Interesting

Seems a little far fetched to imagine he released this statement without checking with the AD and getting the green light.

If he cannot perform the duties the job requires because of HIS choice???? Can WSU afford to have a coach coaching from home?

Fire him.
I’m no lawyer and I didn’t stay at a holiday inn express last night either but my hunch is any attorney not named Rudi would have no problem making WSU pay up for firing a coach who won’t get vaccinated. Coaches coached last year before it was available. Don’t get me wrong…complete jackass for not vaxxing but that’s another argument.
 
I mean, what the hell is science right now? For 12 months we were told to believe the science. We were told to get vaccinated. Once we did, we were still in masks until June 30th. We have to wear masks on airplanes. They want kids in masks in at school still. People still want mask mandates. People believe in science until it’s inconvenient for them to continue to do so.
Which part wasn’t explained properly . I always understood that a certain amount of people had to get vaccinated for it to work . And I have always been told variants we don’t know about yet could become more infectious the more covid sticks around .

I always had that as my expectation , and I have it as my expectation we get shit down again. Not like before but limits and more mask mandates like what is happening in LA and San Fran .

Is he able to perform his job? If yes, fine. If no, good luck in court.

They pay either way… the contract is almost iron clad … except Mike Prices and Mike Leach’ if I recall correctly .

But he can’t go in in home visits… lake and smith can . Puts the program at an even larger disadvantage
 
Are you going to cover the buyout?
I’m wondering if it could have the opposite affect. Could it push possible recruits away. I find it rather interesting that we force the students to get vaccinated in order to attend school. Then send them to practice or the classroom to be taught by unvaccinated people. Certainly to each his own, but some consistency would be nice, because that makes absolutely zero sense to me..

I agree we would end up in court, but as a student, I would sue the university for the tuition that I paid in the pursuit of my degree.. If I do not get vaccinated I can no longer pursue my education at your institution. Could be a fascinating argument..
 
Yes they did. And tell me how the budget looks? What did the athletic dept lose last academic year ? How about town of Pullman ?

But your point is taken. No financial damage and we can withstand another hit .. and another . Understood
I still hold out hope, even at your advanced age, that you will think before you post.

How about you tell us?
 
Sounds like Mr. Chun is in a good place with Coach RoLo steering clear of the vaccine.

He's certainly not talking about dismissals or suspensions.

"Coach Rolovich and I have had multiple conversations regarding his decision not to receive a Covid-19 vaccine," Chun said. "While WSU has a vaccination mandate, there are policies and procedures for employees to follow who are not vaccinated."

If Mr, Chun and Pres. Schultz are fine with RoLo's choice (maybe they're anti-vaxxers, too), perhaps we all can rest easy.

WSU is requiring proof of vaccination for all students attending classes or living on campus. You can ask for an exemption from the requirement but you will then be required to where a mask.

I have no idea how this will be enforced but that is what I was told in the last communication I received from the school on the subject.

My respect grew for Rolo today. I'm sure he has received pressure on this.

Why would anyone take an experimental shot (not FDA approved, so no legal recourse if complications arise from the shot), when they have zero chance of dying from the virus. I assume he has no comorbidities, and since he is much younger than 70 years old AND the effectiveness of the shots is not close to the claims, there is no good reason to get vaccinated.

I made the same decision. To think that some are pushing for children to get this shot is unreal. Even the CDC data shows a greater chance of a child dying from a lightning strike than dying from C-19.

If I get Covid, then I'll be sick for several days. Big deal.

One of the exemptions is "personal beliefs". That's what my daughter is choosing. Her thoughts, and I wholeheartedly agree, is that at the age of 19 with her child bearing years in front of her, she's not willing to take a chance on a vaccine that has been tested in the way in which this one has. I'm damn proud of her for that decision.
 
What makes it more interesting is WSU to live on campus you have to have your vaccine … the school nor the town can survive an outbreak .

