Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Timmy Chang threw an incomplete pass during the Hall of Fame game against the Oakland Raiders in Aug. 2006, in Canton, Ohio.The former record-setting University of Hawaii quarterback is expected to be named to the Nevada coaching staff.

Former record-setting University of Hawaii quarterback Tim Chang is expected to be named to the University of Nevada coaching staff.

Chang, who spent the past season as offensive coordinator at Emory & Henry University in Virginia, would join the Wolf Pack as an inside receivers coach, according to several outlets.

FootballScoop.com was the first to post the report about Chang today.

The Star-Advertiser has been told an official announcement could come early Wednesday.

Under Chang, the Wasps averaged 33 points and 463 yards per game and finished 6-4 this season.

Nevada hired Jay Norvell as head coach Dec. 9.

Chang, who set several NCAA passing records during his stay at UH (2000, 2002-’04), previously coached at Jackson State for two seasons and was an offensive assistant at Southern Methodist. He was married Sunday on the Emory & Henry campus, a spokesman said.

A departure by Chang could open up a spot for Billy Ray Stutzmann to move up to offensive coordinator. Chang succeeded Stutzmann’s brother, Craig, as the Wasps’ offensive coordinator in February.

    Tim Chang is a really nice guy, as is his dad Levi. Tim worked for us for a while in the school and was without fail, polite, caring, and helpful. I wish him the best.

    Couldn’t the caption on the photo have just as easily said “threw a pass” instead of “threw an incomplete pass”? Happy for Tim.

  3. Dai says:

    Good to hear Timmy is moving up the ladder. Hoping he might be able to find his way back home some day. Wishing you the best.

      Nevada must love JJ’s offensive schemes. First they hire Rolo, now Timmy Chang. Different roles, of course, but same system. You’re right, maybe we can steal Timmy for our coaching staff one day.

    Touchdown, Nevada!

    A friend of Levi and MaryAnn from way back when Timmy played in Pop Warner. Does Timmy still have that Sandwich Shop in Honolulu?
