I'm sure Hawaii will get whomever they want given the roll they're on.

: The various pleas here and elsewhere -- well,
: there's certainly nothing wrong at all with
: them but I hope the writers of such realize
: they will have no effect and aren't part of
: the Coach Tomey's equation in determining
: whether to stay here or go to Hawaii.
:
: It is always nice to know that you are
: wanted -- no doubt about it. However,
: coaches don't read this stuff -- let's say
: they have more important things to do.

: If anything, Coach Tomey is having an
: internal dialogue about the situation he is
: facing. He knows his job is not yet done
: here -- a WAC championship would be the
: conclusion -- but he also has some degree of
: allegiance to Hawaii (the school) and the
: islands. We may not like that but it's
: something that should be acknowledged.
:
: My sense is that holding the AD position
: there for 4-5 years would be the perfect way
: for him to ride off into the sunset -- not
: the coaching job. He would have a greater
: chance for an impact as the AD. A lateral
: transfer with the job not yet done here
: isn't the Coach Tomey I believe I know.
:
: But I've been wrong before...
:
: It's curious that it's not blatant
: shortcomings at his present school that is
: the conundrum for Tomey. It's the feeling he
: has for Hawaii. I wouldn't want to be in his
: shoes as there is no clear cut path for him
: to take. He will feel he is letting down one
: of the parties regardless of his final
: decision.
