Tommy Lee to retire

Happy Post Merry Christmas and thank you Coach Lee.

al, know your Christmas dinnah was suppah, but did you leave enough for Santa??

Good Luck Tommy Lee!

Will Coach Chow hire a new OC or will he just hire a WR coach?

Any word on Daronte Jones staying or leaving?

Good morning, Tsaikos!

Mahalo to Coach Lee. Enjoy your 2nd retirement.

Hi Ho…

Good Morning Folks!

Hope all enjoyed their Christmas!

Best wishes to Coach Lee for a happy retirement!

Have a great day everyone! Hi ho!…

GOOD MORNING HAWAII!

Best wishes to Coach Lee.

On to the Mall?

Mahalo Coach Lee for your contribution, blessings to you and your ohana 🙂

My best to coach Lee.

Aloha coach Lee: Even in retirement, I know you will forever be a Warrior mentor for life!

BBL ~ I have to work on compliance. I’ve been warned twice already to share my toys and it’s not even 07:30 yet!

I had the honor of meeting and talking story with Coach Lee, and yes, he is definitely a good man with tons of Aloha spirit.

Good luck coach Lee, Mahalo, and ALOOOOOOHA!!

Great Morning All! A Merry 2nd Day of Christmas….

let the speculation begin on who will replace Coach Lee!!!!!!!!

On to New Years prep work…..

Have a terrific day erryboddy!

You guys think Rolo would come back? He seems quite happy where he’s at.

Besides he already put an “X” of Rolo Candies on the H.

Mahalo to Tommy!

Now that Tommy’s re-retirement is official, I’m hoping that Coach can find a way to officially place former Warrior great (and 8-year NFL vet) Ashley Lelie on the staff as the WR coach…..to expand on what’s he’s already doing with the Warrior receivers…..currently as an intern.

Ashley would be great asset for recruiting…..both locally and on mainland…..as a former local HS product and walk-on….who earned a full scholie as a starter….and became the go-to star receiver…..who then got picked in the 1st Round of the NFL Draft (19th overall selection)….and played 8 full seasons in the NFL…..with the experience and knowledge of multiple offensive sets…..having played in Norm’s Pro Set offense…..as well as JJ’s R&S offense. Ashley was already in the booth on game days assisting Tommy last season.

Hopefully Coach can find a way to get some of these Kahuku athletes (CB/P Jayven Mohetau, RB/S Devailo Motuga-Galeai, LB Matai Paselio, WR/CB/S Lasselle Thompson) to somehow join the UH program……possibly as greyshirts or invited walk-ons.

i have to believe that chow has someone lined up to assume the position.

Good morning Tsaikos!!!

Hope all have a good one today!!!

Best wishes to Coach Lee.

😎 nice day with sun spreading its warmth. was it just me or was it cold last night?

howzit to all the tsaiko’s and tsaikette’s in the 808 and those across da pond 😉

may yu’all recover from feast #1 and make ready for #2 in a couple of day. 🙄 BEEG reminder stay safe at all times. like see you face in 2013

Happy Holidays to all. Hope you are working off or recovering all of the goodies consumed yesterday :-).

Unconfirmed reports coming out that new Colorado head coach Mike MacIntyre will not be retaining any of the 12 assistant coaches from Jon Embree’s staff. That group also includes linebackers coach Brian Cabral, who has served for some 20 something years at CU under 5 different HCs. Given the nature of college coaching, all good things eventually come to an end.

Decisions, decisions:

what position(s) to advertise? OC? Receivers coach?

It would be extrodinary, but what if Chow goes back upstairs and call all the Offensive plays and has multiple lines to all the coaches so he can tell them what he sees; especially the defense. The US military, especially the Army and Marines, wherein the “Commander” is in a strategic spot to see the “battle field” and relays instructions to his “line commanders” and what to do. Yea, yea, I know it sounds like my suggestion where the OL “attacks” the DL rather than back pedalling on pass plays – but, what the hay, why not????

