Coach Jordan McAlary
JORDAN MCALARY THROWS A PASS WHILE AT LOUISIANA IN 2017
Jordan McAlary was a five star recruit according to some services in 2016 when Louisiana head coach Porter Davis came calling. Davis was one of the few head coaches who wanted McAlary due to his stature. At 5'11" many didn't see McAlary as an ideal QB. Davis said the only numbers he cared about were 33 and 107, Jordan's career wins and touchdowns at Central Holmes Christian School in Durant, Mississippi.JORDAN MCALARY THROWS A PASS WHILE AT LOUISIANA IN 2017

McAlary joined Davis' staff at Hawaii as a passing game assistant and was calling the majority of the plays by season's end. McAlary, not yet 25 years old, has been praised by Davis, who retired following the 2023 season. Despite his youth and lack of coaching experience McAlary has caught the attention of a handful of programs and is expected to start interviewing for offensive coordinator jobs post haste.
