McMackin Suspended for 30 days
In an attempt to make right, Hawaii’s coach Greg McMackin faces a 30 day suspension without pay and has volunteered to take an additional 7 percent pay cut from his $1.1 million salary for making his “little faggot dance” comment when rehashing the pregame events before last year’s Hawaii Bowl.
Notre Dame was upset with the comments, “Coach McMackin demonstrated poor judgment when, while making comments critical of our football program, he used a derogatory word,” Weis said. But the program accepts McMackin’s apology and wants to move on from this unfortunate event.
McMackin will lose roughly $169,000 from his salary this year. This is nothing compared to what he lost regarding his reputation and respect.
