His interview at Boise State was unlike any other, and Chad Kauha’aha’a loved it.
As coach Bryan Harsin and the Broncos were looking for a new defensive line coach, they brought in the Maui native who had coached the last seven seasons at three Power Five schools.
On Dec. 30, Kauha’aha’a went to Harsin’s house with defensive coordinator Andy Avalos and tight ends/special teams coach Kent Riddle. The pair left him with Harsin after dinner to watch some bowl games.
The next day, after breaking down film and drawing up schemes on the whiteboard, is “what took the interview over the top” – going through drills on the Blue with Avalos and an equipment manager as Harsin watched.
