Veteran assistant football coaches George Lumpkin and Greg McMackin were scheduled to interview today as the finalists for the Hawaii head coach position vacated by their former boss, June Jones, a source close to the situation said.
McMackin, who was Jones' defensive coordinator in a 9-4 season in 1999 and 12-1 this past year, is widely considered the leading candidate.
Lumpkin has coached at UH 35 years. The associate head coach handled the Warriors defensive ends last season. He has previously served as defensive coordinator at UH twice, and was acting head coach for several months in the offseason when Jones nearly died in a 2001 car accident. UH will likely announce a choice tomorrow.
