In reply to Polo. A few days after this article written by me was published, we asked Doug Cosbie if he took a head coach job in Italy. He said "No." He said that in March and April, he is going to help a team in Italy that he coached in 2010. I believe him, but, like with anybody else on the planet, he could by lying. I saw the story that was published in Italian and pressed the "translation" button. I truly believe the translation is not accurate and it leads people to believe he will be the head coach. I will keep my eyes open on this, however, and try to get confirmation from someone from the Italian team.

RRFL shut the hell up! You’re such a gossiper! Wish the man best of luck and you can go back and repent from your stupidity. OG RRFL!

He made a family decision, it is non of our business why and surly doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. If he is taking a new job, GREAT!

You are assuming that the reporting is accurate. Have you double checked the sources? You know how many times news and media get dates and information incorrect? Almost every day in the advertiser alone there is a retraction or an update made to stories since information is either inaccurate or missing certain elements. So even though it’s reported it isn’t always correct or 100% accurate. It kind of seems you have an ulterior motive here. But my real question for you is why do want to tell someone to be honest yet hide behind a fictitious name. It really smells of hypocrisy. Shouldn’t you be honest too unless your parents named you RRFL which I highly doubt.

At the end of the day I applaud and congratulate all coaches who help the keiki. I am thankful that Coach like Mr. Cosby help the kids. I find it both embarrassing and irresponsible that people of our community feel the need to attack someone or call out their action behind a false name. Don’t you have any integrity?

If you look at the article published by the Italian newspaper, he accepted the job in early December. Well before his announcement to Kamehameha. So your point is moot. Just be honest.

RR4L, maybe things changed? We don’t know. At the time of the story maybe he was leaving for family reasons. A job could have opened up after that comment was made assuming it was accurate. That does not mean he is dishonest. Unless we all know the truth which no one does. And assuming all the newspapers are accurate which sometimes things are taken out of context, who know. And who really cares. He left, did his best while he was here, and from what I got from many kids and parents, they liked Coach Cosbie a lot. So what is wrong with leaving? The season is over and he more than fulfilled his duties. He doesn’t even need to say why he’s leaving. And unless we all know the whole story which I bet neither you or I do not know, why is it even anyone’s business? As humans aren’t we allowed to change our minds? Do we need to disclose everything we do? He is allowed some privacy. This isn’t the NFL, it’s high school sports, geez. Leave the guy alone. Unless I know the entire story, I reserve judgement. I hope others would do the same instead of living on a blog and insulting this fine man. If you are upset, maybe craft a letter to him personally with your complaints. That might be more effective.

He lied about why he was leaving.. That’s what’s dishonest. He told the school and his players that he was leaving for family reasons in California but yet he’s actually leaving for another job in Italy. Just be honest and upfront

He has the right to choose any job he wants. Why should he care if people found out? There is nothing he did that is dishonest here. This is America.

Wish the man well, it doesn’t matter what he left for or why.

Rumor is Cosby is taking a football job in Europe. Google his name under the “News” Section, you’ll find it there. Did he not think people would find out?
