OSU Insider: Inside The MASSIVE Details Of Jim Knowles To Penn State

[@79SteelyMatt]

We will survive not the first coach we have ever lost Scoop Family ☀️⛽️🍨🖖🏿🖖 Champs🏆

[@floydtucker2200]

Also Ohio State puts people's careers on a pedal stool!!!! Jim Knowles might have had the number one defense this year, but he never would have had it if it wasn't for Ohio State players!!

[@ua1985cat]

*pedestal

[@kaosbullard1]

Amen brother!!

[@johnevans2748]

Exactly thats why we dont care if he left. We still gonna have a top D next year too

[@MaxwellOrr]

@@ua1985cat pedal stool is hilarious 😂😂

[@kaosbullard1]

Lets make an example of Penn State this upcoming season!

[@codyroesser6830]

Next man up buckeye family. We will be alright I hope we bring a guy in that has Ohio roots

[@edwardshields2777]

Congrats on 35k!!

[@aaronwjacobs]

Any thoughts on promoting Tim Walton instead? His recruiting has been great and the players really seem to like him.

[@ammielcoats9762]

Plus he has DC experience

[@MDbaseball3]

Wouldn’t mind it. Seems like a stud

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Jeff Hafley leaving after 2019 way more impactive.

[@kennethchapman9564]

The Ohio State Buckeyes will survive the loss of a coach. Saban survived this on a yearly basis. Day demanded change after the first Oregon game and clearly this is at the root of Knowles leaving to a lesser program at Penn State. Penn State paid the max and Knowles has never called plays against an offense as talented and lethal as the Buckeye's offense. Its not about Xs and Os its about Bobbies and Joes. Ryan Day has grown and learned a lot during this playoff run. He definitely learned not to be afraid of anyone and to open up the offense and whip everyone and have a defense that throttles everyone.The defense is not the reason the Buckeyes beat PSU every year with very rare exceptions. The Buckeyes have had better talent for decades. Thats not going to change.

[@LifestyleTuneup]

Google: Guerreri. Google: how to pronounce “Guerreri Sounds like: Gary-ary Hope this helps! 😂

[@mckeviej]

Goo-rerry lol thats how i remember😂

[@kirkli1073]

While I appreciate what JK has done for the Buckeyes in the last three years, I would love to see the Buckeyes always beat the Penn St. by double digits in the coming years! I also wonder how long JK would stay at that team with that head coach? Go Bucks!

[@johnhaversack1634]

Boo hoo..cry baby cry...as if Ohio State doesnt get coaches/ OH YEA LJ...from Penn State..go enjoy your title at least until Michigan beats you this year..then you can fire Day...lol.

[@zubrickadvisors6742]

We at Michigan are so glad Knowles is gone. Now we can beat Penn State forever too.

[@midnightmotorinn6758]

HAHA... hit that out of the park.

[@johnhaversack1634]

13-10 Michigan..looks to me defense wasnt the problem.

[@floydtucker2200]

So you guys are saying that Ryan Day was the one who wanted the cage rushing and other things, but menece 2 sports said it was the other way around and that's why LJ was bumping heads with JK because it was hard for LJ to sell that to his recruits which makes sence. Either way Ohio State will be just fine!!! O-H

[@lajtieric133]

Ryan day is going to go on a crazy run I've been saying it

[@nealharris2381]

[@StephenFlynn-xl2fw]

Knowles will require ten moving vans. Massive.

[@RedSaunaBuckeye]

Love the show best podcast along with the Buckeye Boyz best info out there 😊

[@stompingpeak2043]

Jim leaving is the definition of soft to me

[@williamjackson3617]

Good Luck to Jim. I believe that he is from Pennsylvania! I am sure that it is not the money 💰.

[@curtishatem6739]

Guerreri & Walton co dcs

[@joelbrooks3198]

Number 1 defense in the country before the Oregon game? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah of course because who did they play? Marshall, Western Michigan, Michigan State, Akron, etc. Come on!

