New DC & DB coach now could be selected as early as 2/12/15

[Mr.EDGE808]

I think I would rather have Rich Ellerson.

To work with CHOW? Pipe dream, you know, the 60ft cement pipe at a skateboard park?

I would be ok with Rich Ellerson. He is a good D coach and his system whould fit what UH did last year.

However, the guy I would want would be Kim McCloud. No idea if he would give up his current DC job to come to UH, but he is a proven young coach that would bring alot of energy.

Another name just for fun would be Travis LaBoy. Maybe he could be like a Jeff Ulbrich, and not need much coaching expierence before being named DC. Jeff was only in coaching for 3 years I believe before being names DC. Laboy was a great player and he seemed to have the energy to be a coach.

On another note, my vote for our new DB coach would be Abe Elimimian. He played for UH and has been a GA at SMU and WST. He just finshed his 1st year as DC for Simon Fraser University which I believe is DII. I believe he was also the DC for Crenshaw High School for a few years.

Or we could call this guy. He was Ellerson's co-defensive coordinator at Army.

I don't know why someone would give up a job for the uncertainty that is UH football. I suggested Ellerson because I don't believe he's coaching anywhere.

What's Brady Hoke up to these days?

Maybe down the road?

Hard to find someone good with a likely lame duck coach

Maybe someone looking for a HC job wanting to get his foot in the door.

$160k-200k for one season in Hawaii? Even under the most lame of lame duck statuses, that is still a lot of cheese.
I'm sure Chow will have no problem finding applicants.

[My3Cats]

One year of DC at an FBS school will still look good on anyone's resume.

Yup. Utah St must have liked what they saw in Clune.

If Daronte' Jones is interested, I would call him first! Quickly, before the ink dries (in Wisconsin).

Offer the max deal to him (for the position)...hope it's at least 250K with incentives for 3 years!

Defensive Coordinator/Associate Head Coach Daronte' Jones...sounds good to me!

Let him find his own DB coach too!

Chow seems to be the vindictive type. I don't have a good feeling Chow would take Jones back.

Interview begins tomorrow until a qualified person is selected.

Might come right in time for this weekends final visit and next weeks LOI day.
