Nicholas Robert Rolovich (/ˈroʊləvɪtʃ/ ROH-lə-vitch; born February 16, 1979) is an American football coach and former player who is currently a senior offensive assistant at California.[1]
Rolovich majored in economics at the University of Hawaii, and received a master's degree at New Mexico Highlands University. He was a quarterback with the Las Vegas Gladiators in the Arena Football League (AFL).
After a lengthy stint as an assistant coach for his alma mater Hawaii, Rolovich served as the Rainbow Warriors' head coach from 2016 to 2019.[2] He then was the head coach of the Washington State Cougars from 2020 to 2021.[3]
In October 2021, after being denied a religious exemption to Washington's requirement for state employees to be vaccinated against COVID-19, Rolovich was terminated by WSU.[4] Rolovich alleges that athletic director Patrick Chun asked him to receive the vaccine on the stadium 50-yard line in front of the entire football team. He has since sued the university for $25 million.[5]
