Looks like the money talked, even took a shot at Hawaii's athletic department.
HONOLULU -- The University of Hawaii has offered football coach June Jones a contract that would make him the highest-paid coach in the Western Athletic Conference or the Mountain West Conference.
Hawaii athletic director Herman Frazier told The Honolulu Advertiser the school's president, the UH-Manoa chancellor and himself collectively made the offer.
They made it both to Jones directly and later to his agent Leigh Steinberg.
Jones is traveling to Dallas this weekend to discuss the open head coaching position at SMU.
Jones is coming off the most successful season in UH history, going 12-0 in the regular season before losing to Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
