Yeah some of yall must be new to the channel , yall just come in here shitting on Oklahoma like yall don’t know RJ a Oklahoma fan 😂 But RJ is right , first year Knowles was too aggressive Last year he was too cautious , not trying to give up the big plays this year after the Oregon game/ he mixed the two successfully
@@Mr.Guardian8623 I get it , it was just kinda funny seeing the comments . Everybody was shitting on Oklahoma like it’s not a prestige program, like “why would Jim Knowles go there “ 😂😂😂 . People are treating the job like Toledo .
But in all honesty for him, it would be a head coaching job. Big plus for him is it isn't a crap job. Oklahoma in my opinion is always overrated, they always choke. But I think he would bring in a new culture and could make them a powerhouse. Oklahoma has the money and ability to go after big recruiting athletes.

@@JimTrussell Michigan went undefeated and smoked Ohio in the same season . Always remember Ohio state got lucky they moved the playoff to 12 teams because Ohio state would have been knocked out of the playoffs for a second year in a row.
Why would he leave the Buckeyes for Oklahoma of all places? He just finished going through all of the growing pains of his complex defense with these dream Buckeye defensive players. I doubt he wants to start all over at another, less proficient program when everything is just beginning to click at tOSU.
Dom enters the chat... Family! Jk, that is the rumor but the sane(ish) Oklahoma fans know it's just that. If it were both teams going for a new coordinator we'd have a shot. The only way we're poaching Knowles is if OSU wins the natty and he is willing to take a paycut to be closer to family. I still don't see it happening, I think your DC just got a hefty raise though lol
It's not anxiety, I think people are trying to figure out where it makes any sense at all. Not as good of a program right now, don't recruit as well, etc. It'd be a lateral move to a worse situation and the money will be about the same regardless
As an OSU fan and a longtime listener, I see where RJ is coming from. A great DC and a great Defensive head coach would be great for Oklahoma. However, I don’t see a world where OSU would let Jim Knowles leave the state for another DC job
Whoever the DC ends up being is honestly irrelevant, do we really think BV isn’t gonna run the defense he is most known for, or he’ll actually give full reigns to whoever it is coming in?
@deandrebinion3714 Agreed. No shade or lies detected, only facts. I'm an Oklahoma fan btw..truth is, Ohio St is a much better program than OU is at the moment.
I think Jim Knowles won’t come to OU because Brent won’t give up control of the defense. Jim Knowles is also a 34 coach and venables is a 43 coach. Would be insane if it did happen though.- OU fan
Well, we know 2 things for certain (ref. previous interviews): 1. Jim Knowles is very happy at OSU and feels "this is where i always worked to be." 2. Yes, he will continue to weigh HC position offers (NOT DC positions). In light of that, and just listening to him talk, and taking into account the complexity of his def. scheme and the personnel it takes, yada...a man who will be 60 years old in April and making millions ($2.2M in `24) of dollars at THE Ohio State University -- a place in which he is thrilled to be -- it seems extremely unlikely he would move on from there.
Knowles loves his job - like Chip loves his job - and likely doesn't want to be a CEO ! He did say this DC @ OSU was his "dream job" when he was hired (!) - he loves what he's doing ! He likely won't be going anywhere - especially after they win the NATTY !!!
The crazy thing is, is that Knowles has only 1 of his recruits on his starting defense, which is Styles. Everyone else is not his recruit. He’s done a helluva job.
To be fair, I don't recall Knowles ever starting a presser with "What's up Bucknuts, I'm Jim Knowles and I'm not on a ....." I just realized I might be treading dangerously close to a copywrite hazard. Not to mention low key conjuring of any unnecessary voodoo before the Domers are dispatched next Monday. We 'll take it up next Tuesday Mr. Young. Keep grinding my man! PS. anyone know the over/under # for holding flags thrown on ND's O Line MASH Unit next Monday? If you know you know.
Prob zero on those holds considering they haven’t had one called in their favor in months despite there being blatant holding on nearly every opponents’ play.
@@spongeblawb8022 Seriously. When I heard that stat/no call story last week I couldnt wrap my mind around how miniscule the odds of that being true must be. Only made more cartoonish by the lack of mention in a media world obsessed with bizarre statistical outliers.
