What are you smoking? The roster is full of Chows recruits starting and in the depth chart on defense and offense this season. While, Woosley should keep the starting QB job, Higgins hasn't panned out. Sean Schroeder proved he was better than all Chows and Macks QB's. Woolsey and Higgins is in there 3rd season under Chow/Wynn QB guidance/development not Macks. In fact, all of Macks holdover are in the 3rd season under Chow development.SundayJam wrote:Where was the support for Mack, Aranda, Rolo, Miano...and many more very successful...and liked...coaches at Hawaii? Coach Chow was a bit of a former-home-town-nemesis kicking our butts as part of the Cougar/Trojan machine. Well, we pull the professor out of his machine and find out there's no heart for the cowardly lion, no brain for the tin man, and no...ahh never mind.BigWave96744 wrote:Question, if you are not happy with Chow now going to the Spread, would you have rather us stay in the vanilla Pro Offense?
Just wondering because I for one think this will be exciting times ahead this season.
Mix up Ewaliko, Anguay, St Juste, with the tall speedster on the outside or a TE at slot and the defense may be wondering WTH?
I stand supporting the Coaching Staff and Players.
Hold all the cards tightly under wrap until UDUB
We've been conned. Yes, it would be miraculous if we could salvage what is left of what June Jones and McMackin created. I would love to see the players June Jones inspired and McMackin recruited save this program. Would I credit Norm Chow? No. Since when are Norm Chow and Jordan Wynn experts of the spread? On defense we have an Aranda inspired coordinator. Wonderful foresight, Rainbow admins.
okay...go Bows. Feel the happiness and wonder.
Make no mistake, Chow did the right thing fired Kaumeyers okole for having a piss poor defense scheme that gave up 500+ yards and a boat load of points. I don't care if June Jones was calling the plays with a defense that was as bad as Hawaii has been he would have lost about the same amout of games. Hawaii was spreading it out last season with 4 WR sets pretty much every play and had plenty of 500+ yard games with a ton of points. But when your in the game until the end and the defense can't stop anybody your going to have to roll the dice take risk on offense to try to win the game.
I don't believe Chow is going back to the Mack/June/Rolo Run and Shoot Offense. So to say that Chow is going back to the previous coaches offense and the previous coaches recruits to win game would be disingenuous and manipulative. To say Chow is using a Spread Offense with a Tight End (that the RnS and Mack/Jones never had) that the NFL and most College programs are using would be more appropriate.
Chow got some thing done that Mack couldn't do, Chow lobbied and got the Hawaii Football team (To include Macks holdover recruits) Gary Beemer and the teams actually has a trainer year around for a change! This season will be the first full year the team has been training under Beemers guidance, so we will see how effective Beemer has been this season. I remember Macks teams being out of breath in games in Colorado and I haven't that seen that since. Chow got local boy studs like 4 Star Kennedy Tulimasaelii, Lakalaka, Wily and we all know Mack couldn't pull that off.
Do I think Mack's now Senior Class holdover recruits that been developed by Chow and his staff (Including Beemer this full year) for 3 seasons and survived the mass cutting from the team when Chow took over will be huge for the team. Of course, Joey, Yap, Samia, Harding and maybe Woolsey (lets see if he gets the jobs first)
Plus, its good to see Chow is adapting his offense to current standards and the type of players comming put of High School. Plus, Firing Kaumeyer and adding Clune should help the defense, hopefully! But we will see what results in year 3, but I still stick to 6 wins to a bowl game this season or Chow is done.
