Rolovich lead the Rainbow Warriors to a 10-win season in 2019 and put together a 28-27 record during his four years as head coach. Prior to his coaching career, Rolovich grew up in Northern California and played quarterback at City College of San Francisco before completing his college career at the University of Hawai’i.

Nick Rolovich’s last #Hawaii team finished fifth nationally in passing offense (337.1 ypg), but the Rainbow Warriors were respectable in the run game (133 ypg).

Get you a coach who can do both.
