2018 Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors Season Preview

Fans of the Hawaii Warriors don’t need any reminder about how rough things have been for the football program, but here’s a quick recap anyway: After Greg McMackin was fired at the end of the 2011 season, Norm Chow was hired and immediately scrapped Hawaii’s run-and-shoot offense. For 12 years the Warriors created a brand, an identity surrounded around the offense that allowed wide receivers to “adjust on the fly” and featured absurd offensive statistics on a weekly basis. Sometimes Hawaii won, sometimes they lost, but no fan, Hawaii or neutral observer, could claim the run-and-shoot Warriors were boring.
