"...By this time next week, UH should have a new head football coach (Greg McMackin is the only logical choice) and a new athletic director (anybody not tied to the previous administration) ... This time, let's hope the next AD has strong local ties, isn't threatened by suggestions, communicates with his staff, and — for the money he/she will be paid — actually owns a house/condo/tent in Hawai‘i..."

: At this point, I fully expect Dick Tomey to

: our head football coach for the next three
: seasons. He may have interest in the AD job
: at Hawaii, but he made it clear that it
: would take a "very, very compelling
: opportunity" to arise to make him leave
: SJSU. Herman Frazier made $250K a year,
: which is considerably less than Tomey
: currently makes as SJSU's head coach. I just
: don't see Hawaii wanting Tomey's services
: bad enough to double the AD positions salary
: just to make it "very, very
: compelling". It's been reported that
: their first choice is Tom Donovan, the
: director of the Hawaii Bowl. He has strong
: ties to the Hawaii business community, and
: that is where they need to focus their
: efforts (ie fundrasiing for the athletics
: programs). I believe that Hawaii will figure
: they've got the football aspect covered if
: they hire Greg McMackin as their new head
: coach, and cover the fundraising issue with
: Donovan as the AD (at a much smaller salary
: than it would take to convince Tomey to
: leave SJSU).
