Stutzmann said he applied for a religious exemption before ultimately getting fired
Navy football coach Billy Ray Stutzmann was fired this week after refusing to get the COVID-19 vaccine and then having his request for religious exemption denied, he said Monday.
Stutzmann, who served as the offensive assistant coach, confirmed in a lengthy post on social media that he would be leaving the Midshipmen after three seasons after failing to comply with the program’s vaccine protocols.
“The Naval Academy Athletic Association policy regarding COVID-19 requires all coaches and staff to be vaccinated against this virus. Based on my religious convictions, and after much thought and prayer, I am unable to follow the requirements of the Naval Academy’s COVID-19 policy, as it had changed these last few months,” his statement read.
“After applying for a religious exemption and attempting to further negotiate alternative working arrangements, I was ultimately relieved of my duties here at Navy. I continue to stand firm in my conviction of faith, but I understand and respect that each individual and institution has a choice on how they wish to manage these issues.”
Good for you. There are plenty of other teams out there that need a good coach. Try the Cowboys…
