SA news article this morning says “UH fires Manoa Chancellor Apple” … are hires him as a tenured faculty with an annual salary of $299,000. Considering that he had a performance clause in his contract, it sure seems like the taxpayers are the ones getting the boot.

“University of Hawaii at Manoa Chancellor Tom Apple says he was forced out as head of the UH system’s flagship campus Wednesday, two years into his five-year appointment.

Apple said he was removed “for alleged unsatisfactory performance” in his job.”

“Apple was hired in May 2012 at a $439,008 annual salary under former UH President M.R.C. Greenwood, who recommended he be appointed to a five-year term through June 30, 2017, “subject each year to successful annual performance evaluations at the level of satisfactory or above.”

Sad to hear about kirkwood.

Question: why didn’t he leave sooner to get better adjusted to his new school? Regardless of the redshirt requirement, it would seem in his best interest to have been working out with his new teammates.

Unless, is kirkwood leaving football in entirety? Too bad, he had a chance to be really good here. Way better than Trevor Davis who ended up at Cal; and finally appears ready to play this year.

Ohh well, once a warrior..

No forget Haynes at WR. Showed flashes.. I think he’ll be better than Gant, who was our best threat game-in-game-out last year. I’m looking for Kemp to step up or step out as the true freshmen look poised to give the veterans some rubs. Harding is steady, however lacks breakaway explosiveness and and/or height. I’m also expecting a lot from Pedroza, as it appears like he’s playing with something to prove. Lastly, I’ll never forget how I thought, “who is that #8?” when Ashley Lelie first broke out, so who knows if a Bukowski, Sayles or Anguay can do the same?

Wishful thinking but if we’re going to run the read-option/spread, Ewaliko sounds like an extremely attractive ‘option’ at QB. Few are faster and more explosive combined with better accuracy, but wth do I know? We had better figure out a way to get the ball in his hands though as he didn’t look natural while moonlighting at safety. Frankly returning kicks sounds like a no brainer to me.. Unless, his hands are suspect which could also explain why we haven’t seen the staff try him in the slot as yet.

I decided to renew my Na Koa membership, and will still honor my pledge from last year of doubling it if the team goes at least 3 and 3 through the first 6 games.
