    I can't say I blame him for leaving with only working on a $50,000 recruiting budget. Besides, their is nothing more he can accomplish at Hawaii.

    SMU will reportily pay him $2 million per year. He only makes 800k now at Hawaii, so I really don't blame the guy for leaving.

    You can't really blame him,I mean the only way he ever got any players from the states was if they came to him.Now he has a chance to have better facilities,(I heard the fieldhouse,and his office and stuff were a joke) better recruiting,a little better of everything.Plus he can still recruit the islands if need be.I mean there is not much difference between the WAC and Conference USA,with the exception of a few players.Then you throw in a million dollar contract,and there you have it.So I think he made the better choice.

    Bums me out so much... I've really become a big fan of the team under his regime... losing him, Colt, and Bess (among others) is absolutely brutal...

    He'll fit in good with the style of play that the majority of Conference USA teams play.

    Did an unbelievable job at Hawaii. Hope he stays, but money talks.

    Atlanta, Baltimore or Miami could use his talent as well.

    I think he will do well at SMU also, I am surprised that someone else hasn't picked him up yet.

    That is the kind of offense SMU should run to compete.

    At SMU, I think June Jones will be very successful. Pound for pound, JJ is one of the best college football coaches out there. Unfortunatley, many people are only going to remember Hawaii's game against Georgia which is sad b/c JJ literally changed that entire program there and turned it from a major loser to a team competing in a BCS title game.

    SMU has been down for a very long time, but I expect them to be better now. SMU has been probably the worst college football program the past 20 years....JJ has a lot of work to do. If SMU can get to a bowl game or have a 10 win season, I'll say that JJ is the best coach in college football.

    He already has done his best at Hawaii , but this move was for the money. Because he would have won many more games and enjoyed a nicer enviroment in Hawaii. I would have stayed at hawaii and asked for a raise in between my 800K and their offer of 2 MIL
