To the degree it played a role at all, it was his refusal to step down as pastor of a congregation that was the issue, not the beliefs itself.

...now here's a guy with some common sense! I suspect you probably never went to college....and if you did....dropped out after a couple of semesters because you realized you were wasting both time and money!!!
.... don't drop the soap.

It IS a division of time and priorities. But I disagree with you on the rest. Owning/running an ice cream stand in LA is different than bringing that ice cream business to GS and running it on team premises. Reportedly, he was not just having pre-game prayers with players. There were SEPARATE buses taking players to each game so those who chose to could attend a pre-game worship service LED by Coach/Reverend Jackson.
Let me put it this way. If you had a boss that said to everyone in your department, "work day starts at 8:00, but I'm also a Reverend and I hold worship service at 7:15 a.m. I invite & encourage all of you to attend so we can get the day off to a great start. We'll meet here, and then transportation will be provided to/from the service." Would you have a problem with that? Do you think employees would feel pressured to attend even if their belief systems are different or they don't believe in religion at all?
So "Separation of Church and State" was not a correct term, but there is still a definite question of ethics in Jackson being the HC and inviting/encouraging employees to attend religious meetings he runs.

....excellent post! Fine illustrations to fit the material and audience! My expression "separation of church and state" was just a "generalization" of sorts that was clearly seen by even the most casual observer on this board
as meaning he was "forcing" religious views on his players! I'm sure a college grad like you picked up on that right away! Right?
While it's a compliment that the thought of me makes you all sweaty and go please yourself in the shower, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you because I am not attracted to you.

Interesting article. Made some very good points and observations. I liked this one:
"One thing his star player appreciated was the lack of negativity in their locker room. No crazy, vile rap music, scarce profanity aimed his way.....
If Lacob doesn’t know that about his star, and brings in a guy whose going to turn the locker room into what it was when Don Nelson, Baron Davis and Stephen Jackson ruled the roost, it will not be endearing to his franchise player."
