Thank you for saying “if you don’t wanna be here, go” Birm. I could not agree more. If you don’t want to be here, we don’t want you here. Godspeed and move on. We’re OSU. We don’t play second fiddle to anybody. Day will get the next stud to coordinate the DC. Go Bucks!
Jim Leonard!
Well you do play second fiddle to UM, four years in a row….. and I guess now second fiddle to PSU?
@johnmark4570 you stupid we the national championship and penn state only won one game against us in 20 years
The nice thing about college football is pathetic Michigan fans can hang their hat on a decent little run on OSU but soon enough they'll be the laughingstock of college football again. All that cheating and some NIL money has them delusional.
@@davewatkins1970he said 4 years for a reason. They’ve been dog walked since the Tressel days. We’re just not the same. Little bro can take a seat. 🤡 casuals always expose themselves. Go Bucks!
Knowles is running towards the grind next year and i look forward to running up the score on them next year
I cannot believe he didn’t tell the players…. their reaction on social media tells you all you need to know. that’s crazy to me💯
Pretty classless. I’m seeing a lot of kids upset. Fvcked up.
Sounds like a culture problem at Ohio State.
They just won a championship, calm down. There’s no culture problem because one thing happens. Knowles was leaving anyway. But to do it this way is ugly. Let that just be what it is.
@@mgoboskinice try troll. He’s had issues with LJ for a while and probably didn’t like Day jumping in to help after Ducks part one.
@@daves4589. Good. This way it’s less likely that he’ll take anyone with him
Ive been around for several years and one thing I learned years ago, everyone is replaceable.
O-H
Why are so many people crying about Knowles and bashing him? He was amazing here and I wish him the best! Thanks Jim!
Except against OSU.
Because he took a lateral move to a rival .. like u don’t get it at all?
It’s just the timing…everybody is a free agent - just leaving and not even making a statement
Because he left without telling the players and on celebration day to go coach a rival. It's classless. Just look at the players reactions on social media.
100 percent Birm, everyone is replaceable. Dude over negotiating every year.
Sad to see a coach turn his back on the players. In my opinion, that says a lot.
As a sports fan and understanding how rare championships are for my favorite teams, if you win the whole enchilada and then want to move on I won’t put up any roadblocks, You did your job. Thanks and good luck.
LJ has been recruting the dawgs we see on the DLine for the past decade. He's a legend. Knowles sounds like a headcase. It sounds like OSU was constantly catering to him the past 3 years and he was constantly negotiating for more money and contract extentions. He lead a great defense the past 2 years. The 2024 class was already here when he arrived. OSU will make another great hire and the beat goes on. No one is bigger than the "O".
Thank You for Your Service JK 💯
This is from a Buckeye player. Jim Knowles left not because of a $ 3.1 million deal. OSU matched it! The player stated it was because Knowles wanted the D line coach fired because they did not get along at all! Day wouldn’t fire him. So Knowles left. It’s all over sites saying this. This has been said in past about Knowles and D line coach hated each other.
Larry Johnson Sr. who has the respect of the D-Line because he recruits them and coaches the heck out of them.
🧢
@@Slush23 that is true, but the fact he said nothing to the players on the way out is sad. they balled out for him..
It blows my mind how some of these coaches and players chose to go to lesser programs.
13 TO 10 was not lesser
@@marmar9320you sound stupid national champions, baby
@@marmar9320 big programs count national titles. Catch up
Snap judgment...good riddance. We dealt with 2 years of him figuring out how to use the best talent in the country. He finally figures it out and goes to a lesser rival on our celebration day? Cya
NATIONAL CHAMPIONS LET'S BUILD A DYNASTY SLIMY TIMING BY KNOWLES BUT I'M THANKFUL FOR WHAT HE DID! I TRUST DAY AND OUR PROGRAM THANKS GO BUCKEYES!❤
What a weird move for Knowles. I realize he's from Philly, but doesn’t make a ton of sense.
