I appreciate all the past coaches and their efforts…now let the past stay in the past (and one of them is my cousin).

Bring Makoa back. I don’t see many (any??) other applicants with his resume. It’s true we have ex-NFL RRFLs…but I don’t see any of them applying. And he cares for these kids just as much as anyone else on the list of applicants.

We need to move forward with stability, which fosters self-confidence in the kids. Bring him back.

808WarriorFan – Maybe UH could learn a thing of two from Kahuku being hard on their coaches?

Kahuku must think they are in the SEC instead of the OIA … Makoa did a great job and deserves to return as HC

When Kahuku Admin initiated this re-apply for coaches that was back in 2014 I think football had just come off a 6-5 season… you read that right. 6 wins and 5 losses. It doesn’t define a career of coaching but it was a time to open things up.

Since then it’s meant coaches either do their best or find somewhere else to do it. Personally I thought that Reggie was ok. But after a losing season like that it was a good time to try to make a change. Leslie, did 9-3, then Tata went perfect. Then his second year lost against #1 in the nation and #1 in Hawaii. So the bar is set although I will say since Hao left Tata the O wasn’t as consistent. Here we had another 2 loss season but to some okay team in UT and then a close one against St. Louis. But if I compare this years St. Louis to last, last would have smashed this years.

These men are all a great selection! But only one man has a track record of beating St. Louis and he would be the pick if there is any chance of beating Cal Lee and his coaches! It’s iron sharpening iron only! Choose wisely and make it right because wining and learning are two different aspects but both are painful ask any player from Kahuku or Saint Louis which pain deals better!

amela – need to fix UH first, I don’t know if it’s the coaches or players but they are in a funk and looking pretty bleak.

Almost seems like any coach can win out there. Anyway we need someone to get the players to come to UH, period.

Kahuku has a great opportunity to connect with the kids now. Coach livai and torres were my coaches in high school and they both inspired us as a team. It would be a tough choice. Livai was a excellent football coach and the legend to break the st Louis win streak and Reggie Torres is a legend in the athlete progam. Reggie inspired his teams and taught life lessons that implement success. Not just in the field but off the field. He coached judo, wrestling, and football and won state championships for each sport. He also manage to train us to be champions when all odds were against us. So choose wisely.

North Shore has always had the size and strength.. Its the coaching and expectations that make a great team/core group/individual.

Keala Santiago is running DBU out in Kahuku and that is the cornerstone of the Red Raider Nation.

Defense wins games (most of the time!)
