Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors football can be characterized by extremes. From 1996-1998, Hawai’i won 5 games over the course of three seasons. Knowing that they needed to rectify the gloomy disaster that was the Fred Von Appen era, Hawai’i made a big splash and hired June Jones. The rest is history. Experiencing the best era of football in its history, UH capped a golden regime with a Sugar Bowl visit in early 2008 after an undefeated 2007 season. Sure, June Jones promptly left and Hawai’i was overwhelmed by Georgia, but the program was still as strong as ever. Even after Jones left, it wasn’t long before promoted defensive coordinator Greg McMackin had Hawai’i winning big again in 2010, finishing with a 10-4 record.