1) Philly people are usually penn state fans (pittsburgh people are usually pitt fans)
2) hes getting a lot of money
Knowles must’ve been getting career advice from JULIAN FLEMING 🤣🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
it was personal
Thanks fellas. Go BUCKS! ➡🏆💍
I think Guirerri is the guy to replace him. Ryan said a little something extra about him “he’s going to be a star” he can run the system I think and keep cohesion on the staff, he also already has DC experience. This isn’t the end of the world. I just hope they can hold onto Chip, he really made Ryan’s life easier.
Agree. But I also thought we was Knowles guy…
If Matt gets the DC job we keep the same defense and the guys Jim brought with him don’t you think ??
@@Andy-AJC72 he is, but I doubt he would pass up the opportunity to be Ohio State DC to follow Jim and be a safeties coach.
No. We hire experienced coordinators. We don’t hire guys in their first DC job.
Being his mentor, that has to help. Chip won’t stay beyond this year probably though, he is going to get HC offers in college or maybe OC offers in the NFL.
Thats the nature of the business. Go Bucks Day will find another top DC or promote from within. On to 25
What a douche bag move by Knowles to sign with PSU on the day of the celebration. Couldn't wait another day or two. It's a dick move
If Knowles thought they gave up a lot of explosive plays the previous 2 years, wait till hes on the opposing sideline of Day & Co next year.
I expect Day if he has the offense to now throw all over PSU.
Thank you for all tour good work at Ohio st coach Knowles it's ashame you handled your depature in such an immature manner.
Thanks to Coach Knowles😎you did a great job 👏 But this is college football and THEE dynamic of the sport is always moving 😎NEXT MAN UP BUCKEYE NATION 🏆🌹🏆🌹🏆🌹
Ohio State probably knew he was leaving
Ryan Day laid on the love for Matt Guerreri a little thick, which is cool. But makes me think he made known his plan for DC known in a more subtle way.
Totally agree
He knows the Defense. We can’t change our scheme now.
@@BexlyWe could change how it is called, but hard to completely change scheme when most of the players already there know it.
I mean, if your DC leaves because he doesn't have full control of his side of the ball because a position coach has more sway with the HC, you could probably have avoided it.
Let’s Go Penn State!
Nothing like following in the footsteps of Jerry Sandusky
It makes sense for Jim K to move on. You got insane 50% raise. Also, Ohio State has a lot of senior players leaving. He left a legacy here and tries to rebuild at Penn State. Wish him the best luck. We hope that Ohio State continues to make traditional tough defense team in the nation.
He knows Penn State defense probably will be easier to coach.
It never fails success goes to some people's heads. I thought he was under contract. What a joke. He couldn't wait one dam day after the celebration, and to make it worse, he's going to penn state a rival. There's no loyalty to anything anymore. Truly pathetic.
Who's next up?
Low class move by Knowles to announce it in our national championship celebration. Thank you Knowles for your contributions to our National Championship. Now get ready to lose to our Buckeyes every time you play us.
Jack Sawyer had a lot of people in the stands fooled. Heard people saying “omg I can’t believe he’s coming back. “
Im not worried about jim knowles leaving. We hear everytime its about the jimmys and joes not the Xs and Os. Its OSU, they will be fine and i have more confidence in Ryan Day than ever before! Go Bucks🌰🌰
Knowles was the Best DC in college football. Thank You JK
That's why Day had to spend time on the defensive side of the ball last year and this year.
Do you think his relationship with Larry Johnson made his decision easier?
Yes of course
Did I hear right? 30,000 showed for the celebration? I recall the 2002 festivities and it was at least double that (& just as cold)... surprising.
I’m on record as stating Knowles was a Jack Sawyer Miracle Play away from his Defenses giving up every big 4th quarter drive in big games during his 3-year tenure - NEXT‼️
That’s actually a good point. Good job on that.
No different than Alford leaving for UM.
Alford was on the hot seat and didn't get an extension it's completely different
I don’t respect it jim..dont respect it all im sorry i cant…
Go bucks we the champs 🅾️🏆
You want to leave then leave. It's not that you cannot be replaced.
