Rolo fills coaching staff
Mark Weber, who has 37 years of coaching experience, will be the Warriors’ new offensive line coach, the Star-Advertiser learned last night.
The Warriors also hired Ricky Logo as defensive line coach and Andre Allen to coach the receivers. Logo spent the past three seasons at Colorado State. Allen was the offensive coordinator at City College of San Francisco, which has won 10 JC national titles, including six since 2000.
Here’s the skinny on Weber:
> Among his coaching stops were Fresno State (2016, 2004-2005), Utah State (2013-2015), BYU (2007-2012), North Carolina (2006) and UCLA (1997-2003).
> He has success in both the running game (Fresno averaged 227.5 rushing yards per game in 2004) and pass protection (Bulldogs allowed 14 sacks in 13 games in 2005).
> The Warriors’ three-month search was pared to nine finalists, all of whom were interviewed last week.
> Weber coached Logan Mankins, a seven-time Pro Bowl player; Ryan Wendell, who played nine NFL seasons, and 1998 Outland Trophy winner Kris Farris.
> The Warriors ended the 2017 season with no coach older than 38. Since then, they added defensive coordinator Corey Batoon (48) and assistant head coach Mark Banker (61). Weber is 59.
Ichi?
Should have recruiting ties in Utah, Cali, and Nevada.
I love how the S-A inserts a workout video right after the line: “Here’s the skinny on Weber …”
as the youngster on TV kept saying, “things are looking up”!
3 down and 2 to go — is there not a 3rd coach, the 10th allowed from 2018, that is still open or will current coach(s) be reassigned to fill this position?
must wonder how 2017 would have turned out with the 3 experienced coaches on board, but let us not change history as history is yet to be recorded for 2018 and beyond.
Why didn’t Fresno retain him? I doubt we hired him away for more money.
Pono:
He was on DeRuyter’s staff, and they all got let go in 2016.
A-House:
The two that they will announce today will be the ninth and 10th assistant coaches.
That will complete the full-time staff.
After that, UH will focus on next year’s grad assistants and interns.
Like Miss Momi Lomilomi, the new coaches get plenty experience…
ST:
thanks for the correction!
I must have miscounted the number of “new” coaches versus those retained.
Onward to victory! — sign the recruits!!!!
Mark Weber, take your O line to the beach to run in the sand
and wade in the water to beef up their muscles…and of course,
to enjoy your stint in Hawaii 🙂
Weber knows the western half, that’s good.
Then scratch!
Ok that was bad.
10 assistant coaches :
AHC/OC/RB/TE
QB/PGC
OL
WR
DC
Asst HC/LB
DL
Secondary
Safeties
ST/DE

We did not have a separate DL
coach in 2017.
Great Morning All!
Welcome Coach Weber!
A good addition to the tailgates!
heheheh
Was he a teammate of Aranda?
Akamai Okole:
I think he’s a skosh older than Aranda.
A “skosh” meaning Weber started school at Cal Lutheran while Aranda started life! Played against Cal Lutheran all time great LB Brian Kelly, part of New York Giants LB crew the crunch bunch Harry Carson LAwarence Taylor er al.
OK, but do they text?
Sanchez named NFL rookie punter of the year. Had 3 rookie punters per Bobby.
Nice hire! I’m getting real excited for the upcoming season. Hoping for the best.
Life changes.
Did my run to Traitor Jo’s…used to get fuud for humans.
Now only get dog treats! Geez…
It all goes to the dogs.
Rigo is the man!
Nice hire.
I hope there’s a spot for Estes.
As we wait for the other shoes to drop, I have a profile For DL coach I’m hoping for. Hope I get what I wish for. GoWarriors!!!!
So both Weber and Banker were out of coaching last year? I can’t say that I’m too excited about the Weber hire, honestly probably would have preferred Estes.
Estes will probably come back as a grad assistant.
Howzit Tsaikos!
Possible to have two Stutzman’s on staff?
I though Estes did his 2 years GA.
BRS could be on the wing?
You know before there was twitter there were little birdies.
#24 Banker was still under contact to Nebraska and Weber may have taken the year after 35+ years in coaching to pick and choose which situation he wished to follow this year. Numerous coaches take other work or sit out a year or more between jobs
Hiring pau,
http://hawaiiathletics.com/news/2018/1/16/football-rolovich-completes-coaching-staff-with-three-veteran-coaches.aspx?path=football
Decades of coaching experience now on the UH staff.
Defensive Rixky Logo was born in American Samoa. Go there and bring sone linemen here!
Sorry, misspelling. Ricky Logo, defensive line coach.
