HONOLULU -- Hawaii has hired Nevada offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich as its head football coach.
Athletic director David Matlin announced the hiring of Rolovich, a former Warriors quarterback, in a news release Friday.
"He understands what it means to be a Warrior, having played and coached here, and what affect a winning program has with this community," Matlin said. "I have no doubt we picked the right man for this job. The future is bright for Hawai'i football."
Rolovich played for the Warriors in 2000 and '01 and coached under Greg McMackin from 2008-11. He was the team's primary play-caller in his final three seasons as a Hawaii assistant.
