McKnight Hired (Soon)

Stephen Tsai writes that Dennis McKnight is set to be hired as a full-time coach.

"That's what I heard," said McKnight, who will be named the offensive line coach officially.

...

"He always has the little insights from his playing days," right guard John Estes said of the 11-year NFL offensive lineman. "He knows his stuff. He's a very good teacher. He is a good motivator."

(Laupepa) Letuli said: "I like the guy. He's so emotional. He yells and he'll get on my butt a lot of times, which is good. I need someone to push me. He does that."

This coming season, Mc-Knight will have to break in three new starters again.

"People are worried about losing three starters — and they were three great starters — but we have so many young and talented players," McKnight said. "They're all tough, feisty, aggressive guys. The hardest thing will be to narrow the field because only five can play at a time."

Good to have him (officially) aboard. Hope he can move out of his office now.
