The only ones that I was "meh" about were English and Knox. English has a a lot of experience but I'm not sure how motivated he'll be on the trail. I would have thought we could get someone better. Knox knows the system and maybe that is a positive. I hope he can connect and recruit here.
B+
Could move to an A for me based on what happens when they hit the road together.
I watched the Gator Bowl game and I can tell you, Knox is motivated and will do a good job here. He coached his ass off in that game - a game where the players lost their head coach and played w/ a back up QB, they could have easily gone in the tank. Credit Knox for that.
English? All I know is he was a head coach for 5 years at Eastern Michigan, getting the job at the age of 40. He didn't do well, but having a former head coach on your staff is a big deal. He's been a DC at a major program (Michigan & Louisville) as well. He's not 50 yet, so I would think he's still motivated.
