Hawai'i defensive line coach Jeff Reinebold yesterday accepted a job on June Jones' coaching staff at Southern Methodist.

Reinebold said he will depart for Dallas today. For now, his wife and children will keep their rental unit in Waimanalo.

Reinebold is the fourth assistant from last year's UH staff to join SMU, following Dan Morrison, Wes Suan and Dennis McKnight.

Reinebold recruited nearly the entire 2007 UH secondary — safety Jacob Patek, cornerbacks Myron Newberry and Gerard Lewis, and nickelback Ryan Mouton.
