Hawaii to Name Defensive Coordinator McMackin Head Coach
January 15, 2008 |
Initially it appeared Greg McMackin was going to follow former Hawaii coach June Jones to SMU. But at the last minute he decided to throw his name in the ring for the Warrior’s top job. And good thing he did, since it appears Hawaii is set to name him their new head coach on Wednesday.
McMackin served as the Warriors’ defensive coordinator last year. It was his second stint with Hawaii, sandwiching jobs with Texas Tech and the San Francisco 49ers. He’s known as a great recruiter, winning Rivals.com’s Big XII Recruiter of the Year while at Texas Tech. But really, how hard is it to recruit kids to come to Hawaii? Let’s see, it’s 80 degrees and sunny most of the time, there are beaches everywhere, and you’re constantly surrounded by gorgeous women. I’m pretty sure even I could recruit there.
