Technically I guess Hawaii HS varsity football players aren’t adults yet…. They look, act and are treated like adults though.

Thinking back to my playing days. Players like George Tupuola, Jerry Tagoai, and DJ Cabrera would make most of the daddies in the stands look like kids.

@Spartan, sounds weird you referring to Vars football players as children. High school guys who act like children, don’t play vars football bruddah. Footballs a mans game!

I believe the best person for the job should be hired. I don’t care if my child’s teacher is red, blue, green, or whatever if that person can do the best job. And based on what many kids think of the coach, he did a fantastic job of building relationships.

Why is it that, with so much local talent, Kamehameha felt a need to get a foreigner? What message are they sending to their own constituents – you local, you good enough for slave duty only? How insulting is that?

This is so ignorant and racist. You would think that in 2016 anyone would hire the best candidate based on resume and fit. Bringing in race just pushes us Hawaiians back 100 years.

So based on these asinine comments, all teachers and employees should be from Hawaii with Hawaiian Blood? OMG

Why are there so many racist comments on here? This is 2016. In today’s world we choose the best candidate on resume, or at least we should. Also, why do you people insult this family man behind a fake name. If you are going to call him out, as least have some integrity and not hide behind a screen name. At least Coach Cosbie was doing the best he could day in and out. That is more important than winning a few football games. I applaud all coaches who give the time to children. I am embarrassed for our state that a few bad apples have to insult the man.

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?

Like most of the local families of players realize….when schools invest in a coach from the mainland its usually unsuccessful and a waste of time. Same goes for this story. Mainlanders don’t realize that coaches here coach not to make a living but bc they love the sport enough to practically work for free.

Good riddance to that scumbag. He couldn’t evaluate talent if it bit him in the ass. I’ve identified much more collegiate prospects on Kam’s team than he ever did.

Please do not compare Kamehameha’s Coach to Lee Leslie because there is no comparison. Kam had a real Coach with real knowledge about the game. Kahuku had a fake who had no idea how to make adjustments. All the guy could do was sell dreams…
