Chad Kapanui brings **proven Hawai‘i roots** and **championship-development chops** to the Rainbow Warriors staff
Kapanui is best known as a former Hawai‘i quarterback/linebacker who returned to Manoa in 2025 with nearly two decades of coaching experience, including work at Bishop Gorman, where he helped develop high-level prep talent and a national championship offense. His differentiator is evaluation and player development: he has coached polished quarterbacks, understands both sides of the ball, and has a reputation for helping build disciplined, winning programs. If your team values a coach who blends local credibility, leadership, and a track record of elevating talent, he fits.
