I don't believe for a second Knowles would leave Ohio state for the same job elsewhere.

[StripedSooner]

man, i'll believe it when i see it, but this would be extremely interesting. i'd imagine this would mean BV is looking for one of the few guys he'd actually feel comfortable just handing the defense to, and he's looking to actually focus hard on just being a HC at that point. fascinating option to think about, and this kind of shows a look behind the curtain in the strategy going forward, regardless of if it happens or not. big story.

Knowles makes 2.2M at Oh St! Baker from Lsu makes the most $ at 2.5M, so OU would have to pay Knowles 3M

If Knowles isn't the new DC, I believe BV would be the DC and promote Skalski as LB coach.

Iowa's Phil Parker. Jim Knowles maybe, only because we seem to be waiting. But Phil would make sense too because the time it would take to put the deal together to steal him from Iowa.

I really want to give BV the benefit of the doubt but it seems he's at the end of a rope heading into this next season. Whomever is the new DC, he has one year to make a significant improvement or Joe C. has to make a change at the top. That right there limits the options and attractiveness of the position with OU.

I will be honest I want either Jim Knowles or will muschamp

[craigmorris]

Zach Arnett is the DC at UNLV with Dan Mullen

[NicholasSellers-tzuf]

My bad I finally subscribed. Thought I did before.

BV is fighting for his job. He’s not going to bring someone in that wants to change everything. There’s nothing wrong with the defense. Either BV runs it himself, Brandon Hall, or Wes Goodwin. Hall and Goodwin already know BV’s defense and the language. Players wouldn’t have to learn new schemes and language in a critical year.

[BlazerMayfield]

First off it’s a bad move from both sides.
1. Knowles is set at Ohio state with how much he’s making and the recruits he’s already got on that roster.
2. BV has spent the past three years teaching his defense to these players. And going into a make or break season why would he want to hang his HC job on a new guy/ new scheme after getting all these great players up to speed on his whole scheme.
Doesn’t make any sense. Sorry

[TheBitcoinBoomer]

Sark to the NFL?? Where did that rumor come from?? He owns Austin! The Mayor gave him the key and said, It’s yours!” He ain’t going nowhere!

[garycrawfordcrawford]

Ok, my CBD gummy has hit me. So Knowles is coming to OU? GREAT!!

[SneeUnit]

We can get an expensive DC and no capable TE’s?

[ryanschieber]

Wats the connection between venebles and knowles?

[Frank-mp]

Let's Rock. Is he REALLY A GOOD-win❓️

[lloydgrissom]

I thought Lauranitis was the LB coach at Ohio State

[SoonerDoomer]

Absolutely no way Oklahoma could make this happen.

[KillerBrees]

This makes no sense. Why in the world would Jim Knowles leave Ohio State to make a lateral move to a program that is well behind where OSU is now?? Again, makes ZERO sense. That would be like a coordinator from OU making a lateral move to West Virginia - oh wait….

How many of you wanted Jim Knowles before his gig at Ohio State? Yeah, that’s what I thought. If these rumors are true, Jim has got a decision to make. I guess it’s possible that he’d move OU for family reasons. I could also see him moving on if Day high tails it to the NfL. Per a poster on the OU board, Jim has also been offered the Clemson DC job. So BV and DS are fighting for the same guy. If true about Clemson, then the story about Jim’s fiancée not wanting to move out of OK is hogwash
