Hawaii FB in turmoil

Did he interview all the backups?

[utgrizfan]

If Hawaii makes a coaching change they will have a tough time replacing him due to how scarce quality coaches seem to be this year

Hiring Graham was always going to end badly. I'm surprised it's taken this long.

Unlike some here, I'm no big fan of Nick Rolovich but if he'd agree to swallow his misplaced pride and get vaccinated, UH could do worse than bringing him back.

Graham is a tool.  The crewcut signature look is always a yellow flag for me.  Old school doesn't work all too often anymore.

 

Back the title of the thread;   isn't this an annual rehash?   Every Dec this just pops up.

The Graham hire always seemed odd to me.

 

However, this quote stood out: ““stop talking back or I’m going to take away your senior year.”

Yes, the player should probably not talk back. Playing time is something earned and maintained.

Bring back Rolo.

I’ve never been a fan of it.

He’s a douche. Lousy coach too.

So what's new?

Not good publicity for Hawaii on the mainland. Good luck recruiting with this guy as HC.

Could be disgruntled football players,

Yikes...doesn't sound good for UH. It's one thing to have players like you but your performance as a coach be affected by off-the-field issues (ala Gary Andersen) but when your issues are on the field and directly related to being good at your job, causing players to not support you, it takes things to another level. There's no "fixing" that.

Ohh there disgruntled alright….and speaking to anyone who will listen.  Btw, heard that Hunter is going to be a Spartan.

Yeah, more starters on into the portal after the bowl game from what I’m hearing.

UNLV might win the west next year . That would be the final straw for Nevada football haha.

Yikes!  And only 10 days until the first signing day.  Not a good look.

Quote

They recall different instances when Graham had openly discussed his aspirations to leave Hawaii for the NFL. “He basically kept telling us he’s using us as a stepping stone,” as one player put it.
