Murray: Knuth swings for fences in hiring Norvell

If you were given one at-bat in the big leagues would you choke up on the bat and try to slap a single through the infield or would you grip it and rip it and try to pound the ball over the fence?

Wolf Pack AD Doug Knuth was faced with a question akin to that scenario over the last two weeks when he bounced from airport to airport to interview candidates for the Nevada football job.

Knuth could take the safe route and hire a coach who would regularly lead Nevada to six wins per year and a spot in a bowl game but never get it to a championship level.
