Can we afford any of those people?

The problem lies with the powers-that-be that does the hiring; there should be some transparency in the selection and hiring process (as allowed by law) as taxpayer dollars are involved.

Yes it's good that he resigned, and we don't have to buy out his contract. Good riddance. Of course now it's another search to try to find the best coach we can get for the smallest amount of money we can afford.

I don't think he will be too expensive and he knows good people to hire for his staff. What do we have to lose at this point.

Rolo's QB (de Laura) when join the transfer portal merry-go-round, too.

Rolo already get the taste of $millions per year and Miano stay set in his gigs (but only the shadow knows). Yoro stay interim head coach for now so we see (maybe Cal Lee might be in the running, LOL) the candidates that stay interested. Opinion: got to be somebody flexible and knowledgeable in playing to the players' strengths; not one hard-headed old fut who only know one formation.

I think easy for find somebody taking sports bets (including parlays); work, KB (some are betting hubs), friends, acquaintances, etc. Online and / or offshore books may be another option.

Well now, Hawaii should have a minority female coach get plenty politically correct choices winning no matter just have mental health as a priority not winning. Simone and Osaka are prime candidates, LOL.

By chance Hawaii will get to root cause of persistent failures with football program. Its not just President or AD--if it was, we would have systemic failures throughout the University. Sad to see myopic grandstanding law makers quick to lay blame to easy targets but no thought into what we really need to fix--look in the mirror first. This goes far beyond the University leadership.

Why not hire rolo afterall might be able to get him at a discount because he obviously doesn't value money or has very strong anti vax beliefs and maybe structure contract to where he gets paid for away games only for vax reasons or whatever but he was a decent coach when he was here except for the fact he didn't recruit Marcus Mariota before Oregon got a glimpse of him when rolo was QB coach or offense coordinator so who else is in line for the job, but maybe Rich Miano name comes up again.

I just don't get it not like Graham is a winner but I guess this is UH that's why they will Never be a big time bowl team again. Another thing isn't bowl games suppose to be reward for winning teams? The NCAA has made these bowl games like any other game nothing special Hawaii didn't deserve to go to a bowl game this year and other losing teams shouldn't be there either.

Buyout $$.
