Yeah, they were really glad to get rid of sorry ole' JJ. Right up to the point where the Govenor was calling and begging, and offering JJ the moon, I mean (islands). All of the emails, and school children shedding tears was a nice touch too. Too bad the AD got fired, the day after that sorry ole' JJ announced he was going to SMU. :wink:

Warbow needs to meet Mike Cavan and/or Phil Bennett. So how has McMackin fared in his career as head coach? ...and HC of Aloha HS doesn't count. Don't be so proud of McMackin until you see how he fares as captain of the ship. For the record, Phil Bennett was a hot defensive coordinator in the Big XII before going to SMU


Not quite the same.

McMackin's first head coaching stint was at Oregon Tech from 1986-90, where he also served as assistant athletics director. The team enjoyed four winning seasons and established 48 school and 18 national records. Oregon Tech advanced to the national championship playoffs and semifinals and was ranked third nationally during his tenure. McMackin earned Coach of the Year honors twice and coached the first two Oregon Tech football players drafted by the NFL.

I don't foresee any success for JJ in Texas. He didn't have to compete for local talent with any other NCAA Hawaii school thus getting his pick of Hawaii's recruiting crop. There wasn't to many non-BCS type schools to compete against for the local talent except maybe Utah. It won't be the same in Texas for him, whatever recruits Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St don't want he would have to battle TCU, Houston, Rice, Tulsa and North Texas for. With his recruiting skills, I feel sorry for SMU. The future of SMU football still looks bleak.

Like a good sales man, JJ knew when to bail. He bailed when his stock was the highest and got the best deal for himself. It's always been about himself with JJ. It was always "I" did this or "I" did that with him.

I wouldn't consider a program who had the death sentence issued and hasn't had a winning team in over twenty years as a better program. It was all about the money, no other reason. Sure Hawaii has it's problems but it wasn't something new to JJ. He stayed here for 9 years and only bitched about it as an excuse to take the money and run.


Your post makes me glad I graduated from SMU and not Hawaii. I hope for your sake you are in school and haven't taken your english classes yet.

Let's just say that I know she got picked up by some HS kids and maybe a college freshman or two.
