He gave up a $3 million a year job because he didn't want to gett a vaccine that millions have received with no ill effects (and plenty of good effect). Stupid is as stupid does.

I'm sure there are plenty of private high schools with no vaccine mandates that would hire Rolovich to be their football coach at $35,000 per year.

He is a man of conviction. People who don't have that will never understand and will always resort to calling those that do "stupid".

Conviction to put other people at risk, especially the young people he mentors. Your right, I don't understand it. Selfish attitude.

Couldn’t even face his players. Sad. https://t.co/RRIwFECs5q

What did he teach his players? Perhaps what more universities need to be teaching. There are consequences for your actions and behaviors. And sometimes you need to stand your ground and take what will fall upon you. Rolo will be fine and make a ton of money somewhere else in this free country.

I agree. Despite his .500 record and the headaches he's caused his bosses, I see a school in a red state backing up the money truck for Rolovich. He'll be making way more than $3 million a year in no time. He's a very attractive candidate to ADs.

You want to wager on this?

So what if he was secretive about what he believed in?

COLUMN: No sympathy for Nick Rolovich after Washington State fired him. Not just because he refused the vaccine - but because he never said what it is he actually believes in https://t.co/QVQSMGOMeg via @USATODAY

The government needs to know your thoughts and beliefs. They need to know if you have joined the collective Borg or not.

You do understand that the "government" has not demanded to know his thoughts or beliefs.

And that the "government" has not demanded he receive the vaccine.

You get that right?

Just to be clear: He was unable to answer questions from the media about his beliefs.

And that the "government" has not demanded he receive the vaccine.

You get that right?

---

You do understand that Washington is a state, correct? This was not a WSU mandate but a state mandate put in place by governor Inslee. All state employees of any kind must accept the vaccine or be fired. The state is the government. please tell me you get this.

He has both a better Pac-12 record at WSU and overall record (including his time in Hawaii) than Wilcox. And Wilcox has had nearly all of the advantages coaching at Cal vs. trying to recruit to Pullman.

Cal Strong think neither likely to be head coaches again. But if one were to get another HC job, it will be Rolovich.

Yup he has every right to not get the vaccine but zero right to remain a state employee…

Given his leadership position at the University, he has totally failed those he was hired to lead. That wasn't stupid. That was complete abdication of responsibility.

He taught his team that there are consequences to your actions and behaviors. And he taught his team that some times in life you need to take a stand and let the chips fall where they may. That is a better life lesson than "give up your personal convictions for fear of the big bad government entity holding a gun to your head". More university instructors need to teach lessons like this.

If you're going to be an anti-science, anti-public health, anti-community, and anti-role model meat head you don't get to be a leader of men/women. I'd say the same about any Cal coach too

Yah that's a bunch of literal BS. My god

Straying from the argument about so-called personal rights versus spreading disease by reason of refusal to receive a vaccine is the odd behavior I found in a relative. He refused the injection since he had a bad experience as a child. A medical professional, nurse or doctor, caused a small boy to cry from the pain of the injection and that memory has been carried into adulthood. Consequently, he has refused his wife's plea to receive the vaccine and the plea of many relatives and friends to do so.

I mention this because I wonder how many others are basically afraid of needles? I have received many injections as I moved into the latter stages of life. I was surprised at how quickly the vaccine injection is inserted into the arm. The whole process took less than 3 seconds. It was over before I realized it had begun. I actually wondered if they really provided me with the Moderna vaccine. Since I'm healthy and well I guess I did receive the vaccine.

The guys at the muffler shop and the hunting lodge must be impressed by his conviction.
If you can impress that demographic, you must be a man.
