Yet despite having the option to play college football just about anywhere else in the country, Chang chose to commit to UH and suit up for June Jones, the man whom he beat out for the vacant head coaching position earlier this year.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97986\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/changs_island_day4.151321.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97986\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/changs_island_day4.151321.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1000\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/changs_island_day4.151321.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/changs_island_day4.151321.jpg?resize=360,450 360w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/changs_island_day4.151321.jpg?resize=768,960 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/changs_island_day4.151321.jpg?resize=335,419 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Among Timmy Chang\u2019s biggest and proudest supporters are wife Sherry and their five children.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In recalling his reason for staying home and playing for UH, Chang points to Jones\u2019 wide-open offense and how his imagination as a young field general was captured by his former coach, who took a winless team in 1998 and turned it into a conference champion the following season.<\/p>\n<p>That ability to miraculously right a team\u2019s fortunes in a single year, and do it with pass-friendly prowess, was both inspirational and attractive to Chang. But what really sealed the deal for him was the opportunity to do it all in front of the home crowd.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw that excitement in the stands during my senior year at Saint Louis, and I saw the state rally around that team. I even saw 40,000 people at Aloha Stadium throwing confetti onto the field,\u201d Chang fondly recalls. \u201cSo, I thought to myself, \u2018Hey, I have a chance to play in a lot of cool places, but there\u2019s nothing like staying home and representing the state.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_97987\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-97987\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1228\" class=\"size-full wp-image-97987\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg 800w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg?resize=293,450 293w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg?resize=768,1179 768w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg?resize=667,1024 667w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/chang_focus_usc.jpg?resize=335,514 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-97987\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In Chang\u2019s five seasons at the helm of the Rainbow Warrior offense, he passed for 17,072 yards and 117 touchdowns while leading the team to victory in both the 2003 and 2004 Hawai\u2018i Bowl games.<br \/><\/p><\/div>\n<p>Recapturing that glory of yesteryear is what drives the Rainbow Warrior boss these days. It\u2019s why he returned to the islands as the program\u2019s 25th head coach after spending the last decade on the mainland as a collegiate assistant.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s why he\u2019ll do just about anything to bring the magic back to M\u0101noa.<\/p>\n<p>To accomplish that, Chang knows he\u2019s going to have to make smart calls moving forward. He also understands that he needs to be a figure in whom the players can trust and believe in \u2014 and someone whose winning ways as a former quarterback rubs off on his players. Those favorable traits of his, which he\u2019s been showcasing since his prep days as a Crusader, are what he\u2019s banking on as he transitions into a full-time head coach operating within his dream job.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was 18, I was just trying to be the best quarterback I could be and trying to make the best long-term decisions and hopefully make some good decisions along the way,\u201d says Chang. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of the same thing now. I\u2019m a first-year head coach and I\u2019m trying to make long-term decisions, but at the same I\u2019m trying to make really good decisions as we climb as a program and try to establish ourselves as one of those dominant Hawai\u2018i teams.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, helping the program reach that kind of success again means in part persuading the state\u2019s standout high school players to, just as he did two decades ago, choose the path of the Rainbow Warriors. Relishing the challenge, Chang believes he and his staff can ultimately convince some of Hawai\u2018i\u2019s homegrown talent that the grass is just as green in M\u0101noa as it is anywhere else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSure we\u2019d like to be chosen first, but all we need is at least one of the big ones in Hawai\u2018i to say, \u2018Hey, I\u2019m going to come in and represent the state\u2019 \u2014 just like how I did, and then other players followed along,\u201d says Chang.