Rolo Fired For Cause Reportedly
- Thread starter SDCoug
- Start date
Bring on the lawsuit Rolo, be sure to name Inslee, Shultz and Chun. Rolo will win, as he should.
I know of other college coaches in the state that have had their religious exemption approved and have been accommodated, fact.

I don’t have good understanding of this type of lawsuit regarding a mandate of this order. Who would Rolo go after? The university, or the state, for the mandate? Seems it would be more the state since the university is merely enforcing the states mandate. Although it seems the university can be very peculiar in how and with who they choose to enforce it on. Seems like this will be a case that sets precedent for cases in the future.
My last day as a Coug. Purge starts soon.
May have more later, but I think the past few weeks, and the implication that the exemption application was based on religious grounds, leaves him positioned much better going forward than was speculated earlier (where, e.g., it was speculated he would have to coach in NAIA or just be out of the game).
A coach who just won three straight Pac-12 games, and then comported himself pretty well about this whole thing -- other than the substantive act that gave rise to the dismissal -- based on a principled decision, even if a faulty one, is much better-positioned going forward than a coach who looked incompetent or had other reasons (e.g., believing the vaccine was magnetic and would leave him prone to alien mind control engineered by reptilian shape-shifters, or whatever) for refusing the vaccine. He probably can get a job as head coach in the G of 5, or if not at least in the Sun Belt or Big Sky, in a red or purple state.
Edit: by comporting himself well, I am referring to recent behavior in press conferences and such, which some on his side of this wedge issue will appreciate, and not his original clumsy announcement or, of course, the position more generally.
Obviously much more to discuss here and more developments to come.

Stutz is likely one. I also heard, again don’t know if true, possibly Weber, Logo, and Richardson were unvaccinated? I thought it was mainly a offensive thing…. Will be very sad if it is true about Richardson. Also heard 2 got medical exemptions so don’t know what to believe. Most sure about Stutz tho.
So you’re rooting for the guy who’s been here for 11 games to take down your program and your school because he is on the same side as what you believe? Cool.
You'll be back. I thought the BLM support was appalling but it only changed how I support the team. Being a Coug has been a part of my identity nearly 30 years, and I found it impossible to turn it off. I just focused my energy elsewhere.
He and Allen were seen leaving the building together a little earlier. Don’t know what that means, though.
Why would a lawsuit take down the program and school? Or do you think Woods' lawsuit is doing the same?
The state will pay bear the burden. Not WSU, not WSU athletics, and not WSU football.
Rolo had an employment contract, he sues WSU for breach. The other stuff is a long shot, the law is pretty well settled regarding state action amidst a pandemic, they have broad powers and discretion. For example, Typhoid Mary was quarantined for 26 years, lawfully.
I didn’t say it would. The poster I was responding to was cheering for it, mentioning Chun and Schultz. Got no issue with Inslee being thrown into that mix, and if Rolo wants to go after the state have at it. Not sure why any Coug fan would be hoping for a lawsuit against WSU.
Unbelievable how this has divided the state, country and world. Next I guess we hunt people down, pin them to the ground and jab them?
Something from the AD or school should be released by now. Unless they haven’t finished all conversations. They must have something already prepared.
I think the fact that the OSHA mandate pokes a few holes in this. If they thought they could mandate vaccines generally, they would have, rather than allowing testing in lieu of a vaccination. And there is still a lawsuit pending against the employee vaccination mandate winding its way through the courts.
It'll name the State, WSU, Inslee, Schulz, and Chun. Inslee will be dismissed based on executive privilege. Schulz and Chun will be released because they're acting as agents of WSU, not as individuals. WSU will say that they're not the ones who made the rule, they're just enforcing the state mandate, so cannot be held responsible. And the case against the state will be dismissed because of emergency powers. Case closed.
OSHA is irrelevant. L&I has primacy in Washington, and they aren't allowing a testing alternative.
If a lawsuit tosses the vaccine mandate, it would change things significantly, but that's not going to happen.
I only know one. And he's so far left wing he would make Bernie and AOC look like Pat Buchanan. My mother, uncle, my aunt, father-in-law, mother-in-law, wife's aunts, etc., are all vaccinated and are all *strongly* opposed to the vaccine mandates and shutdowns. It's hardly universal.
I mention it as a principle, not as precedent. I understand the primacy, but if that principle that held back Biden's hand might apply to Inslee's as well.
And I don't think it'll toss the mandate, only make exemptions and accommodations easier to receive. And that might be a testing alternative.
not evenly anyway. the 4chan/facebook researchers are just loud and ignorant.
WSU had the power to approve Rolovich's exemption. They wanted him gone once he announced he wasn't vaccinated and they used the power of Inslee's grotesque, over-reaching mandate to do so. Put Chun and Schultz on the "Get F**ked" list along with their boy Inslee.
Yes. The totalitarian religious cult has imposed this without caring one bit about personal liberty. It is very impressive that Rolo stood his ground and didn't sell out to idiots like Inslee.
I never worry about others getting vaccinated if I get a flu vaccine. That is their decision. They must then accept the consequences if they get sick with the flu.
Guys like Ed are thrilled, no doubt.
The Branch Covidians love this moment in history. It is really sickening because it is immoral.
It's not about Boomers or non-boomers. It is about personal risk assessment and doing what you believe is in your best interests given your own particular risk profile.
Can you guys take the f!cking commentary and bickering to one of the other 150 threads?
I'm sure moron Inslee loves to see our team implode. Misery loves company these days as a dog fan.
For shits and giggles, I'll go ahead post what I said last week (which really got some panties in a twist): If you have a BMI north of 25, you are a flippin' hypocrite for supporting vaccination mandates. You've been told for decades that your inability to eat healthy and exercise is a national health emergency; the treatment and research monies wasted on your preventable "disease" harms the general public.
As for Inslee, he is the same ahole who wasted $5,000,000+ of our money on his moronic run for president. Running for office since he left Eisenhower High School, three term deadbeat, believer in "Great Man Theory." Mind you, while he's going about his aloof leadership style, the President and First Lady are caught eating out in public in Washington D.C. without masks. More god damned hypocrites...
