NYC and Japan All-American

is a scandal or other non-job related issue. OL was one of the highest rated groups on the team. Why would you fire the coach of one of your best group? He was fired after the first year the group wasn't highly rated.

In regard to Connor Pay's comments WHERE was our head coach?

That's a HUGE indictment of previous OL coach. Connor doesn't sugar-coat it.

That's a HUGE indictment of the head coach.

I think it's an indictment of how he handled that situation, yes.

You mean our 7-0 head coach...lol at the hand wringing from last year

The Chief

9:27am

7-0 this year doesn't make him immune to criticism.

cougarmeister

10:09am

That's lost on ALL the Kalani defenders.

gopman

10:52am

He's our coach...why wouldn't everyone defend a 7-0 coach that is ranked 11th?

The Chief

11:05am

Because, even though we're undefeated, we aren't leading the league in rebounds too. Winning is great.. but we have to

HarlemCoug

because somehow, apparently, its possible to be better than 7-0

You CAN do both be excited for the year (thank you Jay Hill!) AND
