Chang to join SMU

June Jones said this morning that former UH quarterback Timmy Chang will be joining the SMU football team as a graduate assistant.

Jones, entering his fifth season as the Mustangs' head coach, said Chang will be working with the offense, of course, where he will be reunited with former UH coaches Dan Morrison and Wes Suan.

Jones said Chang expressed an interest in coaching about a year ago. Chang recently earned a bachelor's degree, a requirement for a GA's job. Jones said Chang will report on Aug. 1, the first day of the Mustangs' training camp.

Jones said the Mustangs run "80 percent" of the offensive schemes that the Warriors used when Chang was the quarterback. The Mustangs often use a tight end, which supposedly was absent in Jones' four-wide offense at UH. But Jones said running back Reagan Mauia sometimes aligned as a tight end for the Warriors.

Jones also said he and UH head coach Norm Chow are long-time friends who have remained in contact through the years. "He's going to do a good job over there," Jones said.

Brad Haynes occasionally lined up at TE in 3 WR 1 TE sets June used to help with run blocking.

There's a big difference between occasionally and often. 10% is not often.

True, I'm not sure why the writer of that article used the word often.

Nice hire.

Im still in hopes they will employ a TE the same way the colts did in the early to mid nineties during their Super Bowl runs. Anybody remember the name of the TE they used during that time?

That was the Bills and they ran a hurry up no huddle attack called the K-Gun named for TE Keith McKeller.

Ha! I've been drinking again ogling the waitress, good catch.

Are you sure the TE's name was McKeller, though?

Yes though you might have been thinking of Pete Metzelaars, the Bills other TE during that era.
