Nick Rolovich Emerges as Serious Candidate in Oregon State Coaching Search

Early reporting places the former Washington State coach on Oregon State’s radar during a fluid, multi-candidate process.

Overview

  • An Oregonian report, citing a source, says Rolovich wants to be a head coach again and is interested in the Beavers’ vacancy.
  • Oregon State’s search is in its early stages with interviews ramping up and multiple names under evaluation.
  • Rolovich currently serves as a senior offensive assistant at Cal and previously led Hawaii to a 10-win 2019 season, compiling a 33-33 head-coaching record.
  • His 2021 firing at Washington State for refusing the university’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate remains a factor that could affect public and donor reception.
  • Ed Orgeron previously signaled interest in the job, but fresh reporting questions his commitment as he eyes other opportunities, keeping Rolovich among the prominent names discussed.