What is it about HC and/or OC at all levels that like to call consecutive running plays up the middle when inside the 5 yard line for a TD? must it be smash-mouth ball? America is known for “bigger is better” syndrome.

Until, international car companies began the initial push for “smaller vehicles” – then USA jumped on the wagon.

ST… You’re 100% correct.

Much like Rolovich at Reno. He’s OC in title but Chris Ault runs the offense. Doubtful Ault would let Rolo tweak his pistol offense after seeing Rolo tweak the run n shoot into mediocrity.

On a side note, did anybody notice June Jones completely out coach and out-plan Deruyter during the Hawaii Bowl?? SMU got two late defensive TDs to blow the game open but JJ mixed up his play calling to score on Fresno.

Who knew a June Jones offense could produce a 4,000+yd running back (w/ 3 straight 1,200+yd seasons)??? Zach Line also tied Eric Dickerson’s career rush TD total. Wow. Great coaches always adjust their scheme for their personnel.

Again, SMU (like Auburn v Oregon; Georgia v UH) proves that the key to shutting down the spread offense is the d-line.

Nick Fairly of Auburn broke down Oregon in the BCS game in 2010… Georgia’s DEs dominated Brennan &co in Sugar Bowl… Margus Hunt single handily broke down Fresno… Stanford shut down Oregon this year with their D-line.

tommui and everyone I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Planes late in and out of LA. Lucky we landed in Hawaii for Christmas. But it was a great day on the Big Island. Heading over next week to go see the dorm redecorating ( I can only imagine ) visit the Coach, of course we need new clothes for school. And of course the big celebration for getting 4.0 GPA this semester. Life is pretty good. And our other boy proposed on Christmas Eve…so now we have a wedding to look forward to. Life is good.

Sorry to see Coach Lee go. But family is so important. Hard when kids are across the country.

GO WARRIORS!

Buona notte!

1) Thanks for you strong job.

@Former UH Athlete

I thought I read that Coach Rolo was/is handcuffed at UH and UNR. What tweaks did he do at UH to make them mediocre? Please refresh my memory and re-enlighten me since I have difficulty recalling events nowadays.

Good morning everyone!

Mahalo and best wished for Coach Tommy Lee!

Ahhhh, the world is looking better today with the Warrior Beat back on! 😀

The weather is great and so is life in the aina. So many things to look forward to in 2013!

BG

Mahalo, Coach Lee.

Happy Kwanzaa… !

Hiho!

so how many of you kept coming back to the warrior beat these past 36 hours

…just to see if a big time commit would be announced?

Thank you Coach Lee.

@al

I’m not that anxious since all recruits who choose to become Warriors are big time commits in my book.

(#46 Former UH Athlete)

Normally I appreciate and enjoy your postings, however, this morning, well you showed something.

For this instance, you are clueless, almost to the point of ignorant regarding Nick Rolovich.

Running the R-N-S to mediocrity?

Wow, what a joke.

Check the numbers my friend, do a little homework, and that’s despite a head coach that was more in the way than part of the solution.

C’mon brother, you’re much better than that. I know it, I’ve seen it, I’ve read it before.

al – #60 – only a couple times

Agree with # 46. JJ is an unbelievable coach, a real genius. He out coached DeRuyter. We need him back at Hawaii.

#51 re the fraternity. You are right. My son’s friend is in the fraternity and he had to go through really rigorous initiation for one year to see if he was serious. He is not an athlete, but he stuck it out, proved himself and became a member. Most people drop out. Once you are in, you are a brother for life and the members help each other get jobs, pull strings, etc. When you are in a city, you call up the brother who is in that city and he will help you. It is a real brotherhood, unlike any fraternity that I know of.

Al,

Any chance that Hawaii can land a few more good ones? What you think?

The State Central committee met and decided on 3 candidates.

Congratulations to all those who applied. It was a really tough decision for us but it is finally done.

The Govenor is now the ball carrier.

i like rolo. but i also know that

stutsman has been paying his dues on the mainland. i believe he is at memphis.

a house… that was a long time ago.

