Reardon: There is a method to Rolovich’s madness
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. Few thought the first-time head coach could lead the Rainbow Warriors to their first non-losing season since 2010, but he did exactly that last year.