I hope not, as a relatively recent fan of college football I dont want to have another few years of having a good offense but a bad defense. And then have those flip a few years later 😩
See this how rumors get started... If Ohio State would have lost to TN or Oregon again. It makes sense, but after the run, he just went on and with Downs coming back. Makes no sense🤦🏽♂️
This doesn't really strike me as great fit...Venables would really have to swallow his ego to turn it over to Knowles, and last I checked, Oklahoma was hurting for OFFENSE, not defense.
Thank you RJ for still being on the bandwagon for Venables with me. It seems there’s a lot of room in here. I wanted Venables years before he came. I just have a great feeling about him but he’s a new head coach. So there’s gonna be growing pains. We need a guy like Venables and I’m tired of we haven’t won a Natty so let’s fire him. Anyways love what you do man. When you kept looking around I thought you were seeing a ghost. Probably the ghost of 2000 National championship. 😂
ha ha it would be border line nuts. ou is a team i enjoy to watch. They are down right now and Ohio State is peaking. so much money to be made after the national title game. Why wouldn't you let your employer pay up. they have money for teenagers. if ryan day left for a pro team i could see him being available, but that is about it.
62 year Buckeye Fan here and it’s always been my impression since Knowles got here It’s a do your job See Ball Get Ball mentality of a defense, it’s not that complicated however The Front 4 Have to get to the QB and create pressure because the back 7 play so far off the line of scrimmage..
This feels like a contract negotiation. Knowles just produced an all time great OSU defense and several NFL players. He’s gonna want a pay raise, which I can understand. Especially if we win the natty
RJ,I am gonna be as nice to you as possible here.why would Knowles leave being the tip of the spear to being the quiver.cant see it my friend.wish Oklahoma success next year though.
@ from where? I’ve lived in Oklahoma my whole life and been an OU fan as long as I can remember. Venables is one of the best Defensive play callers of all time.. are you saying you would rather have someone else call plays?
I don’t really see an established guy like Knowles coming to step into a situation where it’s clear the HC very much wants to still run the defense. Having a desire to be in the state could make the difference, but I don’t think Oklahoma is going to get someone who isnt willing to take a back seat to Venables.
OU would be a lateral move at best. I am not sure a "little more money" would accomplish getting him. I would assume the Buckeyes would be willing to match any offer provided that is just a "little more" money.
Who else would be a good DC? OU would do well to find a good DC that could improve the secondary pass defense and let BV take care of the run defense. Hopefully someone that can recruit...
@@mabybee Sooner Scoop reported a rumor then reached out and discovered how “preliminary” it was. As in the Sooners reached out and no discussions have happened. Who wouldnt reach out to a #1 defensive coordinator when one is needed? Doesnt mean anything.
@@EanPaul200 that sounds more like talks haven’t happened yet (if they do), not like anything has been debunked. Ohio State’s season is still ongoing, I wouldn’t expect him to be talking about job positions elsewhere while still actively coaching for a championship. I mean I don’t see a reason to think he’d leave. Like you say, Oklahoma has a need so of course they’re going to be interested.
RJ, what you smoking? He’s absolutely loaded at Ohio State in spite of himself being a weak recruiter. His System is in the process of getting perfected. Great future already set. Likely more Future NCs, why leave that now for a parallel job at Oklahoma? Crazy dude crazy 🤪 If they offered him HC job that’s different.
Those of you saying there's no chance he'd leave OSU for OU apparently do not go by the mantra of "Happy wife, happy life" and maybe, just maybe, Jim Knowles does.
One thing that’s for sure RJ, if my Bucks win on Monday, Knowles is getting PAID from someone. Granted he is already the 3rd highest paid assistant coach in CFB currently.
“LFG this raid” haha more Destiny talk. RJ if you wanna run one just say so 😏 the other day I was just thinking that another team is gonna want Jim Knowles. I was worried about losing him.
Of course he’ll be a good fit everywhere he’s wet he was a good fit he’s done nothing but go to the top and with him and Venables together there’s no stopping our defense hard defense is already decent so Mr. Arbuckle coach, Arbuckle and Mateer since they’re already know about the ooffense they don’t have to spend a lot of time. They just need to perfect it with the other guys and then shoot the sky is the limit man, we will be in the playoffs this year matière had over 3000 yards by himself passing and throwing are I mean passing and running then our whole office last year
Ohio State has deeper pockets than nearly anyone. Cant stop him from taking a HC gig, but theyll outbid Oklahoma for the DC position any day to keep him if they want to.