Bleed Green and White, last week you called me negative and not in the know when I said Ault is the reason behind Nevada’s offense, not Rolo.

Today you call Former Athlete clueless and his comments on Rolo ignorant?

I’m curious to your ties and inside knowledge to the Mack regime, especially your man love for Rolo.

shoots, sorry bigwave. forgot to ask. is stutz OC at his current school?

Hello my friend! I want to say that this article is amazing, nice written and include almost all vital infos. I would like to see extra posts like this .

I’d say our biggest recruiting weekend will be when the Florida contingent checks out Manoa….If we can land a few of those Fla Speed athletes and keep our big commits like KT then I will be a happy camper…

gesser

arceneaux

stutz

all st. louis boys, all good picks. i think UH needs some college coaching experience.

gesser

stutz

i would be ok with either.

ST I am sure you know about this site that will filter out spam from blogs..just wanted all to know..if you have a blog..they have free accounts n sum as low as 5 bucks a month..

check it out…https://akismet.com/signup/

Be nice if we did not have to read some of the opala on here from time to time..

Happy NEW YEAR EVERYONE..

Arceneaux please!!!!!Character???????

Wasn’t he up at manoa this yr for short

time,then he left?

Come on Uh rainbow warriors lets

get it together !!! Lets go Gib.Imua!!!!!

@55 wowlaulau

think is right, maybe think outside the box! ault may have hired him but what was the difference from Nevada’s offense last year and Nevada’s offense this year…….you sooooo smart, Nevada rushed for more yards this year than last year and passed for more yards in 2011 while rushing for less……sure hiring a Run and Shoot coordinator that actually had a say in the play calling would produce those results……..YOU THINK!!! SHEEESH!

Bring in this former NFL QB to be Norm’s Eye in the Sky

http://sportshawaii.com/sh/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=43747

Schatz is the one. He will be the senior senator from Hawaii. Come 2014 elections, will he remain as the senior senator? I don’t think so. And now we lose 2 years seniority for one senator. Aiyah.

Back to sports…

This is really fascinating, You’re an excessively professional blogger. I’ve joined your feed and sit up for in quest of extra of your wonderful post. Also, I’ve shared your website in my social networks

Congrats Max Unger! HPA grad named starting NFC Pro Bowl center for 2013!

Is this the Big Island player that June Jones tried to recruit to Hawaii & move from OL to DL? If my memory is correct JJ made a comment after a recruit commited to Oregon as an offensive lineman. He said this recruit was throwing his future away if he stayed on the offensive side and that future success was on the D-Line. Anyone out there remember this? If not Max, who was it?

WOWlaulau

Think! You’re right i shouldn’t ASSume you are a thinker, saying that Ault hired him to do nothing but be a position coach and give him the OC title, great QB coach, but we’ll never know how good an OC he will be until he is given the reins to an offense with all decision making for the offense in his hands……..I think he would be great, I think he’s a great coach, I hope his last year at UH as OC was not a reflection of his Offensive Coordinator abilities, Don’t think he got his fair chance yet……..as an OC.

tommui #99

Tom, I told Kekoa that Hanabusa was a shoo-in…and I was confident that June Jones would never come to Hawaii. Moral of the story…on any of my picks, bet your house on the other horse!

Should Hanabusa run in 2014, I believe that a tremendous backlash against Abercrombie/Schatz will get her in. Many will view the selection of Schatz as a direct slap to Inouye (logic will not play a role here) and will act accordingly at the polls. I believe Abercrombie has made a serious mis-calculation in evaluating how deep the support for Inouye runs. That’s as much as I will say about politics until 2013. Life’s too short.

BG

BG, #104

Sorry, but I don’t think so. 2 years is a long ways away.

Maybe and = Maybe an

damn auto type fingers.

@BG

Would sure like to hear Abercrombie’s reasoning, besides being younger.

@iwonderwhytheyhateme

Thanks.

I showed some friends and family Schatz photo and they said “who dat”? Gave them the name and they said “who”.

For real now back to sports.

