Nicholas Robert Rolovich (born February 16, 1979) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach for the University of Hawaii at Manoa, following his leave after the 2015 season as an offensive coordinator for the Nevada Wolf Pack football team. He was a quarterback with the Las Vegas Gladiators in the Arena Football League. He majored in economics at the University of Hawaii. He received a master's degree at New Mexico Highlands University.
Nick Rolovich attended Marin Catholic High School in Kentfield, California, and was a student and won varsity letters in football and baseball. In football, he led his teams to two League Championships.
Rolovich was a two-time junior college All-American (1998–99) at City College of San Francisco, where he led the Rams to a national championship in 1999.
Rolovich was a two-year letterman at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where he replaced starter and eventual all-time NCAA career passing leader Timmy Chang early in the 2001 season, leading the Hawaii Warriors football team to an 8-1 record. During those nine games, Rolovich threw for 3,361 yards and 34 touchdowns on 233-of-405 passing. He ended his college career with three straight 500-yard passing games. He also tossed school single-game records of 8 touchdowns and 543 yards in a 72-45 win over BYU on December 8, 2001. Those numbers helped him place tenth in the nation in pass efficiency (105.5) while breaking 19 school passing records and eight total offense records. Rolovich participated in and was named one of the two MVPs from the 2002 Hula Bowl college all-star game.
