Knights Move To Big East, Hire Jones
Orlando, Florida - The world of college football has been shaken up by conference realignment, including a move to the Big East for the Knights. The Knights will play in a newly formed East division as they move from Conference USA with foes such as Southern Methodist, Houston, and Marshall.
In other news, the Knights, who have offensively struggled over the past few years, have hired Offensive Coordinator Dakota Jones. This is Jones' first collegiate job, but he says he will make the most of his opportunity.
"I'm very excited to come here and coach offensively," said Jones. "I plan to make subtle tweaks to the style of the offense so we can punch the ball into the endzone more often."
