Pretty new to coaching.  Spent two years as the DL coach at Wagner.  Has been the Panthers DL coach the last two years.  But was a player and captain at Temple when Rhule was the OC there.


 
I thought the name sounded familiar.  He was first-team All-MAC as a senior before being a third-round pick of the Jaguars in 2009.  Played four years for the Jaguars, two for the Broncos then one for the Redskins.  Was selected to several All-rookie teams and was a key player on the Broncos Super Bowl XLVIII team.

Has some familiarity with Rhule besides Carolina, they crossed paths at Temple.  Rhule as offensive assistant and Knighton a player on the DLine.

I'm never going to be surprised when a new head coach hires guys he is familiar working with to fill out his assistant coaching staff.  That head coach needs to ensure everyone is on the same page and is aligned with what the head coach is doing to establish a new identity for a football program.

EDIT:  I will also echo Mav's comment about time being of the essence.  Rhule can't wait around on guys who need a few days to make a decision.

I thought there were better qualified guys at other schools.

These are the first 3 names to come out.  Let's judge the entire staff, as a whole.

Another thing to consider, if Mickey is demanding a salary much higher than Rhule initially expected, then Rhule may have had to go to Plan B and hire Terrence Knighton at the DL coach and not Elijah Robinson (who would cost more).  Think of the assistant coaching staff as a portfolio of capital investments, needing to fit within the budget assigned to Rhule by Trev.
