Second-year coach Nick Rolovich and four assistants were dismissed by the Pac-12 program Monday.
Rolovich opened his Washington State tenure in 2020 by charming during a recruiting trip to Seattle. He had tweeted an invitation for fans to join him to chat at a pub, a gesture almost unheard of in the insulated world of college football coaching. He won further adoration during the pandemic when he supported local restaurants by buying dinners and offering them to the public.
As Rolovich spoke by video, he began by extolling his strength coach, reeling in the news of a player injury, reveling in “a ton of excitement for Utah State, our first game,” expressing gratefulness for having had a spring practice, noting “about 18 starters returning this season” and praising the “unwavering commitment from the players in our program,” saying he had been “impressed with their mental strength, with their focus on health and safety.
