HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii coach Greg McMackin is retiring after a disappointing 6-7 season and missing the postseason for the second time in his four years with the Warriors.

The announcement was made after McMackin met with his players and staff privately Monday. Assistant coach Rich Miano will serve as interim coach until a replacement is selected.

McMackin just completed the fourth year of his five-year contract that pays him a base pay of $1.1 million annually.

He was 29-25 overall at Hawaii, including 0-2 in bowl games, with one winning season in 2010.

The Warriors lost at home Saturday to Brigham Young, 41-20, finishing one win shy of earning an automatic berth to their hometown Hawaii Bowl.
