Why the new HC should be hired by Jan. 23....AT LATEST....and was hired even earlier

[Irse]

Definitely NOT liking that....Roio has identified that Wazzu's immediate recruiting needs for the February 5 NLI Signing Day apparently are both DL and DB.....the same positions as UH's.

As such, I fully expect Rolo & Cvercko to target the same DL and DB prospects that they were originally targeting for UH for the February 5 NLI Signing Day.

I just hope that Matlin understands the time constraints (and the potential associated consequences) that he is facing in order to select a new HC in a timely manner. Otherwise, the new HC will be hamstrung from the get-go in order to sign good players for the remaining openings to secure a decent 2020 Signing Class....to address defensive recruiting needs to add quality depth to the DL and DB positions.

You would think that they could go after higher level guys and maybe those guys become their second choices.

I would think so too.....being that they are already on the mainland (with closer travel distances & time to recruiting areas).....plus recruiting for a Pac-12 school....but probably NOT given that they are also pressed with the limited available time crunch before the same February 5 NLI Signing Day.....as the new UH staff will be (but with even a later start).....so can get ahead start before the new UH staff....using the same research material that was originally gathered by them for UH.

TICK..TOCK....TICK..TOCK....TICK..TOCK.....

The Recruiting Contact Period starts today.....

…...so that UH can start recruiting some new players....like this one.....

Damn, and you thought Lucille picked a fine time to leave

Hopefully the new HC is hired in time to re-offer Cedric Byrd's former LBCC teammate and JC All-American DE/OLB D'Anthony Jones, to arrange a home visit and to schedule an official recruiting trip to UH.....since it would be sad to lose out to UNLV otherwise.....

That's not one of Kenny Rogers better songs....The Gambler is his best one ever IMO.

Sorry you all lost a good coach in Rolo. But coaching is a business.

Mike Leach is taking his Wazzu Offensive Coaches (WR, RB, OL; except for TE) along with the Special Teams & Strength Coaches with him to Mississippi State.....which could mean that Rolo might offer assistant coaching positions to Andre Allen, Brian Smith, Mark Weber, Michael Ghobrial, and Dwain Bradshaw.....at minimum....to follow him to Wazzu. SInce Leach is his own OC and QB Coach, Rolo could also offer Stutz as his QB Coach (since a TE Assistant Coach is not needed).

The Wazzu website lists the assistant coaches that Leach didn't take with him to Mississippi State.

Also , Rolo will probably assemble the majority of his new Wazzu coaching staff....offering some (if not all) of his UH assistant coaches....at latest by next week too....since Wazzu still has some available initial scholarship spots that also need to be filled on the February NLI Signing Date. As such, each UH assistant coach might be forced into making a quick decision by next week (or even sooner).....whether to follow Rolo to Wazzu…..or to take the risk of being selected as the new UH HC or even just to be retained by the new UH coaching staff as an assistant coach.

Weber now up at Pullman too.....with the others (Stutz, Smith, Cvercko, Ghobrial) that attended yesterday's press conference.....with Bradshaw likely soon to follow.....

Might not be one of Kenny's best.....but it's definitely one of Frank DeLima's signature songs.....

Even though QB prospect Parker Navarro tripped to UCF this past weekend (instead of to UH as was originally scheduled before Rolo left), hopefully he doesn't trip to North Texas (or anywhere else) beforehand....nor commit to UCF or North Texas nor accept ASU's blueshirt offer....before visiting UH either this coming weekend or the next....

Meanwhile another QB prospect Victor Gabalis….who already tripped to UH during this past season.....is also waiting to find out who the UH HC will be.....to see whether he still has a scholarship offer from UH....otherwise would probably accept the Wazzu PWO offer that he just got today....

Hopefully we can salvage this recruiting year. Just got to pick the right HC though but hope it doesn't take too long.

The hiring of Todd Graham as the new HC by mid-week will likely allow some potential recruits to take their official recruiting visits to UH this coming weekend....thanks to Coach Abe's proactive recruiting efforts on the mainland this week....

Hopefully we can land Danthony Jones more so than those QB's. Happy the guy is taking a 3rd trip and meeting with coach graham.
