Washington State University FIRES football coach Nick Rolovich and four assistants over refusal to take Covid vaccine
WASHINGTON State University has fired football coach Nick Rolovich and four assistants over their refusal to get vaccinated against Covid-19.
Rolovich, Washington State’s highest-paid employee who applied for a religious exemption from the vaccine earlier this month, is expected to be replaced with defensive coordinator Jake Dickert as the interim coach, a source told ESPN.
ESPN reported the news on Monday — the deadline for state employees to become fully vaccinated or obtain an approved medical or religious exemption.
It’s hasn’t been revealed whether Rolovich’s exemption request had been denied or approved, according to the report.
Rolovich’s firing comes nearly two years after he was hired at Washington State University.
