It remains to be seen. He already lives in Hawaii (hits the ground running), is on staff, knows the players and the local culture and traditions, and did a good job as Defensive Coordinator at UH --- and he was one of Jones' top picks as his replacement.

Whoever follows June Jones' '07 record is going to have big shoes to fill, and will likely be roundly criticized in some areas. If UH pulled everything together and had a great season, and won 70% of their games, it would be a let-down for some after 12-0 and a aBCS bowl game, even when we took the Sugar Bowl beating.
