Giving credit to his assistant coaches, Mack said:
"I give complete credit to Rolo and Dave and our other coaches. It's the job of the coaches to get the players in position to make plays, and our players are making plays." (HSA)
HSA Note: "While McMackin still leads coaches' meetings and is involved in crafting game plans, Rolovich and Aranda have been given play-calling autonomy."
About how he has learned to delegate responsibility to his coaches, Mack said:
"When you have good people, you want to use them. I learned I can do head coaching things, and let guys I really trust to run the offense and defense. My job is to do whatever I can to help them do their jobs better. I believe in them." (HSA)
About how their success lifts the spirits of the entire state, Mack said:
"We've tried to give the people of Hawaii something to be proud of. When Mufi (Hannemann) was mayor, he told me that every time we win, the negative calls are cut down. Nobody is complaining about potholes. That's something we talked about as a team: Putting a smile on the faces of our fans. We want to give them something positive in these tough times." (HSA)
About how Mouse Davis wants David Graves to move to slotback but he will give Graves a chance to compete at QB when Moniz graduates, Mack said:
"Mouse thinks he has the best pair of hands of the young guys. Defensive guys want him as the safety. He's a very good athlete." (HSA)
Appreciating how Graves does whatever the team asks him to do, Mack said:
"Right now, we appreciate his great attitude. He's willing to help the team. He's very unselfish." (HSA)
About how their team plays together, Kaniela Tuipulotu said:
"It is about playing together, everybody helping each other out." (HSA)
About how he missed the ohana spirit when he played for Arizona, Tuipulotu said:
"Here, with this team, we help each other. We've got each other's backs." (HSA)
