schulz, noted that while a minority of vaccine resisters have gotten outsize attention, 90 percent of university employees and 97 percent of students have been vaccinated.Rolovich, who was in his second season at Washington State and had led the team to 4-3 record so far this year, had applied for an exemption but was denied, Chun told reporters Monday. Rolovich was fired for cause, Chun said, adding that the mandate made him no longer eligible to work at the school.

“While I have made my own decision, I respect that every individual — including coaches, staff and student-athletes — can make his or her own decision regarding the Covid-19 vaccine. I will not comment further on my decision.”

Sha nah nah nah, sha nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!

Respect. They continue to weaponize the Vax vs Non Vax. What happens if 20% of the country just quit thier jobs and Protest...Then they will stop the mandate nonsense...😡

Good

GTFO

Bravo .. nobody above the law

Good.

I don't know why people are so afraid of science.

So what? Say bye bye.

Using the vaccination mandate, Rolovich is an example of how public and private institutions can unload bad employees without the drawn out agony of the standard HR termination.

And nobody cares. B-Bye

Who would give this guy a football job, this is so selfish. What a terrible role model, kids were recruited to the school to be coached by him.Then he walks away half way through the season.

Good! There are consequences for failing to protect your teammates and the public.

And loses 3.2 mil for not wanting to protect himself from a virus during a pandemic. Solid firing, he didn’t even address his players.

Surely there is a fascist organization that will take him in

If you cheer this, you should leave the country.

Everyday I’m surprised by people’s stupidity. Best to keep them away from your kids, no matter their age.

Good for him.

Fool….

Dumb ass

Dollar Store is hiring.

Let the consequences prevail

good

Good.

Good. I hear there’s currently a severe truck driver shortage.

Excellent. Regardless of your political views on the vaccine, Rolovich decided he was superior to all of us and had his own rules. Good that he is gone, justly fired as an employee who failed to follow the rules.

GOOD

Bye bye Bozo

Right move WSU. Proud of you.

who?

Bye bye.

Good 👍 this idea by anti-vaccine people that everyone else must protect their hateful, stupid, leeching off of 🇺🇸 is ridiculous and must 🛑! GetVaccinatedNow us military and veterans are vaccinated, so act like real Americans and GetVaccinated

I can only imagine what this football coaches emails look like

Idiot

He thought they would blink but, alas, they didn't. Play chicken and you might get run over. And he did. These guys think they're so freaking special. Guess what dude- you aren't. Adios amigo

👋👋👋 GET GONE & GOOD RIDDANCE!!! THE SOONER THE BETTER & STAY AWAY FROM THE ELDERLY, IMMUNE COMPROMISED, & KIDS!!! CONSIDER YOU'RE AN INTENTIONAL 'KILLER - MURDERER' OTHERWISE!

how can anyone have him lead a team sport again

This MAGGAt

Folks will needle him about this..

Nothing of value was lost

There is no good reason to not get vaccinated against covid. There are a million reasons to GetVaccinated

Just get the stupid thing..my god, what's the big as deal, oooo,get a needle and have crap put in your body, alot of you put even worse crap eatting the crap you eat. Just get the damn thing, I got it just to shut people up & keep my job. This is not a big deal. Damn
