Re JJ: It’s my recollection that he came to Hawaii because of the atmosphere of the community. His wife (at the time) was undergoing or had completed cancer treatment and he felt Hawaii was the place to be while she recuperated. Two years later…divorced and ex-wife moves back to Oregon. In spite of going to the Sugar Bowl, I never felt JJ did anything good for Hawaii football. Look, four years later, what a mess we’re in now. Even Timmy Chang’s records didn’t last that long. I for one, don’t want to see him back. Look at his recruiting record, weren’t most of the outstanding performers during his tenure walk-ons?

Re Tomey: I also recall that after going to the Rose Bowl while he was at Arizona, he got a raise and the year after that, Arizona fired him. Bowl game, pay raise…one year later, fired. I remember his mantra, it’s so hard to have winning seasons. 7-6 seasons just don’t hack it.

Re Miano: 13 years on staff without being wooed away because of his talent by other schools, it’s like Nash sitting on the bench for 20 years and expecting to have a better record than his predecessor’s (barely .500). People aren’t chameleons and can’t change themselves in a blinki of an eye. Not even long term. They are what they are.

In my opinion, if you fire the coach and continue to do the same thing all over again (RnS) and expect to have success with the same staff, that’s the definition of being crazy. The Head Coach is fired, then CLEAN HOUSE. That’s the athletics director’s job. Get it? DIRECTOR!

I thought Glanville said he was here for June. And then he left. I wonder how Rockne would do as a head coach.

I’d just like a Head Coach that will let Rolo do his thing without any restraints. If Rolo became HC it would divert some of that energy and focus. There were many who complained there was no “vertical” game. How the heck can you get a vertical game or enable the QB to go through his progressions if you only have 1 to 3 seconds to get rid of the ball? What hand-cuffed Rolo was that inconsistent protection on the O-Line. What hurt was losing Austin Hansen for the season. He would’ve shored up that leaky Tackle spot. In any case, the young, inexperienced / red-shirted guys have a lot of talent, but have to step-up in a hurry. If they do, This Offense will become deadly again. Agree with others that the lack of consistent wrap-up tackling was a concern that needs to be addressed. Hope John Hardy-Tuliau becomes the starter at Corner opposite Mike Edwards; that should go a long way toward shoring up a key part of the secondary.

I am not impressed at all with the list of canidates. They should not hire someone with June Jones ties. They need someoone to instill new blood into the program. Coach Miano I think would be a step back for the program. If he haf all of these ideas before why didnt he use them. He is a good coach but he should not be our hc. Glanville also would not be good, he couldnt win at Portland state. None of the other canidates bring any excitement to the program—- We can do better

Like most everyone in the State, the leaders in Manoa are very conscious of the budget (btw, there’s a very interesting meaning to that word related to the early settlers who used the Oregon Trail).

I would imagine that a big consideration for both committees will be if The Price is Right.

One of the benefits of Miano’s positive presence is to reassure the prospects as much as possible.
