Rich Miano hasn't done anything in the mainland because he doesn't want to. He has always said he bleeds Hawaii and wants to give back to Hawaii football ........or something to that
IT'S JUST A GAME!

NEW HEAD COACH

Post by amela »

What do you think if we just changed the head coach and keep the current assistants? I think they're doing a good job especially on the defensive side of the ball.

No just no. Rich will get the program into trouble just like how he did at Kaiser. And tbh, i wouldn't want rolo, the lee brothers, or any of the other previous assistant coaches. They need to start completely fresh. Maybe get Jeff Ulbrich whose the DC at UCLA?

I wanna clarify something. I don't think Miano is the right person now to turn around the program Hawaii is now. I think he was a great candidate to maintain and possibly further Hawaii after McMackin left. But unfortunately for him, I think the time has passed. It was a missed opportunity by the hiring committee, but as always they failed to see the good that could come with his hiring. And they failed to see the negative in hiring Chow.

What did Miano do wrong at Kaiser?

Not sure if Ulbrich is a good choice.

Great success at Kaiser, but complaints of unfair recruiting techniques. He put on a carnival under shaky circumstances, it seemed, and was gone from Kaiser right after that. I don't know if there was a problem at Kaiser or not.

I think Miano has great experience and knowledge of the game, and, in those respects is, IMHO, highly qualified to be given a chance as HC somewhere, including UH.

To me, however, there is something in his personality, as pointed out by Cabanalane, that seems a little edgy. He has a right to feel he was treated unfairly, but a "real" HC wouldn't let the bitterness show in his words or actions. Dick Tomey never showed a negative attitude.

Rich is not my first choice but I like his dedication to UH. He probably has a better network of coaches willing to come here and coach under him.

When he was Kaiser HC, there was a lot of dirty play by his players. During the Mack years, we had somewhat of a rep of being "dirty Hawaiians" because we would often do late hits mainly by the secondary which is what he most likely specialized in. Does Keenan Jones ring a bell?
I don't recall UH ever having more late hit calls than any other college football team.
The thing I remember about Miano in the NFL was he was the first one off the pile most of the time. Meaning, he was the last one piling on.

BUT, I would support him as a choice for "interim" head coach if need be. Then we could see how well he pulls together a coaching staff and program without a long term, binding contract.
I don't think Ben Jay will fire Chow in midseason because he would then have to give two people Head Coach pay - Chow and his replacement. If Chow is to be fired, it will be after the season is over.

We need an OC and some new position coaches - WR and QB, definitely.

Jeff Ulbrich probably makes more as a LB coach at UCLA than we can pay coordinators.

Of these I suggest Scott Frost, the Oregon OC. He will bring the innovative offense we want, comes from a winning program, and he is sitting behind the current HC Helfrich who will likely stay there for some time.
