who left the staff after the 2000 season? I can't remember... Mack left in '99, Lempa in '02 or '03, Mcknight left at some point... Cal Lee joined in '00 or '01 and Helton was a GA in charge of special teams at some point... but Lumpkin, Morrison, Ron Lee, Cav, Suan, Singletary, Miano were all there from the beginning to the end of the JJ era. Not trying to argue with you - just trying to remember who left...

Now with year 2 winding down, does Rolo have it in him to clean house on both scholie players and coaches?

Why should fans go to the games knowing that the team has the same coaching staff from last year? I'm sorry but I have no faith in this coaching staff. All I see is a bunch of ex Hawaii players acting like coaches. It doesn't help that they run a monkey offense. there are plenty of qualified coaches that will take a pay cut to coach at Hawaii. Please Rolo. Do something now or the remaining fans will leave for good.

Many players were not renewed and recommended they transfer by June, Mack, Chow. And it goes the same for other schools when a new coach takes the helm. Not being brutal, just the nature of the beast.

As far as coaches, Mack didn't bring back Tommy Lee after 1 season and didn't retain fan favorite Reinbold

So far, it's only been 2 recruiting seasons, the first being hampered by "cleaning house" from the previous group of coaches. Without stability within the coaching team, we'll never get better. That's 50 of the 85 available scholarships, probably less has he kept some to give to previous walkons. Half or more of the high school recruits are red shirts, gray shirts, or freshmen who got thrown into the pit before they were 'really' ready for D1 football out of necessity. Injuries to the first team really took their toll on the team and schemes. Hopefully, next season, they will have more depth to let the injured rest and recuperate better.

It sure doesn’t seem like any of the coaching staff will be terminated. There are few coaches recruiting now but maybe the ones that aren’t out recruiting are back here being evaluated by Rolo. I guess we’ll find out in a weeks time or so.
