Nicholas Robert Rolovich (/ˈroʊləvɪtʃ/ROH-lə-vitch; born February 16, 1979) is an American football coach and former player. He was most recently the head football coach at Washington State University (WSU).[1][2][3] 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).
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]
