So there are DC openings at several high profile programs like StatePenn, Oklahoma, NLame, and maybe Ohio State, if their DC takes the OU gig, correct?
He's from Philly.Knowles leaving is crazy. I wonder if day is going to nfl
Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles is finalizing a deal to become the new defensive coordinator at Penn State, sources told ESPN on Sunday.
Knowles is expected to agree to a three-year deal that will average $3.1 million per season, which will make him the highest-paid defensive coordinator in college football. He is believed to be the first coordinator in college football to make a base salary of at least $3 million.
Knowles made a base salary of $2.2 million last season, and his compensation got close to $3 million with bonuses in the wake of Ohio State's national title run. The Buckeyes extended an offer to Knowles, sources told ESPN, that would have made him the highest-paid coordinator in the country, ahead of Michigan's Wink Martindale and LSU's Blake Baker, who are both set to earn $2.5 million next season.
Why is Blake Baker making $2.5 million a year???!?!!
Baker might have been very good here if Manny hadn't mettled and let the guy do his jobWhy is Blake Baker making $2.5 million a year???!?!!
Because he can, and he can because he has done well and is highly-regarded by many big-time coaches.
LSU’s defense didn’t look very impressive this past season. I’m not sure they’re getting a good return on their investment.
Maybe his players are not as good as advertised?
It happens.
