Run-and-shoot innovator Davis joins UH staff

HONOLULU — Darrel “Mouse” Davis, known as the architect of the run-and-shoot offense, has been hired by Hawaii as assistant coach in charge of special teams, reuniting him with Warriors coach June Jones, the university announced Thursday. Jones’ teams have put up record offensive numbers using the run-and-shoot since he arrived in Honolulu in 1999. “I can’t wait to tee it up and get after it,” Davis, 71, said in a news release. Davis is coming off his first season as coach of the San Diego Riptide of arenafootball2, in which he guided the team to an 8-8 record and second-place tie in the league’s West Division. “He has been like a mentor to me, and I think our players will really respond to him,” said Jones, who also played for Davis at Portland State. Davis and Jones also worked together on the coaching staffs of the Houston Gamblers (1984), and Denver Gold (1985) of the USFL and with the Detroit Lions (1989-90) and Atlanta Falcons (1994-96) in the NFL. Davis replaces Tyson Helton, who left Hawaii earlier this year to take a similar position at Memphis.
