HONOLULU — Nick Rolovich, former University of Hawaii quarterback and assistant coach, and current University of Nevada offensive coordinator, has been selected as UH’s new head coach.
Rolovich will be introduced at a press conference Monday.
“Being raised a Warrior, there is a great sense of excitement and responsibility about bringing back a winning tradition to Hawaii football,” Rolovich said. “I can’t wait to get started. I’m honored to be selected to run this program which has made me into the man I am today.”
David Matlin, UH athletics director, said he was pleased to welcome Rolovich to the UH ohana.
“Nick is a Warrior at heart and someone I know our fans will support,” Matlin said. “He understands what it means to be a Warrior having played and coached here and what affect a winning program has with this community. I have no doubt we picked the right man for this job. The future is bright for Hawaii football.”
Rolovich starred for UH from 2000-01 and later joined the Greg McMackin’s coaching staff from 2008-11, the latter three years as the team’s primary play-caller. He joined Nevada in 2012 and spent the past four seasons as the offensive coordinator under head coach Brian Polian.
Rolovich will coach his final game at Nevada today at San Diego State.
