You can take your job very seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
Nick Rolovich is a great example of that. Whether it be suiting up for the spring football game — as the Monopoly guy — or enlisting an Elvis Presley impersonator as his wing man in Vegas, the University of Hawaii coach’s quirkiness and creativity serve a dual purpose.
He brings attention to his program while at the same time reminding us that this is a game, and games are meant to be fun.
It’s OK to be a little different, and Rolovich has UH on an upward arc so far.
