Hawaii’s reunion with June Jones as head coach was not to be, so the school has turned to a player from the same era.
The Rainbow Warriors announced on Saturday that they have named Timmy Chang their new head coach.
Chang was a legendary quarterback for Hawaii from 2000-2004. He passed for 17,072 yards, 117 touchdowns and 80 interceptions during his record-setting career.
Chang is currently a wide receivers coach at Colorado State and is being promoted all the way to head coach. His statement on the subject showed just how pumped he is for the opportunity:
Chang, 40, has been involved in coaching since 2012. But he’s never previously served as a coordinator, so stepping all the way up to head coach is a big jump. Hawaii is hoping he will be up to the task. The school also turned around the public sentiment following its publicized conflict with June Jones.
