New defensive coordinator- Victor Santa Cruz

[RedZone]

Congrats. I remember him playing but don't know much about his coaching philosophies.

Just don’t look at last season’s schedule.

According to some who followed that program, they got poached pretty hard for talent or had a lot of transfers going to MAC and Sun Belt schools that really affected them before and during this past season.

Coach Wags once told me VSC would one day make a great D1 DC. Yet another great guy coming out of the Bob Wagner coaching tree

Probably getting a raise as assistant coaches earn only Grade 9: 40,045 - $63,759 annual

They'll have about 5 guys at the line of scrimmage 50% of the time.

I like that. Often I don't think UH put enough guys on the line.

Very tough to recruit to Azusa Paciic. The program only provides for approximately 35 full scholarships so they have to chop those up and give partials. Tuition, books, housing, food the total cost is about $30K per year so that eliminates a lot of possible partial scholarship athletes. If they have a GPA of 3.2 or higher that will help in that they can get them some additional academic money, but competing against state schools that have lower tuition and housing costs makes it pretty hard. Interestingly, Victor had hall of fame OL Jackie Slater on his coaching staff for about five years. Maybe he can talk Jackie into coming over and joining him

Nice to get someone who knows the islands plus is from California where some of the best recruiting is done...

Love this hiring and so far the Coaching Staff looks great!

Wonder who he is looking for the DL coach

[Palolo_2LA]

Where Ma'a? One of the best technically sound DL in state history. UH got deeper pockets than Mililani. At least I hope they do.
