A Hawaii Fan's Perspective on June Jones . . . 9 years ago
Posted: Mon Sep 30, 2013 3:03 pmThis posted by a Hawaii fan 9 years ago under the heading Fire June Jones...(after a 63-3 road loss to Boise State putting UH at 3-4 for the year). I post this because I see the exact same posts on this board...
Keep in mind UH would finish that season 5-1, win a bowl game, and beat two P5 teams in the process. A year and a half later they would win 24 of their next 28 games finishing those years with a #24 and #17 ranking.
LDub20 finally got what he wanted: Norm Chow is 3-13 in his first 16 games, two of those wins against Lamar and South Alabama. Hawaii went from Sugar Bowl to perhaps the worst team in the NCAAs.

June Jones is a bum.
His run-and-sh1t offense has been figured out.
It no longer puts fear in opponents.
He has no idea how to recruit.
He gives scholarships to the whole world.
His idea of recruiting is going up the road and checking out the golf team or the women's water polo team.
And guess what "They all have a chance to play on Sundays."
"This is the best recruiting class ever."
Hawaii has no atheletes!
I thought when June Jones took over we were going to the "next level."
I also thought he would be able to attract some blue chip atheletes especially on offense.
Chad Owens is a nice WAC player, but come on now there's a reason why he had to walk on first.
He would get smashed in other conferences.
I can't believe that in his 6th year we've had such poor atheletes at the WR postioins.
If your gonna have a pass-pass-pass offense, at least get some bigger recievrs like 6'2-6'4 on the outside so they can stretch the field and make the big play.
This offense only works against inferior opponents.
When it doesn't work it's painful to watch.
How hard is it to get sum blue chippers to come and live free in paradise!
It's way too late to get any blue chippers.
Hawaii's chances slipped couple years ago.
The whole nation has caught on that Hawaii sucks!
Bottom line is players make the plays.
Hawaii has no play makers!
But, when a team gets whooped this many times.
It's the coach's fault and he takes the blame.
June Jone's makes no adjustments or preparations.
Get a D-Coordinatoer!
What the hell is George Lumpkin doing as a DC!
Timmy Chang sucks as well.
He's the biggest choker in history!
Nice QB w/ talent, but give me a guy who has heart and can win the big games.
His W/L record is almost the same since he's been here!
He needs to go!
We were better off before him!(Rolo!)
Can we say Norm Chow!
Please?
When June Jone's took over his goal was to turn Hawaii into a Top 25 program each year and take Hawaii to the "next level."
We've only been in the Top 25 once since he's been here and for only one week when Alabama came here and beat us that year.
I think Bob Wagner put Hawaii in the top 25 at least 2 or 3 times.
At least his team's played defense and tried to tackle people!
Coach's are judged in the 4th year on how their doing at a program.
This is June Jone's 6th year!
It's obvious something is not working when we are getting blown out each time.
Players on not responding to coaching.
Coaches are not making the right adjustments and preparations.
At least be competative on the road and especially on a national T.V.
This guy is being paid the "big money" to coach.
I think Von Oppen would have had better showings if given a chance.
He should take all the blame!
His offense only works against Tulsa, San Jose, and oooh even Nevada.
It didn't work against Portland St. and against Florida Atlantic!
This is a "what have you done for me lately business?"
Why can't Hawaii compete w/BCS schools?
I don't expect Hawaii to ever compete for a national championship.
But, don't get embarssed on the national stage.
Boise and Utah do it!
If you can win in Boise, Idaho you can win in paradise!
Boise has nation's longest winning streak, undefeated, always RANKED!
What's their secret?
A good coach!
Urban Meyer and Dan Hawkins.
Utah was down 2-3 years ago.
Hawaii was a better program.
Now that they have a new coach there a BCS buster!
And don't think there not coming to Hawaii to take all the top recruits.
They did before.
This thing about Hawaii's distance is why they always lose on the road is crap.
Teams come here and win.
Ex:FAU ring a bell.
I thought Florida St. came to town not Florida Atlantic!
You said that blue chippers will choose BCS schools.
Well, part of that is true Blue Chippers will go to schools that win!
If I was a WR or QB Hawaii would be one of my choices.
This is a offensive player's dream to play in and for a so called NFL coach.
But, not if they constantly get blown out!
My last point Timmy Chang is the most overrated player in college football history.
His W/L record since he's been here is something like 24-22.
That stinks!
A QB is judged on how many games he wins.
This guy constantly chokes!
Nobody cares about that passing record!
People care about wins!
Hawaii won more games w/out Tammy,I mean Timmy.
I guarantee that this is the beggining of the end for Hawaii and June Jones.
These guy's are about finesse.
No football team want's to be called a "finnese" team.
They don't tackle or even bother practice tackling.
Last time I checked football involve tackling!
Thanks for agreeing!
We do suck!
Who has June Jones beaten that earns national respect.
BYU!
No one outside of Hawaii cares about BY-WHO.
BYU stinks, but they'll run right over Hawaii just like FAU and Portland St.
HAAAH!
Kahuku would probably have a chance against Hawaii's defense.
The only other team he beat was Alabama, but they were down that year.
But, I'll still give him that.
So one team in 6 years from a power conferense!
$808,000 for that!
Bob Wagner did that year in year out.
Except he's a lot cheaper and his teams had pride and know how to tackle!
Keep in mind UH would finish that season 5-1, win a bowl game, and beat two P5 teams in the process. A year and a half later they would win 24 of their next 28 games finishing those years with a #24 and #17 ranking.
