Knight came to Georgia Tech after two seasons under head coach Geoff Collins at Temple (2017-18). He began at Temple as a quality-control assistant before being promoted twice — first to director of player personnel and then to outside linebackers coach/defensive recruiting coordinator.

Shortly after Knight and assistant head coach David Turner parted ways with Georgia Tech, Yellow Jackets head coach Brent Key was quick to make a new hire. 

Former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket Marco Coleman was hired away from Michigan State and is going to be the new defensive line coach for Tech. Coleman is known as a good recruiter and has a chance to be a high-impact coaching hire for this team.
