Previous season
The Rainbow Warriors finished the 2021 season with an overall record of 6–7 (3–5 Mountain West). They were invited and accepted a bid to play the University of Memphis in the Hawaii Bowl, but had to withdraw due to a number of players out to COVID-19.[1][2]
On January 14, 2022, head coach Todd Graham resigned amid reports of player abuse released in a state senate meeting a week prior.[3][4] Days later, former UH coach June Jones expressed interest in the job, submitting an application and garnering support.[5] However, Jones declined the offer from the university, citing that terms offered were unacceptable.[6][7] Former UH quarterback and Colorado State receivers coach Timmy Chang was instead named the 25th head coach in program history on January 22, signing a four-year deal.[8][9]
In regards to the Ching Complex, athletics director David Matlin announced a further planned expansion to 15,000 or 16,000 would be delayed until 2023 due to effects stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the first half of the 2021 home schedule to be played without fans or a limited capacity.[10]
