2020 Expectations with Graham
Posted: Fri Jan 24, 2020 7:57 am
I'm starting this thread for curiosity's sake. We still need more information in terms of staff, but we know who Rolovich's successor is: Todd Graham. Graham is taking over a 10-5 team that won the West Division in 2019. Hawaii, however, will lose 11 starters including Cole McDonald, three key wide receivers, a long time starter in Matautia, and the entire starting defensive line (Williams, Se'ei, Hune, Akoteu).
Here is Graham's resume in year #1 of taking over a head coach:
Rice 7-6 (took over 1-10 team)
Tulsa 10-4 (took over 8-5 team)
Pittsburgh 6-6 (took over 8-5 team)
Arizona State 8-5 (took over 6-7 team)
With player personnel changes, staff changes, potential scheme changes, and the 2020 schedule below in mind: what are expectations for the 2020 season? Do fans expect the team to hit the ground running? Double-digit wins? Qualify for the Hawaii Bowl? A slight rebuild? I'm curious what you all are looking for in year #1 (so I know when it's okay to be mad or not mad )
