The University of Hawaii football team hired Wayne Moses on Friday as assistant coach in charge of running backs. 

Moses has worked at five Pac-12 schools in a coaching career that dates to 1979, when he was at Cal State Fullerton. Moses and UH head coach Norm Chow were on the same staffs at UCLA and USC. 

"Wayne is a tremendous football coach who comes to us with a wealth of experience at both the college and professional levels," Chow said in a statement released through the UH media relations department. "We’re awfully fortunate to have him join our staff. I’ve known Wayne since our USC and UCLA days, and he’s as loyal and hard-working a coach as you’ll find, and who will only make our staff better."

Moses most recently was at Army, where he coached in 2013 under Rich Ellerson, a former UH defensive coordinator. Ellerson was fired in December. 

Moses fills the UH position vacated when Chris Wiesehan resigned to become Temple’s offensive line coach. 

Moses is expected to join the Rainbow Warriors in time for Tuesday’s opening of training camp. 

The Warriors have one coaching vacancy remaining. They are expected to wait until this summer to replace Phil Rauscher, who was not retained as tight ends coach.
