Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 1:49 pmsure wish he would have followed JJ
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 1:54 pmSo where do we go from here?
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 2:44 pmIs Dat Nguyen ready for a college DC position?
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 3:04 pmI'm telling you, JJ must have a list working...He has been around too long to not to have a few guys in mind...I'm sure there are a few WAC guys whoi wouldn't mind making more money at SMU...You never know...
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 3:06 pmI don't think JJ is worried. He was obviously pleased with his UH staff (per his offer to ALL of them), but he certainly knew GM was up for the vacated position (especially since he championed him), and has definitely made provisions for that.
Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2008 3:16 pmI'm not worried. He recommended him for the vacated position. So if JJ is going to do that, I think he's got a DC up his sleeve.

Advertiser Staff
University of Hawai'i defensive coordinator Greg McMackin appears to be the overwhelming choice to replace June Jones, who signed to become coach at Southern Methodist last Monday.
University of Hawai'i defensive coordinator Greg McMackin is set to interview for the UH head coaching job tomorrow, according to sources familiar with the situation.
George Lumpkin, UH's associate head coach the past nine years, also will be interviewed.
Tomorrow is the first day in which UH can review applicants. UH was required to post the opening for the position for five days. It was posted on the UH site last Tuesday.
McMackin appears to be the overwhelming choice to replace June Jones, who signed to become coach at Southern Methodist last Monday.
McMackin received endorsements from Jones, UH assistant coaches and players.
Even Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw said the new coach "must be someone who can lead a smooth transition for current team members."
UH President David McClain said he hopes to have a coach in place this week so the university can host football recruits by this weekend.
Norm Chow, offensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans, did not apply for the vacant head coaching job.
It is not known if Kevin Gilbride, offensive coordinator for the New York Giants, applied. Gilbride's brother-in-law, Mike Cavanaugh, a former UH coach, said Gilbride was very interested.
But the Giants upset the Dallas Cowboys yesterday and are still playing.
