Only watch when they're on national TV. Listen to the radio otherwise.

I've already cut my donations--nothing to do about whine about on various message boards at this point.

Keeping Chow would make us look cheap.

UH not cheap. They feed a lot of lawyers. They suck out 400 million from tax payers... get 500 million from other sources... and pay huge early retirement benefits to ADs, Chancellors, ex-Coaches, etc. AND, they keep keep increasing tuition to make that all happen!

Nothing.

Chow will be here another year, no way can UH afford to pay dead money to Chow and pay another HC at the same time.

Sorry people, you can put away all your head coaching nominees for another year.

If Chow comes back in 2015 and doesn't win two or more of the remaining games. They are planning to kill the program and downsize the Athletic's Department while putting the blame on the "fair-weather' fans.

Watch Oregon, Wisconsin, Notre Dame...and others play football. It has become impossible and pointless to watch the Rainblows play football. No, I don't think hiring Dino Babers would improve our lot any. The Bowling Green birdies not only got blown out in epic proportions by Wisconsin, but by the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers as well.

I will have to weigh my options whether to buy season tickets again or not. I may opt out of buying them if Chow stays. I might show my disapproval of UH for keeping him buy supporting other colleges that want athletics to be strong. Even though my native Razorbacks are struggling in conference the whole state fully supports their athletic programs. Arkansas University is not the state school. Arkansas State University is the state school. Maybe the athletic programs need a non-state college to be successful.

We need the fan base to get fired up. Bringing back the RNS would be a step in the right direction.

After another dismal season in 2014, AD Ben Jay has a discussion with HC Norm Chow and requires him to improve his offensive production by restructuring his Offensive coaching staff. He requires the Head Coach to hire a new OC and replacements at QB coach and WR coach in order to remain at UH.

Coach Chow, not being a quitter, reluctantly agrees and after some thought, acknowledges that his decision making in previous years has negatively affected the team's performance and decides to rectify them. He makes the decision to hire Nick Rolovich and bring him back home to become the OC and HC in training. Because of budgetary constraints, he hires a QB coach willing to work at an Assistant Coaches minimum base salary named Colt Brennan. He approves another applicant for WR coach, willing to work in Hawaii, again at minimum base salary named Craig Stutzmann.

With his newly formed Offensive coaching staff and his existing defensive staff, they improve the team's performance in 2015 with a spread offense, to a winning season of 7-6. In 2016, they improve to 9-4. In 2017, the Head Coach gracefully retires, and the University of Hawaii promotes the OC Rolovich to Head Coach. They then proceed to win the 2017 MWC Championship and begins the domination of the MWC for years to come. . .

NO. Just fire him already. Chow will have $750K in his pocket and retire. No need to feel sorry for him. Fire him then move on.

Haha...either you're high or you're drinking too much Kool-Aide...with NC at the helm, this ain't happening, sorry buddy. How many times has he ran it up the middle and he still can't even change that? You think he's gonna change his staff and coaching philosophies? Yeah right...

How about Chow as AD, and hire new football coach. I expect the hate, but I'd try for June Jones again. Or, offer Rolo, or though I doubt he'd come - offer Ken Niumatalolo
