Penn State's problem hasn't been defense for a while

No one is going to attack this man for going to a rival team for more money.

Yet if he were a player all manners of insults would rain upon him.

I think you're gonna be off target on this one. OSU fans on twitter are not happy.

Wasn’t that long ago that 3M was a huge head coach salary

That’s certainly going to fix their annual problem of a shite offense

Let's go! Love the hire. Just need a competent WR coach and I'm more than happy with where we'll stand heading into 2025.

Yeah of course they will be.

I'm talking outside the effected fanbase like what happens any time a player does this same thing.

I don't pity OSU fans at all because they bought 4 key guys that without them they wouldn't have made the playoffs.. talk much won the championship.

They lived by that sword now they want to cry about it?

Hope Oregon buys that WR too

Um...what? That's certainly not true based on the response I'm seeing from Ohio State fans on social media. Likewise, if Nick Sheridan or Kane Wommack were to lateral their way over to Auburn or Tennessee, I'd be beside myself with anger.

Day had to get involved with the defense after the Oregon loss. It wouldn't surprise me at all. It's going to be funny watching him work with Franklin next season.

I’m not convinced Knowles is an elite DC.

Hes good for sure, but 3 mill/year good?? Idk

He did not have good game plans vs Michigan except for this year


I think OSU’s success this year on D was more due to the players than to Knowles.

tOSU should go after Matt House. Would be a great hire for opposing offenses.

I’m not happy about this, but Knowles is from the State of Pennsylvania, plus I’m sure Ohio State didn’t want to match that price. The issue becomes, I hope we can find a good DC now to replace him!

Do they copy the method they used last year by targeting a head coach who is on the hot seat? Brent Pry is a name that comes to mind and was a solid DC

Because of the Larry Johnson situation, right?

Sounds like Jim is going home, gets more $, and doesn’t have to deal with/ LJ anymore.
