My take if he doesn't get moved into a coaching position is that he will be groomed by Todd Graham for an assistant or head coaching job in the near future.

If he stays with UH next season, more responsibility all depends on who else stays and who goes from the coaching staff?

With Josh Omura leaving, will responsibilities be restructured to allow Kim to get involved in the coaching aspect?

This would make a lot of sense to fit him into the coaching staff. A whole lotta D1 experience there.

Wow, that's a surprise. Laiu seemed to be doing well recruiting and was the only Poly on the coaching staff. But Kim McCloud is definitely more experienced. It is great to have had him in the bullpen as a quality control coach.

I hope that Coach Laiu is okay since the reporting will not identify his reason. But best of luck to Coach McCloud. Always a Warrior!

Curious to see how coaching shuffle will work out this season.
Not doubting, not hating, not loving, just hoping because I am a fan.

Wonder if he didn't want to get vaccinated? 🤔

Anyway I love that McCloud is getting this promotion. Guy has tons of experience and was a great DB back in his playing days at Manoa.
