Offer is on the table for 1.5-1.7M per season. He will jump on this in a heartbeat. He knows that the Sugar Bowl was the pinnacle for Hawaii. He wants to coach at a program where he can try to recuirt players and actually have good facilities.

I also think it is a good hire for SMU...June Jones gimmick offense works anywhere as long as he doesn't play against defenses with real speed.

You would rather be at crappy SMU than at Hawaii?

SMU isn't crappy...I've heard they have good facilities and I wouldn not ever pass up 1.5-1.7M per year. Plus you can actually recruit instead of having to desperately beg ex-cons to come to your university.

SMU is in Texas right? Jones can just recruit in his backyard and he can really stretch a budget. He can find those diamonds in the rough for his system offense.

SMU used to be a huge program but they've fallen apart. I'd rather be on the islands, laying on the beach.

Making 300k a year...not being able to have recruiting visits?
