Re: JUNE JONES OR BUST!
June Jones gave UH every opportunity to extend his contract. UH snoozed and the coach left. There are no immediate assurances that he is available given his recent connections to the XFL. The June Jones 2.0 organization at UH would certainly include the likes of Miano and alums. It would invigorate this broken program in ways that no other candidate would be able to do. All other candidates offer hypotheticals at best. June Jones is the only one who would deliver on his abilities.

but on topic, I wouldn't mind JJ or anyone from that staff to return our program to it's glory days. Jeff Reinbold has been voicing on twitter that he would love to come back and help UH. I could live with Miano at HC. I too think that he would stick around for a long time and could retire as HC since he is established in Hawai'i, I just really don't see him leaving for "better opportunities". If his goal was that, I would think he would have moved to the mainland to work his way up the ladder in another program. maybe JJ comes back to help mentor someone for a few years, then pass the torch. it's sad to see players leaving, but it's still exciting to see what the future will be with a new coach.

This, I too remember.Irse wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 4:32 amI don't remember that. I remember that his contract ran out when he left because Frazier did not offer him one. And he was willing to take a pay cut as long as the money they saved would be put back into the program. That is what I remembered.gpmcconnell wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 3:55 amRemember when June Jones abandoned the program for SMU?WarriorTyme wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 2:40 am My favorite is June Jones, he just might be the preverbal shot in the arm to get the Hawaii program back on track. Nothing beats experience in how to build a winning program in a tough recruiting market like Hawaii. With coaches leaving Oklahoma for USC or Notre Dame for LSU there is no long term coaching mentality anymore. Add over 3000 players in the transfer portal, up from 1200 last season, even the players are not staying long term for various reasons. Having said that, I like all those candidates listed by KHON 2, let's see who actually applies for the job? UH can't hire somebody who didn't apply.

Re: JUNE JONES OR BUST!
the only person I felt abandoned the program was Rolo. Can't blame him to chase more money to support his family. But he left after renewing his contract, so it was still an abandonment. lol

People on this board were all over the story about Bo Grahamʻs relationship with a student and youʻre asking for JJ? Thatʻs what I like about this board…consistency

Re: JUNE JONES OR BUST!
Exactly, people should look at June Jones exit from SMU a little bit closer. There’s a reason he hasn’t been a candidate at any other college since he resigned for personal reasons
