Not really a Punahou fan but I like Kapule. After watching this kid play the last two years I have much respect for this kid’s talent and is probably the most underrated QB this year. He is an ideal QB (physically, mentally, and athletically).

I think it would be an issue if it was 16 non-quality coaches. But, if you look at that list of coaches they are well seasoned, knowledgeable, quality people and coaches. The players stand to benefit from it.

@northshore, the private schools only pay a certain amount of coaches. And not everyone listed on this staff is being paid. And it’s not like they are getting a lot. What is the pay for an assistant coach? Some of these guys are getting paid $0-$1200. When you factor in the amount of time put in, they are maybe making $4.00/hour give or take a little.

Even Kale isn’t making that much. Several years ago I think his pay was like $3500-$4000 a year (just to be the football coach). That’s chump change.

Punahou is trying to show-up St. Louis, Money is king and Punahou has more of it and will soon dominate ILH football. All those coaches from around the island means that Punahou is trying to build a network of connections to recruit. cmon you dont think there is a reason to put the two kahuku residents as Oline coaches? They want the big boys from the northshore.

Very impressive. Why not, private schools are able to pay there coaches whereas, OIA has a limit as to the number of paid coaches and the rest are wanna-be coaches. Ane needs all the help he can muster. Heck, why not have 30 coaches…one coach for every 2 players. Now that would surely be individual attention and no excuse on winning the ILH and state championship. Good luck Ane, may your coaching staff help you to be successful.

I thought the former Radford Head Coach stepped down to focus on family or professional reasons.

The more coaches the better as the players get more individualized attention in working their skills and blending it in with the team which is the reason or one of the reasons why Puns are always successful year in and out and receive many Div. 1 college offers.
Cheers to them although I root for the underdog in Iolani which is always undersize, undermanned, but play with much heart. ILH is a tough league overall but Kahuku is a tough school individually and deserves much credit for their team success year in and out and this year will be no exception with the returnees they will have and will be heavily favored to win the States again.