If he was leaving for the nfl that’s one thing but to go to Penn state come on 😂
I just don't understand the move for Knowles. I just know that our Buckeyes need to punish his ass.
We don’t understand it because we wear scarlet glasses. It’s a job for him…
Yall are ungrateful he got yall the natty who cares if he leave be thankful he got yall a natty. Yall think osu is supposed to be this perfect ass team like who do yall think yall are. Leave jim alone and be thankful and sit yall cocky ass down
@stephonewhite9999 No one is ungrateful. You are being idiotic at best. We do think that our team should be perfect. That's why we win. Shut up with your stupid shit.
@stephonewhite9999 Go tell Mommy you want some muffin. What? Are we supposed to be happy that he didn't come to the team celebration without a word? You're so stupid that you can't spell WOW backwards. Idiot.
@stephonewhite9999 What? We are supposed to be happy for him for going to a rival team? Stop being a moron.
What's with all the negative comments? Jim knowles was great for Ohio State! In his three years his defenses continually improved. Which culminated in a dominant 2024 season. Congratulate don't hate. i appreciate what he brought to this team..the defense was solid. They got better and better until they became a dominant unit.
He didn’t like Day or Johnson plain and simple
Exactly. He probably didn't get any backing from Day. And got really tired of dealing with dunb stuff from both LJ and Day.
Thank you Knowles . Good luck at PSU.
Love Knowles. But Penn State we comin' for that a_$ now.
@ you better believe it.
Maybe the issue was Larry Johnson and he didn’t want to deal with him.
More than maybe. And this video ignored it.
Thought he had a contract through the 26 season. So does this mean OSU could force him to stay and chose not to?
Pretty sure Penn State would have to buy it out.
Maybe the differences with Larry Johnson is what caused him to leave. Either way, why not show up for the celebration? I don’t get that.
Especially when he earned it, but maybe he needed to start recruiting for PSU already or sign the deal and start moving.
@@easyenetwork2023Knowles does not recruit. That's well known.
As an outside fan of CFB, why would he leave? More money? Less pressure? Issues with Day? I’m honestly shocked by this news. Y’all will find just as good of a replacement tho
Since 02 we get a natty once per decade. Only 3 seasons of 3 or more losses. We are winners. Thank you JK good luck with PSU we will remain great. Love this team and looking forward to next year.
I think it’s time to ask James L if he understands Knowles defense enough to lead/run it….. and pay him half to find out !
I think it might be LJ possibly getting promoted finally. James L can wait a couple more years unless he interviews well.
Time for the old inflexible cantankerous coaches to be let go!
He's headed to PSU. Not sure why besides differences with Johnson.
That's exactly why but Day and the media are terrified to hold LJ accountable
Well he’s from PA. But honestly if the promote Guerreri that will be more telling. If he can get paid and get his guy a promotion that could be the play
@@AA12Master Yeah, Larry needs to listen to the DC. Whatever he says goes. No reason for the two to be butting heads like they were
@@JoeWill-t5iDay has been good with hires mostly, I trust his judgement.
Why do you want to restart?
No such thing as friends out here. Just business. Look forward to watching OSU handle those Lions next year.
lateral move, he must not have been happy about something
This is insane
Knowles is leaving? Knowles? So he’s the guy.
It's not overshadowed. It's something we need to address now, but whatever. Maybe Jim has a soon-to-be 18 year old girlfriend he just couldn't turn down around State College. Maybe even younger given Penn State's defensive coordinator history.
Congratulations to the NATIONAL CHAMPION OHIO STATE BUCKEYES. Keep celebrating, fill the holes when they pop up, and the train keeps rolling.
Really, kind of a low blow. Though had PSU and OSU played, I might have made the child molesters vs wife beaters joke.