Abercrombie will LEARN that you never honor a guy by denying him his “last wish.” People in Hawaii don’t forget that kind of thing and the “bachi” is already in place for Abercrombie not being reelected and Schatz being replaced in 2014…Dat’s just not the “local way”.

Pretty element of content. I simply stumbled upon your site and in accession capital to say that I acquire actually enjoyed account your blog posts. Any way I will be subscribing to your feeds and even I achievement you get admission to constantly fast.

Lingle. The best joke ever.

Senator Schatz, please don’t miss any votes, and yes Linda, “We Do Know You”. Hehe

I have been surfing on-line greater than 3 hours today, but I by no means discovered any interesting article like yours. It’s beautiful worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web can be much more useful than ever before.

Thought I would respond to you with a sock puppet since that is what you like to do ….

Attractive element of content. I simply stumbled upon your site and in accession capital to assert that I acquire actually loved account your weblog posts. Anyway I’ll be subscribing on your augment and even I fulfillment you get entry to constantly fast.

Interesting to see if Sen Tsutsui will take the Lt Gov position.

OK Boys, time to Chillax! we wouldn’t want ST to have to rename blog the Warrior Beef! Hehe.

Nytal!

a house…my reply was in reference to ekuale. he’s a solid commit. that Oregon stuff is history. you’re info is dated.

the kahuku boys are solid like a rock. in fact, we are in line for another one.

tommui…do you think that if abercrombie had one more election left in his career, would he have shunned senator dan’s request?

For the conspiracy theorists.

The Punahou mafia strikes again.

Excellent post. I was checking continuously this blog and I am inspired! Extremely useful info specially the last part 🙂 I handle such information much. I used to be seeking this particular info for a very long time. Thank you and best of luck.

#69 no UH recruit will turn down a scholarship offer from Oregon or USC. These guys might love UH, but they’re not dumb.

Well.. maybe in football and basketball.

A Grease needs to chill. A Grease doesn’t really want to insult all us old guys does he?

:blank:

Re# 135

Anyone whose heart is set on UH and accepts an offer from usc or oregon instead IS dumb and/or IS getting bad advice. You can only sell your soul the first time once.

Just thought id let you understand and keep up the great work some genuinely howling work on behalf of the owner of this site,dead outstanding written content

I have some dates for October through January of rocket attacks and mortar attacks at Bien Hoa.

Great!!

I read your post brother, and to that I respond.

It’s not a “man crush” on Rolo as you call it, instead a “man crush” on the system and it’s results. Period.

If the average fan knew half the crap that I know, and I’m sure Mr. Tsai knows much, much more, they would MARVEL at the success of the UH Football program under Greg McMackin, DESPITE Greg McMackin.

Not to be ugly or anything, but the truth is the truth, Mack was a horrible head coach, too selfish and self-absorbed to let his coaches coach. Like Dave Aranda and Nick Rolovich for instance.

Personally speaking, I do know Nick Rolovich, as a person before I do as a a coach. The guy loves Hawaii, loves football, and desires that all UH Warriors take away with them the same type of life-long memories he got take when his playing time was over.

The kids that played for him at UH, they have much respect and aloha for him. If you ever get a chance, go ask a few, then you will know.

His knowledge of the offense is top notched. Period.

Imagine, 5,000+ yards and what, 39 touchdowns by Bryant Moniz that one season, now imagine how crazy those numbers could’ve gotten had Mack not been the “bubblin’ idiot” of a head guy to get his own way…..to step on his own feet, to impede progress, to well, get in the dam way!!!!!

Okay, I grant you this BigWave, some of my words may make the picture look really ugly back then, truth of the matter is, it was. Do I believe Rolo would make a great addition at UH once again…? Yes! very much so.

Chow’s disciplined ways, which I love by the way, and Rolo’s creative approach….hmmmmm

It’ a little “outside the box” so to speak, but I could see that working. Don’t think I’ll see it happen, but I do see it working……

As for Craig Stutzmann, who was at Idaho St, Rhodes College, currently at Weber St

He has a better chance going to SMU with JJ and TC and expand on R&S.
