Ex-SMU head coach June Jones embracing new role as high school offensive coordinator

Former SMU head coach June Jones is still on the sidelines.

No, he's not coaching at the FBS level this year. But he is serving as the offensive coordinator at Kapolei High School in Hawaii.

Jones applied for the vacant head-coaching job at Hawaii, but the Warriors eventually hired Nick Rolovich. He accepted the position at Kapolei in January and is reportedly enjoying it so far.

Jones even has a star sophomore quarterback in Taulia Tagovailoa, who already holds an offer from Hawaii, and is hard at work implanting concepts from his Run N' Shoot offense.
