McMackin hiring: the aftermath

The hiring of Greg McMackin already is sparking improvements.
Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw said she is seeking to raise the pay scale for McMackin's assistants. Also, she said she is looking into offering multi-year contracts. The assistants are on one-year contracts.
Best of all, UH power cleaned the carpet on the third floor today.
"I was wondering where that thing was," said a coach, pointing to the power cleaner.
Here's a look at how the coaching change impacts several people:
• Jeff Reinebold said he is joining June Jones' staff at SMU as an assistant coach. He said he will leave Hawaii tomorrow morning, but will keep his rental in Waimanalo.
• The current staff: Ron Lee is expected to be named offensive coordinator. Cal Lee is expected to be named defensive coordinator, although McMackin will have a large role in the defensive game plan. Rich Miano and George Lumpkin will have expanded roles. The Dallas Morning News is reporting
• Nick Rolovich and Brian Smith. The offers are in the e-mail.
• Brian Kajiyama. It appears he will be retained in some capacity. He is a graduate assistant.
• Terry "Duff" Duffield. He is no longer on the staff.
• Carl Clapp. Jury's out on this one. He deserves credit for absorbing the abuse aimed at the previous administration. But he gets demerits for running away when lawmakers and the media toured the facilities last week, leaving Teri Chang and John McNamara to field questions. Not cool.
• Compliance Guy. Ya dance with the one who brung ya and ... whoops, where did his partner go?
• John McNamara. He needs to fulfill his promise of selling 30,000 season tickets.
• Derek Inouchi. Even though he looks like he has to go shi-shi whenever controversy hits, he's a good guy and a hard worker. Plus, he came up with the idea of giving away FREE autographed posters of the UH football team. OK, OK, it would have been a better idea a month ago, but I don't see anybody else up there coming up with a new marketing idea.

Acch!! I don't blame him for leaving. It is the nature of the biz but I wish we had him for a couple of years at least. Now we need to hire another run & shoot offensive line coach.
 
Hate to see him leave after one season, but it's like a natural fit for Coach Smith. I'm confident between Coach Glanville and Mouse they will get an excellent replacement.
 
I don't know anyone who would pass up the chance to jump up a level to their alma mater. secondly the o-line may be in for a down year, especially after losing two big time players.
 
Little blurb in the Big O today about this position:

The Vikings are interviewing candidates to replace offensive line coach Brian Smith, who accepted the same job on Greg McMackin's staff at the University of Hawaii two weeks ago. Glanville said his first choice to fill the position was former NFL coach Joe Bugel, who is staying in the pros with Washington to coach the offensive line. "Joe Bugel and I were college roommates, and he just signed a two-year deal with Washington for $6 million," Glanville said. "I offered him two years for $50,000. But I guaranteed him that I would triple his workload."
