When the Pac-10 had two fewer teams, he played for UCLA on an offensive line nicknamed the "Huge Corporation." "We were one of the biggest (lines) in the country," Kuehn said. And the heaviest player was Mike Horton at 265. Kuehn weighed 245 when he was drafted by the Seahawks in 1976, little more than skin and bones compared to a big-bellied lineman like Aaron Gibson, who played at 427 pounds as a senior at Wisconsin in 1998. Gibson was a relatively svelte 387 for the draft, when he was chosen in the first round by Detroit. "It used to be that you could play with a guard who was 6-2 and between 240 and 260," said Tom Lovat, Seahawk offensive line coach. "Now you wouldn't even look at a guy like that. "They have to be in the 280s before you would even consider them." Notes: Kuehn resigns as Cedarcrest football coach after 6 years By Danny O'Neil, Seattle Times staff reporter Art Kuehn resigned as Cedarcrest football coach after six years coaching the Red Wolves. Kuehn is pursuing a master's degree in educational administration and next fall the time demands of an internship won't leave time to coach football. "It was just going to be too much for me to do," Kuehn said. Eric Hanson has been named new head coach. Hanson was a Cedarcrest assistant for the past two seasons and was offensive coordinator in 2000, when the Red Wolves were 4-5, matching their best record in four seasons in KingCo 3A. Kuehn had a record of 18-37 in six seasons and earned a state-playoff berth in 1996. He has lived in the Puget Sound area since he was acquired by the Seahawks in 1976. He played seven seasons for the Seahawks. "We're the small fish in the big pond as we just don't have the number of kids the other schools do," Kuehn said. But Cedarcrest will return at least eight starters from last season's team. Hanson, 30, played offensive line at Eastern Washington from 1989-1991. He was an assistant at Eatonville and Federal Way.
