More bad news regarding Kaiser Football: Rich Miano Out 4/2

[eonatoa]

Did you know that Ron and Cal were doing it (offseason training, double slot offense) at Kaiiser during the 70s and finally put together a Prep bowl championship team in 1979 with kids from all over the island. Cal and Ron left Kaiser and eventually ended up at Saint Louis to build their dynasty. How long did it take them (Cal and Ron) to win their first championship at Saintt Louis? And yes Sue is a wonderful lady that gave under previllage kids an opportunity for a better education. Mahalo Sue for everything. Coach Vinnie Passas is the man. I hope he stays at Saint Louis?

Let's see, coach Cal started his coaching career in 1971 with Willamette University as a GA. The college he and all his brothers played at. The year after in 1972 he started his high school coaching career as an assistant coach at St. Louis under his eldest brother Tommy who was the head coach. The following year he applied for the head coaching job at St. Louis after Tommy only was head coach for a season, than returned to Willamette University as an assistant coach. Cal applied to replace Tommy at Saint Louis. That same off-season, Ron, applied for the head coaching position at Kalani, where he was working as an assistant. Both agreed to join the other's staff if one got a head coaching job and the other didn't. By the time the season rolled around, both were leading their respective programs. Ron later took over the head coaching position at Kaiser, where Cal joined him as an assistant in 1973. Together, they led the Cougars to four consecutive Honolulu District titles and a Prep Bowl championship in 1979. This was the last year for both Ron and Cal at Kaiser.

So to answer your question it took 6 seasons at Kaiser to finally win the title. He than took a two year break from coaching and was hired as the head coach at St. Louis from 1982-2001 where he lead the Crusaders to 14 Prep Bowl tiles, 18 ILH titles, and a State Title in 1999.

In 2003 he then took the head coaching job in Hawaii's first professional arena football team, The Hawaiian Islanders.

From 2004-2011 he coached at the University of Hawaii.

Than in 2012-2013 he was the DC at Kalani.

Today 2014 he is once again the head coach at St. Louis High School.

Interesting read! Would love to read a biography of Cal's career!

Probably could have been if Miano and his staff stayed on board with Kaiser for the long haul, instead of bolting after only one season. Chad Ike played a huge influence on attracting very good athletes to the program. It was mentioned in the earlier posts.

Ok ok.... Enough already with this Kaiser bashing
They are having enough problems with their football program. They haven't picked a coach to replace Rich Miano yet. You would think they would hire one of the assistants but nothing has happend yet. I don't see why they are waiting so long they have some good varsity coaches over there and their JV had a good staff too. I don't understand what is going on over there. They lost Miano, Ikei and two division 1 prospects. (What else can happen? Miano and Ikei join forces with Ane & Torres and build the number 1 team in the nation?) even with the problems over there I think they will win enough games to make the playoffs. From there it's a toss up they'll give some teams a run for there money.

Supposedly, Punahou is after Miano to help run their carnival, recruit Maui, and be their spokesman against the transfer rule.
