I don't think there will be one until next week. I think interim coaches are named if someone leaves or get fired mid season. But I could be wrong.

For new head coaches, UH is bound by the union to give 5 days before hiring. Used to be 10 day :o

My 2 cents...First of all congrats to Coach Rolo...I would like to see who all is interested in the HC position. I am open to hiring someone from the outside it it makes sense, even if it's for a short few years. IMHO UH will never be able to compete financially with P5 schools, let alone many mid major schools. With that said, it appears that UH will always be a stepping stone for bigger and better opportunities. But to me that is OK, because that means UH, as a football program, is doing well if other schools want to poach the HC.

I would hire Jeff Ulbrich for HC, and if Stutz and Smith leave, maybe grab Tim Chang for OC.

Depending on who leaves with Rolo, if in house for continuity is a must, at least for 1 season only, I wouldn't mind giving coach Banker the helm.

I don't really think the Admins at UH know much about football. So we can't assume they will think like fans.

We may think everything is great, and Rolo left the program in a good position (true).

But the decision will be looked at from a different view. Attendance is still down. And can we say still sliding down. This "style" of football is not working.

The numbers are not supporting anything the fans say. Where is the money? To "do the same thing" is not going to get different results. When they make the decision, they have to justify it.

Looks as though both Brian Smith and Craig Stutzmann…..along with Jason Cvercko…..are joining Rolo at Wazzu…..

Makes sense for Rolo to bring them both…...since he was hired by Wazzu primarily because of the RnS offense....

Since it looks like they are leaving UH, my bet is on Ivan Jasper.

Rebuild.

True, Ivan Jasper was probably next for the Navy job, when there was interest for Kenny Niumatalolo to take the ND job.

They are both about the same age, which means, Ivan Jasper got a long wait - to be HC at Navy.

Maybe Ivan Jasper is a forever assistant coach type of guy. I don't know.

Hawaii may be Ivan Jasper's best chance at a HC job. He is at his coaching prime (age 50). Old enough with experience. And still young enough to still be coaching 10-15-20 years.

We all still know who Jasper is. And recall the magic of the Bob Wagner era.

Triple Option FTW.

Banker is close with former Rainbow Warrior and seasoned defensive line coach Joe Seumalo

Banker also recruited Turner, Hunter, and Soliai-Howlett for the Early Signing.

Virginia OC (and former BYU OC) Robert Anae? Hmmm.....

If this were to happen, then you can bet that former BYU and Kahuku HS RB Mark Atuaia will become the new RB assistant coach.

Banker has a lot of experience, but I'd wonder what his outlook as a HC is like. Wouldn't like a longtime assistant in the mold of Norm Chow or Bob Nash who never really prepared himself for the role that a head coach has to play.
