More on Nick Rolovich

Dan Wetzel with, I believe, a pretty fair look at Rolovich being fired as head coach at Washington State. The fact that four assistants also had to be fired shows Rolovich wasn't alone in his beliefs in that locker room. 

It should be noted that Rolovich was paid $3 million last year and was set to make that much this year as well. No information on what he receives as termination pay but I'm sure it will be a hefty amount. Rolovich probably made at least $1 million a year previously as head coach at Hawaii. Suffice it to say he can probably comfortable retire at this point. Others aren't as well financially situated and are being forced to either compromise their beliefs or lose their jobs. That's not right.

I'm surprised that unions are not being more vocal about this. Or perhaps they are but it is just not being widely reported? 

Washington State Coach Nick Rolovich in Vaccine Mandate Limbo

Washington State head football coach Nick Rolovich in vaccine mandate limbo as he waits to hear if his religious exception is granted. Or if he may be out of a job.

Rolovich has about $9 million left on his contract and if he is fired - I say he has a good case to be paid the whole amount. He is not breaking any rules of the university and not all PAC 12 coaches have to obey any sort of mandate. Sure all Washington state employees have to comply (see the stories about all the State troopers "retiring" because of it) but I'm guessing there wasn't any such language in his contract.

EDIT: Nick Rolovich reportedly out as coach of Washington State. This story is far from over though.
