June Jones ‘Still Interested’ in Hawai’i Coaching Job Despite Turning Down Offer

June Jones, the all-time winningest football coach at the University of Hawai’i, has not completely shut the door on returning as head coach of the Rainbow Warriors program.

According to multiple reports, Jones turned down the offer and the position on Friday afternoon. However, the 68-year-old shared his thoughts late on the opportunity late Friday night, saying that he was “still interested” in the coaching opportunity.

“I am still interested in this job for the people of Hawaii but the job offered to me today there is no way I could accept with the conditions offered me,” Jones said in a tweet.
