84 Days Coach Brian Knorr

Post by ANGCatFan »

84 is an open roster spot, so I will look at one of the coaches.

Coach Knorr is the newest addition to the coaching staff and will be Arizona's special team coordinator. He is a 1986 grad of the United States Air Force Academy where he was a QB and team captain during one of the winningest periods of Air Force Football. Knorr started his coaching career at Air Force and has coached primarily on defense, but has both head coaching and special teams experience. Here are his coaching stops from his bio:
2017 Arizona, special teams coordinator
2016 Ohio State, quality control (kicking)
2014-15 Indiana, defensive coordinator (DE/OLBs)
2013 Wake Forest, defensive coordinator (OLB)
2012 Wake Forest, defensive coordinator (ILB)
2011 Wake Forest, co-defensive coordinator (ILB)
2008-10 Wake Forest, wide receivers
2007 Air Force, assistant head coach/inside linebackers
2005-06 Air Force, outside linebackers/strong safeties
2001-04 Ohio, head coach
1999-00 Ohio, defensive coordinator (ILB)
1995-98 Ohio, inside linebackers
1992-94 Air Force, JV/varsity assistant
Knorr has to be an upgrade at special teams since for the past 4 years we have managed with a recruiter running special teams and every coach kind of pitching in. Last year, as the quality control coordinator for kicking for THE Ohio State Football was his first year full time focused on special teams. If nothing else, Knorr should arrive fresh with Urban Meyer's brain picked for details for special teams. New kickers and a new coach focused on special teams will at least give us a new look this year. Hopefully, the new look is an improvement.

84 is the school record for longest punt set by Bill Hargis at Rice in 1930.

Even before that. Hammerschmidt made Crier, and all PAC quality punter as a freshman worse each year. Won't even get into Zendejas.

Why RichRod and Stoops never cared about ST has always been a mystery.
