So I asked a buddy about Rolo

Talked to some buddies tonight. We drank beers with Rolo right before lockdown at NQ. Wondering how much he really wants to be the coach of tWSU?
Can you expand a bit more on the theme of the chat? Just wondering what were some of his tells in your opinion now when you look back….

Wonder if RoLo is one of those who just likes to coach football and not deal with the other parts of his job?
Could be… then he needs to give back his three million and become an assistant . Part of the job .
 
The optics of this mess may have been the cause of WSU, Rolo losing a recruit to Liberty.

But Oh No Rolo has not harmed recruiting with the optics of this mess.
What is Liberty College's Vax and mask policy?

Any chance Liberty alum and former college president Fallwell Jr wears a mask when he watches his vaccinated wife get screwed by other vaccinated men?

The Covid vaccine is optional and there is no mask or social distancing requirement.

She could be the head recruiter .

It was nothing concrete that he said, more of a “I can’t believe they are paying me $3M to coach and I never in a million years figured I’d be doing it in Pullman but wtf, I’ll give it a go. Either way I’m rich“ vibe. Probably not fair for me to post that but if you look at the time I’d had a few beverages.
 
Damn, not good. However my daughter says she's heard from the players of an attitude that seems to jive with what you say.
 
Another interesting subplot that’s brewing involves some of the Big 12 schools that are being rumored candidates for P12 membership.

What are the vax rates for Oklahoma State, TCU, Kansas, Kansas State, TCU, Texas Tech and Baylor? I know OK State is just over 50%, and Gundy defends the players right to choose.

Regardless of the vaccine, you have to wonder how some of the existing members of our league are going to cope with the potential influx of Red State influence.
 
Reminds me of two coaches (FB, BB) this site likes to discuss (argue) about.

Think the Seattle pub crawl won't be repeated soon by Rolo or others....

I don't really care if a coach wants to be a lifer in Pullman or not. Given the state of the program in relation to what other places can offer a coach, we don't want a coaching staff without higher ambitions. I do take offense when someone suggests a coach should be given a long leash because they'll stick around forever. Judge them by wins and losses and how they recruit. Get rid of them if they aren't getting the job done.
 
He'll get at least two full seasons. Last year was not a full season, and was a shitshow that was not entirely of his own making. Next season is the critical one because he'll be looking at needing a contract extension.
If Rolo can't win six games this season, he should be fired. Period. There's enough talent on the team to win 6 games.

Agreed. While QB is one of the bigger question marks, he’s supposed to be a QB guy and there’s 2 QBs on the roster that have proven they can play. The rest of the roster is pretty damn solid. No reason to not win 6-7.

Or he was ingratiating himself to alums. "Such a great school, little ole me is unworthy."

Read better. The buyout will be $3.6 million. The AD lost $31.7 million in 2020. Chun and Schulz are not going to pull the trigger.

I do think Rolovich should get to coach at least two real seasons before his fate is determined. 2020 was not a real season.
I did read it. You're okay with a sub-6 win season.

The deficit will grow even larger if the wins don't follow.

Ok. Please show me where I said I was OK with a sub-6 win season?

This might blow your mind, but I can not be OK with a sub-6 win season AND realize that the AD is not in a position to fire the coach AND believe that a coach deserves at least two full seasons to be evaluated. It's totally possible for me to think this way.

That's a totally fair and possible way to think that way. And that's all you had to lead with. Instead you lead with a buyout/money point.

So he has to point out the obvious (that every Coug fan wants the most success for the program year in, year out), in order to validate his Coug-ness to you? Would he also have to bend the knee while professing this undying loyalty to Coug Nation upon this frequent request?
 
This is uncharted territory we’re in right now. The suits will have to figure it out, but I think a lot will depend on what the Pac-12 does with their rules regarding vaccinated and unvaccinated. If it makes it almost impossible for Rolovich to perform is Gameday duties then Wazzu has a case but I have no clue.
Bingo … I am wondering if that is their out… our coach can’t coach because the conference they are in dictates sun employees be vaccinated.

Either that or every time an unvaccinated coach pulls down their mask in the game it is 50k. Or the conference fines a cooqch who is unvaccinated x amount of dollars for not playing a game due to a covid outbreak.
