HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – The University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors Football team added a familiar face to its coaching staff as spring training continues.
Head Coach Timmy Chang added Lance Samuseva to his staff as the defensive line coach, replacing Jeff Reinbold.
Samuseva was a standout defensive lineman for the ‘Bows from 2000 to 2003, and is “happy to be home.”
“I’m just excited to get to work, man,” he said.
“We have practice six for these guys, or practice seven, been good, been going good,” Samuseva said. “Guys been working, young group, you know, we just wanna be masters of our technique, being really sound in our technique. I got a bunch of young guys with not much playing experience, so (there’s) a lot of development.”
This is Samuseva’s second stint as a UH coach, and he was part of Norm Chow’s coaching staff in 2014 and 2015.
