While many Coug fans were sorry that previous coach Mike Leach, one of the most successful at WSU, left Pullman for Mississippi State, others were relieved. The coach was known for his undying support for President Trump and his snappy attitude toward his players and the media.
When Nick Rolovich was hired, Cougars were excited to have a new face who would make more news on the sidelines and little news away.
Well, that has changed when it was announced that Rolovich would not attend Pac 12 Media Day. He had not gotten his COVID vaccination and had no plans to do so. Suddenly, Cougar football fans found themselves in familiar territory, another polarizing move by a football coach.
While I need to point out, Rolovich said he respected everyone's opinion on whether or not to get vaccinated, his decision not only takes the program where it doesn't really want to go, it can also endanger the health of the players and staff. Just last Fall, the Apple Cup was cancelled when players tested positive for COVID.
If he does not even have the common sense to get vaccinated would you trust him to have the common sense to leader others?