<\/p>\n<p>To his credit, the head coach has already been expanding his outreach efforts in Hawai\u2018i\u2019s communities and stressing the importance for tomorrow\u2019s Rainbow Warrior to believe he has a future in the islands beyond his college-playing days. Additionally, Chang has been helping to create a sense of unity among existing players, fans and the general public. This is clear from the team\u2019s oft-repeated mantra of \u201cDa Braddahhood,\u201d a pidginized reference to the players growing sense of family and lifelong commitment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDa Braddahhood is not just a short-term thing, it\u2019s a forever thing,\u201d says Chang when asked to explain the concept that was developed by players and the school\u2019s athletic department. \u201cBut it also includes everybody in the state. We want them to grasp it, rally behind it and come be a part of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all in this together,\u201d he adds. \u201cThe whole thing that I\u2019ve been doing is trying to make sure that everybody feels like a part of this team. That\u2019s the biggest thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As natural as Chang is at the sport, it\u2019s important to note that he didn\u2019t begin playing organized football until his early teens. Up until then, his focus in athletics was primarily twofold \u2014 basketball and baseball \u2014 despite spending much of his youth serving as a ball boy for his father, Levi, a school principal and basketball coach who also worked football games as an Interscholastic League of Honolulu official.<\/p>\n<p>But all that changed once the Waipi\u2018o Gentry native entered Saint Louis as a seventh-grader and Levi green-lighted his gridiron participation. At first, the youngster wanted to play defensive back \u201cbecause it looked like an athletic position.\u201d However, his PE coach, who also served as the intermediate team\u2019s offensive coordinator, thought otherwise and convinced him that he could put his baseball arm to better use by operating behind center. Chang credits that teacher and coach, Doug Frias, as well as the tutelage received under passing guru Vinny Passas, with his development into a bona fide quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Almost immediately, Chang\u2019s performances on the field were nothing short of sensational. In his eighth- and ninth-grade seasons, he led his teams to titles. The same thing happened during his sophomore and junior years as he capped off those campaigns with Prep Bowl victories. Finally in his senior season, Chang put an exclamation point on a sterling prep career by marching the Crusaders to the first-ever Hawai\u2018i High School Athletic Association State Football Championship. Along the way, he threw for just over 8,000 yards and a staggering 113 touchdown passes \u2014 64 of which came during his final campaign. Those TD numbers remain state records to this day.<\/p>\n<p>His outstanding play only continued at UH, where in five seasons, Chang passed for an astonishing 17,072 yards and 117 touchdown strikes \u2014 the former total placing him second to Houston\u2019s Case Keenum in NCAA Division I history, while the latter leaving him in the 11th spot all-time for most TD tosses. More importantly, his passing heroics produced wins for his team \u2014 highlighted by the Rainbow Warriors\u2019 victories in the 2003 and 2004 Hawai\u2018i Bowl games, in which Chang was named MVP and co-MVP, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Ever humble, Chang is quick to credit others with his success on the gridiron. They include everyone from \u201cthe Good Man Upstairs who put me on the path with really good people around and I got to learn to play football at a very high level early on,\u201d to studying under and playing for a few of the game\u2019s very best coaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can always tell when you got really good coaches because the future coaches of the profession fall from their trees,\u201d he observes. \u201cI was under June, I was under Cal and Ron Lee, and I was under Vinny Passas, and that\u2019s kind of what grew me into what I am today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Chang\u2019s studious mind and determined makeup were also critical in his development. After all, others have played for and been tutored by these same coaches and more, but not many have come close to enjoying the type of success Chang had on the field as a player.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that my dad used to talk about is mental toughness \u2014 just outworking people, always being diligent, always being smart, always using your mind. That\u2019s what carries you further,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/screen-shot-2022-08-24-at-8.11.56-am.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/screen-shot-2022-08-24-at-8.11.56-am.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"461\" height=\"466\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-97989\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/screen-shot-2022-08-24-at-8.11.56-am.png 461w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/screen-shot-2022-08-24-at-8.11.56-am.png?resize=445,450 445w, https:\/\/hawaii.carpentermediagroup.com\/midweekpro\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2022\/08\/screen-shot-2022-08-24-at-8.11.56-am.png?resize=335,339 335w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 461px) 100vw, 461px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wasn\u2019t the biggest quarterback, I wasn\u2019t the fastest quarterback, and I probably didn\u2019t have the strongest arm,\u201d he continues, \u201cbut by just being smart about things, to keep coming, to keep having that work ethic so that you\u2019re not outworked by anybody, that\u2019s the kind of mentality that I had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the type of mental toughness that Chang hopes will be on display among his players \u2014 both when they kick off their season against the visiting Commodores on Saturday, and beyond.
