2012 Hawaii Warriors football team
The 2012 Hawaii Warriors football team represented the University of Hawaii at Manoa in the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season. They were led by first-year head coach Norm Chow and played their home games at Aloha Stadium. They were first year members of the Mountain West Conference. They finished the season 3–9, 1–7 in Mountain West play to finish in a tie for ninth place.
New head coach
The university hired Norm Chow, who is a native Hawaiian and was most recently offensive coordinator at Utah, as its head coach in the 2011–12 offseason to replace the retiring Greg McMackin. With Chow's hiring, the Warriors have abandoned the run and shoot offense that McMackin's predecessor June Jones installed and are instead running a pro-style offense.
