Nicholas Robert Rolovich ( ROH-lə-vitch; born February 16, 1979) is an American football coach and former player who is currently the quarterbacks and assistant head coach at California. Rolovich majored in economics at the University of Hawaii and earned a master's degree from New Mexico Highlands University. He played as a quarterback with the Las Vegas Gladiators in the Arena Football League (AFL). After a lengthy stint as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Hawaii, Rolovich served as the Rainbow Warriors' head coach from 2016 to 2019. He then served as the head coach of the Washington State Cougars from 2020 to 2021. In October 2021, after his request for a religious exemption to Washington’s COVID-19 vaccination mandate for state employees was denied, Rolovich was terminated by Washington State University. He later filed a lawsuit against the university, seeking $25 million in damages, alleging wrongful termination and religious discrimination. His lawsuit was unsuccessful, with U.S. District Court Judge Thomas O. Rice ruling in favor of the university.
