Former Portland Timbers' defender Cameron Knowles became the newest member of the Timbers' coaching staff. The standout back might well have been playing on the side instead of coaching were it not for the terrible luck of a broken leg suffered in a 2009 match against Montreal. Knowles was a quality back in my opinion, and the Timbers last USL season suffered much from his absence. It's great to see that the club has decided to give him a try on the coaching staff. Particularly in that we've got the hardest work to do in the position he played. I think this is a brilliant choice and a sign of the club's loyalties. I'm sure they wouldn't have hired him unless they had utmost confidence he'd bring something important to the table. That being said, he's been part of the Timbers' family and they've done well to look for a place he can contribute.
