If at the end of the football season, Norm Chow decides to forgive his remaining contract,people will remember him as the greatest Assistant coach in collegiate football. Leaving the football program after the season is the honorable way to go.

Norm Chow is a control freak which translates to him being in control of the entire game. He apparently has instructed his special team unit to rush, rush at all times. Two specific instances backfired. 1. Personal foul when UH player hit the passer. Next play touchdown. 2. Personal foul on UH player for roughing the kicker. Next play touchdown.

One thing UH football can do is to improve on substitutions. Tired players cannot perform. They miss tackles , fail to carry out blocking assignments and cannot act in critical situations. Running backs and receivers should be changed to rest their tired legs. At home we have 100 players suited up, so, why not use them. On the road use the entire squad. A college term is a short one so, a player must be given a chance to play.

Ben Jay is another UH official that should. Be terminated. Why. Because he doesn’t know what Baseball coach Mike Trapasso is doing to the program. The team has not been able to execute the bunt, hit and run, steal a base and in general unable to execute small ball to their advantage. Running of bases is atrocious. The runners are looking at the ball instead of the base coaches. We need a coach that can recruit local players and have a team that locals can be proud of.

It maybe true that Coach Chow should be considered to be on the chopping block, but it’s not all his fault for games lost. We need to have receivers who can catch balls, especially the ones that hit their hands/body then pops out. This starts the snowball affect, with so much 3 and outs the defensive have little time to rest. Many games we start strong then the defensive stays on the field too long and the other team starts to run away with points. Players start to get tired, pissed at what is happening then start making stupid mistakes, (penalties and such).
So the question should be what about the position coaches who cant get their players to perform as expected or to have discipline which starts the demise of our own faith?

I am not very much of a UH Football fan (follow UH women’s Vball religiously), but would donate $10.00 gladly to get a spread coach once again. GO BOWS!!!

What about Darnell Arceneaux for future QB coach, had a successful college career at Utah – All conference, and is doing a good job at Occidental College. Has local ties with ILH and OIA schools and HS coaches. Wondering if he was offered the job this year??

#34 As they say, Hawaii is just different; the people, the culture, the mentality, the pace. But one thing’s for sure, Hawaii loves football… if you win lol. The big sell on Chow was he was gonna change UH ball from a “gimmick” offense to his “pro style” with big linemen, solid rb’s, and pocket qb’s… He tried, just didn’t work. For the next coach whoever whenever that may be, hope he goes wide open. I just think small schools with limited resources (talent, size, speed) can benefit from these spread schemes which are no longer gimmick but proven successful… GO BOWS!!!

I don’t know why I feel so sad reading all of this. I feel for Norm Chow. Publicly being called old, retire him, fire him…do you think he is NOT doing his best. He has relationships with his players as was evidenced by their feeling of family when Diane Chow had an aneurysm. Why not a “we’re all in this together…we are an ohana…let’s support each other ” in the lean years as well as celebrating what we do well.