[@genghiskhan9269]

So what? DANTONIO LEFT AFTER 2002 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2002 FOR CINCINNATI AND WOUND UP AT MICHIGAN STATE AND BEAT URBAN MEYER OUT OF A BIG TEN TITLE IN URBANS SECOND YEAR. DANTONIOS THUG DEFENSE TRIED TO INJURE BRAXTON MILLER. NO ONE COACH OR PLAYER WILL EVER BE ABOVE THE PROGRAM THAT WOODY HAYES BUILT

[@DERISNER]

Here`s my thing: these guys sign a contract. they don`t sign a "well-I`ll-stick-around-maybe-until-something-better-comes-along." It`s a freakin` contract. That USED to mean something. I`ve signed contracts and always honored them. I say, bring back honor! Honor the damn contract YOU agreed to.

[@DERISNER]

A tiff in the Woody and Jimmy packed his tofu and bagged ass outta town. That`s it, folks. It`s that simple. Get over it and move on. we`ll be fine.

[@BIGBUCK20]

It obvious that Jim Knowles wanted out based on the reasons discussed. Next DC up!

[@johnwakefield9378]

I am a big fan of good defense, and new to buckeye football, but feel most fans under value defense. Big loss but bucks will move forward highly successfully as Ryan day and great players will always win. But thin margin between natty’sand being top 5 team is where guys like Knowles can be missed vs highly competent DC’s. Good luck and go bucks.

[@duanecarter7954]

You ever heard of the "Silver Bullets"? Well under Knowles we were the Silver Blanks until Laurinaitis came and Johnson stepped in.

[@RobertTipton-zw2wu]

You STILL have to recruit the talent!

[@oldben1800]

they need to promote Matt already

[@johnhaversack1634]

All these Buckeye pods criticizing/putting down Penn State for trying to do what Ohio State has done to them/others for decades.

[@lajtieric133]

Agreed

[@Choclate_Chip_Hoochie]

Ryan Day managing Matty G? You mean handcuff

[@bobwhite2]

He has HC aspirations.

[@aTxBuckeye512]

If the details are true, it sounds like a Day issue. Why would you hire a guy for his scheme and then not run it, only to realize you really do need to? Sounds like the Michigan game where Ryan changed the offense away from Chip’s scheme. Also consider the botched recruiting/handling of Ewers. Should we say we won a Natty in spite of Ryan Day? If you’re truly a CEO coach, hire guys to let them do what they do. Seems to be a pattern here.

[@jacobdecot8336]

@@aTxBuckeye512 Don’t be that fan. Ewers left high school a year early to get $1 million dollars and he transferred to the place he always wanted to be. Also, head coaches are allowed to have a say in game plans, scheme, etc. OSU should have beaten TTUN and Ryan is responsible for overthinking that game plan. However, he also put together game plans that helped OSU win the national title. Saying OSU won it in spite of him is a lazy take.

[@JimmyVespe]

All I know is we won with a four down front. When we went to 3 down at times we were getting shredded.

[@aTxBuckeye512]

You can disagree but I don’t think it’s a lazy take. It’s based on the information. Time will tell. I don’t think Day is a dynasty type coach, ala Saban. He needed absolutely every piece of the puzzle he had this year to get it done and he’s not going to have that every year. So if he can reload his staff (especially if Chip leaves) and return to the mountain top again, I’ll admit I was wrong about him. I don’t dislike him. I’m just not ready to coronate him as the second coming of Saban after winning his first championship with the most talented roster and best coaching staff in college football.

[@duanecarter7954]

They did run Knowles scheme and it got torched. Why the h*ll you think they changed? Knowles defense is a gimmick defense that's why Day listened to Johnson and went back to 4 D-linemen. Glad the dude's gone.

[@duanecarter7954]

All I know is, Penn State's gonna have to up their NIL because players gotta stay at least three years to learn his scheme.

[@apkn1955]

Not as long as Franinfart keeps screwing things up. Defense was never PSU issue.

No good wide receivers and Tyler Warren is gone.

[@ckl5590]

Dude, you couldn’t even win this year with the easiest path by far. Have a seat.

[@mikereeves282]

Not sure what all the hype about PennSt is…..they are not returning the rosters like TTUN did in 2023 and OSU did in 2024…..not even close. Knowles D is very complex and took OSU 3 years and a roster on D that had NFL players at every position.

[@peterwhite7428]

You’re gonna lose a lot more to the team that got Knowles

[@HughMorristheJoker]

Penn State is an inspiration to all the mediocre folks out there
