Well said, Maddog50. I continue to give what I can to Na Koa. Wish I could give more, but I still want to support the players and see the team be successful, in spite of “it” all.

The sky is falling and we’re all gonna die—no way. 5 games left overall it looks to be a possibility of winning 2 maybe 3. That is just a possibility no guarantee. The Aggies come to town with a vaunted defense and gaudy numbers….except that Wake Forest 2-6 and UNLV 2-6 had a total of essentially “0” rushing yards. One of the other victims was Idaho State. So what and who cares….but if everbody gets there head out of their collective rear-ends we have more than a chance. CSU is gonna be different I believe because JI returns to the line-up. So there undying optimism that is the way I choose to live. And I will continue to support the program thru Na Koa because my passion is such….Go Warriors!!!!

Coaches ultimately succeed by making good choices– good decisions exercising good judgment. Chow has made one bad decision after another. He turned away Aranda and Rolo– two up and coming coaches. Aranda is now at Wisconsin as DC (we finally hired a guy from Aranda’s staff as DC), and Rolo is at Nevada. And he hired in their place friends of his as pointed out– none of which succeeded and are now gone. He also turned down two good young coaches with Utah and BYU backgrounds (one from Kahuku and another with strong ties there)– they were upset they were not hired and told friends here that Chow was making a mistake on his staff. His decision not to run an offense that could use the talent we had at receiver and QB went badly and he has acknowledged that. He rejected a running QB for a pocket passer and now we are back to the running QB. Chow wasted two precious years with bad staff and a bad DC. He has yet to fix the bad decisions that still haunt him.

kev-1. Look at the situation back in 2012. Rolo had 1 season experience as an OC in the R & S. They had no prior relationship. Chow’s intention was to be HC and to call the plays from the field. He brought Lee out of retirement to be OC in name only. He said at the time he trusted Lee’s knowledge and his role would be Chow’s eye in the sky. He’d give Chow feedback on what he was observing from the coach’s box while Chow called the plays.

No sense going the 2013 debacle witrh Price.

As for this year I have always been critical of Chow for going with Wynn as de facto OC. Thought he should have hired an OC rather than a running backs coach.
I’ve been a broken record in the number of times called Chow out on that.

If we really think about it, what can we really expect with such youth and inexperience in coaching at key spots on the staff?

A lot of people are mentioning Chow’s arrogance. I think that is the clearest example of his arrogance right there. The fact that he thinks his experience is enough to carry a recent GA play caller, recent GA wide receiver coach, etc.

Seriously, take a look at our weaknesses this year … QB, play calling, and Wide Receiver. These position coaches? Wynn and Matthews. Both grossly inexperienced.

Look at our teams strengths … the running backs, oline, and defense. The coaches there have experience.

Nuff said.

cocobean … RE: Rolo’s development. Shouldn’t there have been just as much offensive wisdom for Chow to pass down to Rolo if he were kept here? I mean, the whole reason he was hired was because of his offensive mind and years of experience.

The fact is that Chow didn’t want to keep Rolo, which as 4 prong pointed out was his right as the new HC. There was no need for Chow to sugar coat it with a bs sincere excuse for not keeping him.

87. Actually Chris Ault is one coach who could turn things around here and he has done it on the cheap in the past for Nevada.
