A new head coach will address the newest Hawai'i High School Athletic Association Hall of Honor class.

Greg McMackin is the University of Hawai'i's 21st head football coach, having taken the job this year after the Warriors' historic run to the Sugar Bowl.

McMackin served two stints as the Warriors' defensive coordinator in 1999 and 2007.

This past season, UH improved from 93rd nationally in total defense to 33rd. The

Warriors captured the WAC Championship both years with McMackin on staff. This past year, the UH defense ranked fifth nationally in tackles-for-loss, ninth in sacks, and 11th in interceptions while recording five defensive touchdowns.

In McMackin's first stint, the Warriors finished 9-4, won the Jeep O'ahu Bowl and became the NCAA's all-time turnaround team after a winless 0-12 season the year before. His defense, which improved from 109th to 35th nationally, accounted for five touchdowns, 17 interceptions, 33 sacks and 17 fumble recoveries.
