What Ohio State football’s Jim Knowles said about rumors connecting him to Oklahoma
ATLANTA — Ohio State football’s Jim Knowles was asked Saturday about rumors linking him to Oklahoma’s search for a defensive coordinator.
As OSU prepares to face Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday, Knowles’ answer reflected a coordinator honed in on the task at hand.
“Notre Dame, that’s all I’m focused on,” Knowles said at Media Day. “You are right, these things happen, I guess, when you have success. And players are making plays, and my job is to put them in the best position. But, everybody, these things come up when you do well.”
The Sooners are searching for a new defensive coordinator following Zac Alley’s departure for West Virginia after one season at Oklahoma.
OU is led by coach Brent Venables, a former defensive coordinator at Clemson who is entering his fourth season at the helm.
Knowles is a native of Philadelphia. His coaching journey includes a stint as Oklahoma State’s defensive coordinator (2018-21).
Ohio State football’s new defensive coordinator, Jim Knowles, has finally addressed the rumors connecting him to the head coaching vacancy at Oklahoma. In a recent press conference, Knowles made it clear that he is fully committed to his role with the Buckeyes and has no intentions of leaving.
Knowles stated, “I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible program at Ohio State. I have no interest in any other coaching positions at this time. My focus is solely on helping this team succeed and reaching our goals here in Columbus.”
Despite the speculation surrounding his potential departure, Knowles’ words reassure Ohio State fans that he is dedicated to the program and ready to make a significant impact on the team’s defense. With his proven track record of success, Buckeye Nation can rest assured that they have a top-notch defensive coordinator leading their team to victory.