I find it interesting how it was CRICKETS all year regarding some type of internal strife and turmoil between KNOWLES and JOHSON yet as soon as KNOWLES deuces out the theme from everyone is that “THEY HATED EACH OTHER!” 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Huh? lol This has been news, like since he has been there . There is an interview where Larry Johnson was asked about the jack and he got completely disrespectful.
@ Not everyone has “sources,” and I’m nowhere near the only one who has not heard of any drama between these coaches. Sure, no one gets along with everybody on their jobs but this is alarming
@@OliGrant-sw8byIt was all over on podcast after the Oregon game and Ryan Day spent 2 week with the Defense and they had some heated discussions
Go anywhere but to another BIG School is bull----.What a jerk.
Don’t think Knowles wanted to be here anymore!
Good riddance, get lost Knowles.
We RELOAD coaches, too, here in Columbus.
Jim Knowles sister said he was told not to come
You sign a contract thru 2026 and you crossover to team in your conference the Big Ten commissioner should "disallow" him breaking contract and taking same job.
Jim Knowles did a great job. Thanks for your service. But obviously he needed to move on. So just move on
I cant figure out DCs this year. Lots of dcs taking a step back in the programs they are working for. Ou-wv psu-clem OSU-PSU. Everyone of those is a step back in program. Now people could have connections to the places where they went. There are very few places a dc could go and it be a lateral move when leaving OSU. UGA, UM, Texas and maybe Bama. I said maybe Bama only because of the voach there now. Anywhere else is a step down. Not only is PSU no more then ND but maybe even lower.
yall watched bama win all those nattys, well if you were paying attention you would see Saban had to replace his top coordinators every single year because someone was moving on, its part of winning at the highest level
He's kind of been a transient guy. Three years at Oklahoma State, three years at Ohio State. Plus he's a Philly guy.
So he actually moved further away from his fiancée…
He might be on to something.
1) Penn State needs 2 top WRs and 1 top TE, ASAP.
Jim Knowles just took a lot of that from $NIL.
2) Jim Knowles has definitely improved the disaster that was Kerry Coombs, but that doesn’t make him a football savant.
3) Prior to after the Oregon loss, when Nick Saban publicly called Jim Knowles out for being uncreative regarding generating pressure on defense, the defense was seriously underperforming. Give Nick Saban some credit for the turnaround, I’m not kidding. Starting the very next game, they took Saban’s advice and turned their defense around immediately. Dog that Cat Saban was the GOAT for a reason, and I’m a 50 year Ohio State fan who remembers that Cat GOAT as Browns DB Coach.
4) Jim Knowles was underachieving in terms of getting his Best Players on field together at Ohio State instead rigidly playing 4-2-5 and wasting 2 Nationally Top 10 Players in CJ Hicks & Sonny Styles so far. They’ve vastly underperformed but it’s hard with room for only 1 OLB.
5) Jim Knowles pissed off Larry Johnson for 3 years by handcuffing his DEs to only use cage rushes.
6) I’m serious, had it not been for Nick Saban bringing out how badly the defense was underperforming after 1st Oregon game, the changes would have never come. But Ryan Day couldn’t ignore criticism from the GOAT, 🐐 he’s 1000x Coach Holtz.
Regarding new DCs,
7) If Former 10 year NFL and Ohio State star James Laurinaitis ? is the Football Savant everyone says he is, then maybe he gets the chance. It would shift to more of a 3 LB defense which might be highly overdue in a Big 10 Featuring Physical Power Run Teams like Michigan who we never forced to punt in 4th Qtr in JK’s 3 years here. Just Sayin, lol. Also, Knowles is not a good Recruiter by Ohio State Standards, and has cost us losing a lot of Top DEs that Larry Johnson otherwise would have recruited. The same goes for LBs over the last 3 years. Last year’s 3 top LB recruits were due to James Laurinaitis 1st year as LB Coach, not Jim Knowles. Each of the previous 2 years , Jim Knowles whiffed on his top LB Recruits. Who would want to play LB there when they only play 2 of them instead of 3 or 4?
Knowles scheme was not best against Michigan, but worked alright against other teams.
