June Jones may not end up being Hawaii’s next head coach.

The Rainbow Warriors offered the job to Jones; however, he turned it down because he said the offer was unacceptable.

“Yeah, I still like the job, but I wasn’t really offered a job that was conducive to winning,” Jones told reporters. “How are you going to recruit when you have a 2-year contract? I told Dave, ‘I’ll take a 5-year contract, and you can fire me anytime with no penalty.’ But I said, ‘How are you going to recruit kids when they want to know who’s going to be the head coach in the next 4 or 5 years?’

“I’ve never taken a job that’s been dictated who I can hire and who I can’t hire, and I don’t think any coach in their right mind would accept a job like that. So, yeah, they offered, but it’s unacceptable what they offered.”

Jones played quarterback at Hawaii from 1973-74, and he eventually became the head coach from 1999-2007, finishing with a 76-41 overall record.

Jones says he still wants the job, but it’s up to the university to bring him an offer he’d accept.