Not the names I had been hearing, but some impressive hires. I always thought that the staff was lacking a veteran. I’d say Banker and Weber fit that bill, and the others bring a lot of D1 coaching experience as well, which I also thought was missing. Good job, Rolo!
#31: Haleakala. Here’s more on coach Logo’s ties to American Samoa. Interesting read:
http://articles.baltimoresun.com/1990-09-20/sports/1990263023_1_logo-samoa-grandfather
Clyde:
Interesting story!
So Logo did not pursue either becoming the high priest in American Samoa or joining the FBI. He stayed in football and now he is in Hawaii!
28. I read that Banker’s contract with Nebraska ended after the 2016 season.
I like all the new additions and I got my wish with Coach Logo. I welcome them and wish them the best in the future. GoWarriors!!!
now that it’s done — my only concern is who will be the OC — as much as I like Brian Smith, I believe there should be another to call plays from the “booth”.
JMHO based on the past 2 years.
Logo for Legi
Ricky Logo, a real prince.
Wonder if his first name comes from Richard,
then he could be called, Richard The Lion Hearted.
Welcome to The Kingdom of Hawaii. 🙂
CCSF where Andre Allen was OC ran a similar offense to the air raid according to an April 26, 2017 article in The Guardsman. But they ran about 60 % of their plays in 2017. Washington St. passed 70 % of their plays. CCSF has sent several players to WSU.
Wow looks like Collie is transferring bummer
Nice looking bunch of “new” coaches – plenny experience!
Collie transferring?! Hope not!
It’s great to be recognized as a not bot with one click!
Collie will be a grad student somewhere else.
Dylan probably looking for someplace where he can play more. He also endured some pretty tough times here with numerous drops.
With Ursua due back, Kumoku Noa emerging, and Cedric Byrd coming in with some major hype, Collie’s playing time would be cut. I wish he would stick it out but I don’t blame him if he do transfer. He have been a great asset to the team and community and have done a great job representing UH but he need to look out for himself first and foremost.
Wish him and his wife the best.
Can you help me reach my goal by making a $25 donation to the UH Foundation Fund I created for UH Football recruiting–see below link.
If 2000 fans do this, we will raise $50,000. So far, I got 303 donors (almost $7600), so only 1697 more donors to go–each donor spot represents $25.

Welcome new coaches–looking for great news on the remaining recruits!
GO WARRIORS!
What’s this about Dylan Collie transferring … ??? Can someone please enlighten me …
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS … !!!!!
https://twitter.com/23Collie/status/953456670620790784
Dylan Collie posted on his Instagram page he will be looking for somewhere else to play this upcoming season after he graduates this semester. Said he enjoyed his time hear but will be a grad transfer. Wish him the best but he never quite reached his potential for what ever reason.
Wow, Washington Stat’s potential starting QB commits suicide
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/pac12/2018/01/16/washington-state-qb-tyler-hilinski-found-dead/1039167001/
Best wishes to him and his family. His on the field effort, heart, and intellect will be missed. I hope he has a good senior season wherever he transfers to. Thank you Mr. Collie
#49 … “kapakahi” … Much Mahalo for the update … I’m not a Twitter kinda guy … sorry to hear he’s leaving … obviously my question is “WHY” … he’s been such a mainstay for the offense …
LIVE ALOHA / PLAY WARRIOR / DEFEND THE ROCK … GO ‘BOWS … !!!!!
Great Morning All!
Welcome new Coaches!
Aloha Mr. Collie!
Coming home…
Warrior head football coach Nick Rolovich new staff resume looks real promising with a lot of experiencing from each of the new hires.
Now with his full staff, I am sure their out in the field recruiting, especially locally.
Some of our top local high school football players who have received many offers from top mainland schools, would they now seriously of staying home and play for our Warrior football team? Would any of the newly, very experienced new Warrior football coaches convinced these kids to stay home?
#51 Big Wave, very sad to hear. Your link appreciated.
“Hilinski’s most memorable outing came in the second week of the season when he led Washington State from a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter to beat Boise State 47-44 in triple overtime. Hilinski threw for 240 yards and three touchdowns coming off the bench, and was carried off the field after the victory.” Hope Angels came and carried him to heaven. RIP young man.
now, comes the time for coaches to show their mettle as recruiters and teachers/trainers
i do hope that players committed or not will re-look UH as the place to live and play football
school is pretty good too!
my contribution to My Pillow — we bought 2 and the past 2 nights I really slept well — so comfortable and hugs your face — at least mine does cause I like my head to be in a relatively flat position – Mrs likes her a little propped up
OK, no more advertisements
Mr. A-House – I thought you had Mrs. A-House to hug your face.