Hard to sell recruits when this eliminates some of the houses you can get into .
Covid - "vaccine" or not- will be with us for many, many years. It will keep mutating and keep flaring up all over the world. Viruses are going to virus.

I saw a stupid Washington DOT electronic road sign the other day..."End the virus..."

Newsflash folks: This thing ain't ending and I don't care if 100 percent of the world is "vaccinated". What a bunch of liars that rule us. Remember "flatten the curve"?? Liars. All liars.
 
regardless, it’s his choice. I just don’t think the Cougs need this kind of pub.
 
Regardless of anyone's personal beliefs regarding the vaccine, this is just bad optics for the program and WSU.

WSU's football program has made headlines for relatively controversial things the past year and a half. I'd like them to not be that program overall.
 
Prior adverse reactions to vaccines.
Adverse- as in- deaths. Also, we don't know the long-term effect of injecting spike proteins into our bodies. That is why the FDA still considers these "vaccines" as experimental. There is no legal recourse if something goes very wrong.

The left believes only in the "science" that supports their totalitarian cult. All other science is disregarded or viciously attacked.

The masks don't do anything. The COVID19 virus is 1000 times smaller than the holes in the blue masks everyone wears.

It's like throwing marbles at scaffolding, sure some will bounce off but the majority of them will get through.

Disagree. Why get vaccinated when you are not at risk from dying due to covid?

Quit using facts and science. We must keep up the charade. It makes us feel better.

I don't agree. Many people are not sold on the vaccines.
 
Hopefully. I do think there is the possibility it helps in certain cases.

The vaccine info shows more and more that it doesn't slow the spread of Covid as it reduces the severity of the symptoms. I don't think the evidence exists to pass strict scrutiny that not getting vaccinated is harmful to others. Maybe harmful to you, but not others who have the option of taking the vaccine or not.
The jury is still out on whether vaccinated people spread it. Best guess is they are far less contagious.

Fauci = science. Just ask him.
 
Imagine what a pandemic with 2% mortality will do. We will actually kill each other out of fear of having a small chance of dying. Rolo may have heart issues, or inflammatory disease, or other immune issues. Maybe he has a religious reason. I’ll assume he has a reason. I dunno why anyone would think they know why he chose not to get one. I got one, I’d get another. But stop being so pious.

I’m not entirely caught up on who’s where here on the QNut conspiracy spectrum, but since you asked me….are you being sarcastic or serious? If it’s the latter I can’t help you or give you an answer that your mind is capable of processing.

I guess to everyone here yucking it up about how silly it is to get vaccinated…Ron F’n DeSantis was pleading with people to get vaxxed today. Mitch was yesterday. Hannity and others at Fox have been this week. Wanna know why? The scales have tipped to where the mutations/variants are killing R voters and QNut TV viewers at a faster rate than fringe right wingers are getting off the sideline to vote from the “own the libs” narrative.

Yup and and he suppose to be the leader. Players have opted out and now some may not want to be around him. We didn’t need this type of drama for the program.

Hahaha. You're funny.

I don't give one damn about what Mitch thinks or any other politician.

Noticed that you didn't answer my question. Shocking.

PS I bet you wear one of those cloth diapers on your face too. Follow the "science", right? Haha!
 
I won’t weigh in on the political nature of getting vaccinated or not because I believe it is irrelevant to my opinion. I just find it incredibly hypocritical that an employer is requiring it’s patrons to be vaccinated, yet the people who will be serving those patrons who said employer employs are not otherwise required. Just seems odd to me..
Don’t tell me I have to be vaccinated to fly to Hawaii then put me on a flight where the pilot and stewardesses aren’t required because you want to avoid legal issues. That’s horseshit.
My personal opinion is that this is bad press at a time when we don’t need it. Not sure how or why this came out, but I would have preferred he gave a good ole, “No comment”. Keep your vaccination status between you and those that need to know. If you feel like you need to share the information when the media, which is a political statement regardless to what others may think.. Then man up and tell them why..

Well, if they’ve been vaccinated, they’re safe. Right?
