Keep the faith and Let Christ be the Center of all your circumstances, Ryan!

Funny how the McMackin haters twist even the Mike Leach debacle into an attack on Mack.

While Mack was at Texas Tech, he was recognized for being a great recruiter. He left Texas Tech for better paying jobs at the pro level, and did a great job as a coach of pro defenses.

Idaho showed today the value of giving a coach time to get his staff and system in place and to develop the athletes needed to make the system work.

I think that we are going to turn the corner next year, the way that Idaho turned the corner this year. To me the best sign is that our guys worked hard and never gave up this year, even when they were getting clobbered. That is a sign to me that they had not lost faith in the coaches or their team mates.

Our coaches overcame great adversity the last two years. They showed that they could develop three quarterbacks who can run the R&S with success. The offense showed flashes of being what they had been in the glory years of Colt; they also showed that they were still a work in progress at other times. The defense really struggled, but rose to the occaison for the Navy game. I find great hope in all of that.

Finally, the idea that the UH football coaching job is some wonderful opportunity that Mainland coaches are despreately seeking is deluded.

The people who have made Hawaii teams competitors are guys like Dave Shoji, Vince Goo, Les Murakami, and Riley Wallace, coaches who love and understand Hawaii and wanted to stay here. Mack fits right in with them. He deserves the chance to build the program without all this hostile demand for instant gratification.

Thanks for opportunity to vent!

Go Vandals!! Go Warriors!! Go Bows!!

Always a pleasure to hear and recognize you ! Have a Happy New Year !
