It’s official. Greg McMackin is out.

But he’s “retiring,” not resigning.

UH Athletic Director Jim Donovan and UH Manoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw gave brief remarks thanking McMackin for his service.

McMackin got up and said just a few words on the matter: ”I have decided to retire from this position at this time. I believe in my players and their potential for success. In their honor I am foregoing a half million dollars in the final year of my contract which I hope will strengthen the program.”

Then he choked up.
