For those who think Rolo hasn't committing career suicide ...

Please read the following article on the struggles of our Mike Leach, and he was cleared, and is/was a hell of a coach!

Why won't anyone hire Mike Leach?

Miami never called, either. The school had interviewed Leach four years earlier for the opening that eventually went to Randy Shannon, and upon Shannon's

www.si.com

Only a desperate dumpster fire of a program gave him a second chance, us.

Rolo knows he has this lawsuit, and/or a "do you want to supersize that" career ahead of him!

Have you noticed the complete lack of the college coaches and facility showing him any moral support?

Leach was never in a situation where he had to be a VOLUNTEER HIGHSCHOOL ASSISTANT POSITION COACH in order to coach.

Leach was a SUCCESSFUL coach at Texas Tech. He had 10 straight bowl game seasons, and his worst season was 7,8 wins, lost bowl game.

Also he was a sports announcer, analyst, had a PAID sports related job.

And the reason why he had that job, instead of coaching, is not because he couldn't get a good coaching job.

The reason why, is that he was upset, needed a small break, and he needed some time to sue Texas Tech, because he was rightfully pissed off about what happened.

If he didn't want a temporary break. If he had chosen not to sue Texas Tech, Leach would have gotten another HC job.

It's PARTIALLY right and wrong that Leach needed WSU.

Leach wasn't going to get a Texas Tech type or better HC gig. BUT he could have gotten jobs at ISU, Ore St, WSU types, if they had HC vacancies.

If WSU didn't hire Leach, 1 of those other colleges would have.

One of the reasons Leach chose WSU, is NOT because he was supposedly desperate and that that was his only last chance, that supposedly no other college would hire him as a HC.

The reason why Leach chose WSU, is for the same reason he Leach chose Texas Tech, MSU, and that is that HE LIKES TURNING PROGRAMS AROUND, SAVING THEM, and HAVING THE FREEDOM TO DO THINGS HIS WAY, AND NOT BE BOTHERED BY ANYBODY, ETC.

And WSU fit that bill. Also Leach had won his lawsuit, been found innocent of the accusation against him, and his accusers were found to be liars, wrong, etc, months, years before he got his HC job at WSU.

It's not like WSU hired Leach BEFORE Leach won his lawsuit, despite the accusations, because of WSU's DESPERATENESS.

That didn't happen.

WSU hired Leach AFTER he was CLEARED and a GOOD CANDIDATE AGAIN.


That situation is DIFFERENT then Rolo's because Rolo was a semi bad, below average coach that couldn't recruit, that a semi troublemaker, that can't get a coaching job, because he is not a good coach, and because of that was a VOLUNTEER HIGHSCHOOL ASSISTANT POSITION UNPAID COACH.

That's DIFFERENT then the Leach, WSU situation.

Not much of a comparison. Before coming to WSU, Leach was 84-43 with 10 bowl appearances (5 wins) and 5 top-25 finishes in 10 years...all at a P-5 school. Rolovich was 28-27 at a mid-major, went to the same bowl 3 times (won 2). Never finished in the top 25.

Also, you have to factor in the impact of other things that have largely left the public consciousness. Remember how he handled the Pac-12 "unity group"? Whatever the truth behind that was, the perception was that he booted a kid off the team for being part of it. Especially in today's political climate, that's going to be something administrators remember.

So, it ends up being a coach who has a mediocre record in a lower level conference, with at least 2 PR issues - one being COVID, the other being race-related, and who has a suit pending against his former employer. His performance isn't good enough to outweigh the other items, he doesn't have the kind of notoriety that will generate buzz, his most visible position is controversial, and the slightest shadow of any sort of racism makes one basically untouchable. If he gets another job in the next few years, it's going to be a coordinator at the FCS level. He won't be an FBS head coach in the next 5 years.

I see him getting a coordinators role at a junior college in a state like Texas or possibly at an FCS school at a place like Utah Tech

If he lights it up he’ll get better opportunities. Winning cures just about everything

Not even a coordinator like OC at a FCS like NDSU.

He MIGHT become a ASSISTANT WR OR QB POSITION at either D2, D3, FCS, Whitworth, CWU, Evergreen State, EWU, etc, type of college.
