DAVE MATLIN select as AD

[xer 21]

anyone who votes for mcnamara should get a temp ban.

Mufi would put a local face on the program(s). Neil and June are too old.

Isn't BJ one those type of folks that is granted local status upon arrival?

And Mufi lost the election because he had to remind us that he looked like us.

Perhaps you are joking. But the face of the program is the last thing we need to worry about.

In a radio interview awhile ago Bob Wagner said that he thinks that an AD should have football experience.

Agree. I love Dave and Riley and all but, not as our AD.

We need someone strong like Mufi. He'd be unafraid to make decisions to get things done. But Upper Campus wants someone weak and controlable, like a BJ clone.

[My3Cats]

Blangiardi and Amemiya would be great as AD, but the big question is, would they be willing to take probable huge pay cuts from their current jobs to take this job and become someone else's puppet on a string?

[Sweet Lei Mokihana]

Won't matter who gets hired as AD until the hive-mind up at UH get their heads out of their okoles and start working together efficiently toward a common goal, whatever that goal may be.

That's why I chose Mufi. We need someone strong enough to lead, not just someone that just follows bad leadership down the same wrong path.

LOL....are you saying that with a straight face??!

I think Amemiya or Blangiardi would do a great job.

[Haynr8dr]

Who ever it is will be asked to make bricks without straws.

Anyone that's been paying attention noticed that the UH was begging the Legislature for millions yesterday for UH athletics.

Social media immediately followed up on the report, and it was my perception that the majority of the responses were in anger over the prospect of those tax-dollars going towards UH athletics while so many other State-run services are suffering.

I'm sure both Amemiya and Blangiardi would do great jobs as well but they're already gainfully employed. Mufi is strong willed. So much so, he may not be what B-V wants in an AD. He is not a Ben Jay clone.

[shokee]

Mufi is a huge fan.
He played collegiate Bball, used to host the summer youth basketball jam and worked with the NFL for the Pro Bowl.

Small kine joking but if he was the AD Maybe he could somehow work with the government to get "His Rail" to run from Kapolei to Manoa and thus connecting the 2 campuses and eventually having an onsite stadium out in Kapolei

What happened to my Abercrombie suggestion? We need someone with UH background who thinks they are higher up than anyone there, BOR included, to put the fix on the entire system... top down, bottom up. Because until that's done, nothing will change at lower campus. None of the above can accomplish that.

Heck... Might as well nominate Obama for AD... "Hawaii's Favorite Son" right?

OBAMA for AD!! also Biden for assistant AD!!(someone to blame when it doesn't workout)

GO WARRIORS!!

In the paper today.

Fact is athletics receives less than 1 percent of the general funds bestowed upon the university. Much of that for lower campus janitorial services, landscaping and some administration.

In the leagues UH competes in, its outside support is either at the very bottom or within shouting distance of it. This while it faces higher costs due to its geography.

Athletics receives none of the proceeds from parking for athletic events on its own campus. Nor does it share in the millions in advertising signage or concessions revenue from its games at Aloha Stadium, where it is the marquee tenant. Though it is charged for stadium clean-up.

Whoever takes the job can't succeed.

And I predict, the next AD is not on the listing of this thread.....the next AD will shock us all, and comes out of left field.....

[FishstickBoy]

I think the only way things can improve is if we get a new BOR. But every smart person here knows that!!!

+1000. Time for BV to trim the fat.

[pumpfake]

Poor BJ couldn't get what he wanted for UH athletics by snapping his fingers like he did at Ohio St. God bless him for trying. Maybe the next AD will come from a program that successfully fixes things with duct tape.

I hear that Blangiardi would take it in a heartbeat...
