夏威夷州檀香山市县檀香山市前夏威夷大学主帅琼·琼斯10月29日去世享年73岁：2007年率队12胜0负创校史不败赛季
前夏威夷大学与南卫理公会大学橄榄球主教练琼·琼斯于10月29日去世，享年73岁。他的“跑轰认证”教练项目当天在社交媒体上宣布了这一消息，称琼斯最大的遗产不是纪录与冠军，而是他信任过的人、给过的机会和改变过的人生。琼斯球员时代曾先后效力于俄勒冈大学、夏威夷大学和波特兰州立大学，在那里学到了以传球为核心的跑轰进攻体系，此后长期在职业队担任助理教练，直到1999年接手夏威夷大学，拿到第一份大学主帅工作。他到来之前，夏威夷大学刚经历0胜12负的赛季；他执教首季就带队取得9胜4负，创下大学橄榄球史上单季最大反弹。此后他的球队年年位居全国传球进攻前列，四分卫蒂米·张成为NCAA历史传球码数王。琼斯执教生涯的巅峰是2007赛季：在海斯曼奖候选人科尔特·布伦南率领下，夏威夷大学取得12胜0负的校史首个不败常规赛，并首次打进BCS碗赛糖碗，最终以10比41负于佐治亚大学。他在夏威夷大学执教9个赛季，6次打进碗赛，多次单季胜场上双，培养出5名全美最佳阵容球员、52名分区最佳阵容球员和16名NFL选秀球员。夏威夷大学在社交媒体上悼念他是“把夏威夷橄榄球带到前所未有高度的领袖、教练、导师和革新者”。
Honolulu, Honolulu County, Hawaii: Former University of Hawaii Head Coach June Jones Dies Oct. 29 at 73: Led Team to 12-0 Record in 2007, the School's First Undefeated Season
Former University of Hawaii and Southern Methodist University football head coach June Jones died on October 29 at age 73. His Run and Shoot Certification coaching program announced the news on social media that day, saying Jones's greatest legacy was not records and championships but the people he believed in, the opportunities he gave and the lives he changed. As a player, Jones played quarterback for Oregon, Hawaii and Portland State, where he learned the pass-centered run-and-shoot offense; he then served for years as an assistant coach at the professional level before taking over at Hawaii in 1999, his first college head coaching job. Before his arrival, Hawaii had just gone through a 0-12 season; in his first season he led the team to 9-4, the biggest single-season turnaround in college football history. His teams then ranked among the nation's top passing offenses every year, and quarterback Timmy Chang became the NCAA's all-time passing yardage leader. The peak of Jones's coaching career came in the 2007 season: led by Heisman Trophy finalist Colt Brennan, Hawaii went 12-0 for the school's first undefeated regular season and reached a BCS bowl, the Sugar Bowl, for the first time, ultimately losing to Georgia 41-10. In nine seasons at Hawaii, he reached six bowl games, posted multiple double-digit-win seasons, and produced five All-Americans, 52 all-conference performers and 16 NFL draft picks. The University of Hawaii mourned him on social media as 'a leader, coach, mentor and innovator who helped bring Hawaii Football to unprecedented heights.'
