He's gone so who takes over? Recruiting will be screwed.

: Thought I'd post here, so us
: Mililanians can debate the issue
: between ourselves. I love football,
: so I like UH football by default.
: Notice I didn't say I love UH
: football. That's because I think it
: has gotten way out of control with
: all of this hoopla over a
: "perfect season". Like
: all Hawaii people I hope they do
: well and represent the our state
: pridefully. I don't have a problem
: with the recnt landslide of public
: support they've gotten from fans.
: But c'mon, we really did not beat
: anyone of note .. not Boise, Fresno,
: Washington, or whomever. Sadly,
: only an educated football fan would
: realize this. And then there's this
: thing with the "June Jones has
: done so much for the state!"
: sentiment. He has? He coached a
: bunch of 20 somethings to 12 wins
: over marginal teams in 4 months.
: How has that "done so much for
: the state!"? My property taxes
: and gas prices are still
: ridiculously high, the homeless
: issue remains largely unsolved, more
: drunk drivers are killing themselves
: and others, our Mayor is putting us
: and our kids in debt for decades
: with rail, and on and on and on!
: Those are important issues, not
: football. I must add that this other
: notion that he understands local
: culture has to be a fairly recent
: phenomenon. I found him to be
: insultingly condescending to local
: folks, both through the media and in
: personal business experiences with
: him. Herman Frazier is a whole
: other bowl of saimin, but I digress.
: They can up Jones' salary all they
: want ... as long as I don't have to
: pay for it. The point I'm trying to
: make is to just keep UH football and
: whether Jones leaves UH in
: perspective, that's all. In the
: end, it's JUST FOOTBALL people!!!!!
