Mountain West Conference:

Nick Rolovich – Hawai’i (3-10 overall, 0-8 MWC in 2015)

Career Head Coaching Record: 0-0
Last Stop: Offensive Coordinator – Nevada
Prediction: 1-11, 0-8 MWC

If ever there was a time to wish you weren’t in Hawai’i, its when you are working as the head football coach for the Warriors. Rolovich is really going to find out how tough this job really is now after having worked here as an offensive coach for a number of years prior to his four years at Nevada.

Not only is Hawai’i bad on the football field, but the athletic department is having a myriad of financial troubles. There’s no real upside to taking over here other than days off on the beach.

The Rainbow Warriors don’t even get their Taco Bye against Wyoming this season, but wins against UNLV and UMass are possible. The games against Cal, Michigan and Arizona will be downright ugly.
