RIP coach mac

[couz808]

Prayers to his family. Man what a tough few weeks it has been for UH with Jim Leahey and now G Mack.

[Duster]

I was “Backin’ McMackin” back then. Most approachable coach at UH. RIP Coach Mack.

Sad to hear that - whilst 77 is a decent age, you love to see someone who can enjoy a long retirement that they have earned.

A gentleman, and a man of integrity.
Blessings to his family.

My favorite coach. I still wonder how much better off we'd be now if the dream team of Mac, Rolo, and Aranda had stuck around for a few more years. Hawaii was so lucky to have been under his stewardship. Aloha, Coach Mac.

Will forever remember this....

That’s Dave Aranda in the back row at 25 years old.

One of the greats at UH football history IMO.

I don't remember now, he had no "Hawaii connection" prior to coming to Hawaii, correct?

"Hawaii has meant a lot to my family and me," said McMackin, reading off a brief prepared statement without taking questions. "I have decided to retire from my position at this time. I believe in my players and their potential for success."

The 62-year-old McMackin just completed the fourth year of his five-year contract that pays him a base pay of $1.1 million annually. He will forego $500,000 owed in his final year, "which I hope will help strengthen the UH football program," he said.

"I want to thank my players, my coaches, the staff and the good people of Hawaii," McMackin said. "I wish you well. Mahalo."