So go get the Best Damn guy out there!!!!
He’s the enemy now. Bag over loyalty. See ya Nov 1st!
It’s a OSU game plan to send hm at PSU for next year championship game.
James Franklin doesn't have three years. Knowles will be in the SEC by 2027
Give Pantoni whatever he wants. He definitely deserves it.
Sayin to JJ, Tate and Innis. Peoples and Donaldson smashing and dashing. Downs and company crushing D. We are THE world famous CFP 2024 National Champion Ohio State Buckeyes. We RELOAD and REPEAT not rebuild. O-H
He could be done with the pressure at OSU. The last three years were taxing on everyone. Probably just wants to make his bag 💰, move on, and perhaps bring Penn State some respect. Ohio State fans nearly fired the whole staff two months ago for the loss to Michigan! Franklin never gets past the big dogs and PSU fans understand. Angrily understand. Best wishes JK!
Too early for Laurinaitis? Ugh.... I'm lost.
Way to early
Could it be Knowles just didn't want to deal with Larry Johnson anymore? I know LJ's influence over Knowles waned since the loss at Oregon, but maybe Knowles still felt LJ's shadow and wanted full autonomy instead of only partial. Not trying to blame LJ, Knowles could have decided to move on for completely different reasons, but it's a question worth asking.
What ? Not staying for the brotherhood ? Reality crushes the Kool-Aid drinkers……
Not Atlanta 😂
Lets get a DC who can beat Michigan. He is disloyal. Sorry. Kelly has a 3 year contract. Wherever he goes they will need to buy out his contract.
Well bye have fun, finishing second or third in the Big Ten
Why does it surprise anyone, this is college football for the future. If the players are going to jump teams f or the money, why not the coaches
Why not wait one day? Thought JK was a good dude but this was a classless move. He left for no LJ and less pressure. PSU already has a great defense😂. Use that money for wide receivers.
I bet Kerry Coombs is available for the DC job. Ryan Day cost the program 3 years with that great hire.
His way of showing how unhappy he is with fans after Mich. game. But it's no different in Happy Valley, fans were calling for Franklin's job just as much after their loss to Buckeyes. And when Smith goes past Penn State defenders they will call for yours. Leave for NFL Coordinator or a Head coach somewhere but to take a slight down grade seems like he's trying to send message. Good luck with that.
Quite honestly, I think ‘Knowles Knows’ that OSU Defensive Talent gonna take HUGE DIVE in 2025, and figured he’d better leave on a high note…
No they are not lol 😂
Well, that would make him a shitty DC with no confidence.
Celebrating a "chumpionship"...2 loss team that lost at home as 21.5 favorites to a team with a walk-on QB throwing for 75 yards and 2 picks. That's now two pseudo-titles for OSU (i.e. they wouldn't have sniffed them in ANY previous year of college football - 2014 and 2024). Funny how these supposed great teams at OSU have trouble going undefeated.
Awww cry some more u big baby
Jeff Hafley?
Did Knowles not want to be here?
Did we support Johnson over Knowles?
I am sorry Guererri was a failure at Indiana. And what he did for Duke is a much lower level of player and competition.
Clearly it was personal
Dick move by Knowles. whether he was leaving or not he should have shown up. At least Kelly was out recruiting.
Why announce today… gees the Buckeyes will arise… they will move on!
Why didn't ohio state try to keep him
Could be worse. After Michigan won their Natty they lost their head coach, their offensive and defensive coordinator some other assistants and even the strength coach. They have too much talent to step back one step.
They fired them
These coaches ain’t got no loyalty. It’s all about the money all around now.
The show banner says Atlanta.
Ohio state is a nice stepping stone program, like a practice girl, if you will
Tool

Makes you wonder about the rumored rift between Knowles and Larry Johnson? Did he give Day an ultimatum?
Sounds like it
Can't wait for OSU to lose chip Kelley as well 😂
Kelly might be more loyal to Day. They are close friends.