It just seems like a major downgrade to go from national title contender with Ohio State to an Oklahoma that’s still trying to find its way in the SEC. You can almost guarantee that Ohio state will have atleast 10 wins next year, I think Oklahoma is in the 6-8 win range. Only way I could see Knowles going to Oklahoma is if he gets the head coaching job.
@ Totally agree but I think it’s extremely unrealistic to think that Oklahoma will be a contender next year, great programs like Texas, Michigan, Notre Dams, etc. have gone through years of mediocrity before going back to being a contender, I think that’s where Oklahomas at right now.
I am a buckeye fan but Oklahoma is probably the second most team i got respect for in all of college. But you tryong to get Jim a pay raise at Ohio St?
I don’t think we need jim Knowles. Yes I would be nice for Brent to just manage the game but I don’t think we need to change the defense again. Brent can have an eye over his defense and then let arbuckle take care of the offensive play calling.
I doubt he is going to Oklahoma. If he does, there are a few questions to be answered. 1. Will it be Jim or Brent's defense. Or will they be able to put their minds together and build a superb defense. 2. Is the current roster conducive to Jim's style of defense? 3. Will the defense be effective year one under Jim?
😂😂😂 What a ridiculous move that would be. Already seen a video on the deep dive on this. A headline of “would Jim Knowles be a good fit at Oklahoma?” Which is all it takes for these rumor fires to start.
I promise you he’s not leaving. We can pay him more than what OU would offer, and we’re making the playoffs every year. Unless he likes a challenge he’s not starting from scratch again
Knowles is an amazing DC great challenge will be next year losing 8-9 starters on defense. No way he leaves for Oklahoma, it wouldn’t work, he might take a mid level head coach gig. Pay the man and give him all the McDonald’s coffee he can drink.
Why would Knowles go from a stable head coaching situation to one where the head coach could be fired at the end of 2025. Further, have the head coach in your room all the time. Ryan Day is an offensive guy unlike Vennebles.
Denzel Burke is not the weakest player on that defense. Did he have a terrible game against Oregon, he sure did. That said he had a first round grade on him coming into the season and has played extraordinary outside of 2 games this year. The LB corp is not elite right now outside of Simon.
This rumor is so dumb. Why would he take a step down like that? He’s one the highest paid coordinators in college football and doesn’t have to go recruit. Unless he falls and bumps his head and gets brain damage that move isn’t happening.
Oklahoma needs an OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Venables is a defensive coach period. The Sooners need an offense once again. It used to be they had an offense but no defense under Riley
A BEAT WRITER FOR A REDDIT OKLAHOMA PAGE STARTED THIS BS. Idots keep it going. He's 1 of the highest paid dc in ncaaf. Also why go to a team that was in the bottom of the sec? It's a step down. Haters are praying.
I assume The Ohio State administration will match anything Oklahoma or anyone else offers, the only way I see him leaving is if he wants to try the NFL or try Head Coaching again. Both seem kind of unlikely.
Maybe Tom Brady will want to come back to play QB at Oklahoma to help Venables. that’s about as realistic as Knowles leaving Ohio State after this year.

@ Totally agree but I think it’s extremely unrealistic to think that Oklahoma will be a contender next year, great programs like Texas, Michigan, Notre Dams, etc. have gone through years of mediocrity before going back to being a contender, I think that’s where Oklahomas at right now.
I do not thank Knowles wants to start over and develop when OSU will match or beat any offer. He can build a legacy in OSU with this defense.
And probably make a deal for the kid and fiancé.
Good luck with that
@@easyenetwork2023good luck with that as well
I am a buckeye fan but Oklahoma is probably the second most team i got respect for in all of college. But you tryong to get Jim a pay raise at Ohio St?
👊🏾
Ohio state will pay Jim what ever he want 💯
And I hope they pay him whatever he want. 1872, baby! 😂😂😂
I don’t think we need jim Knowles. Yes I would be nice for Brent to just manage the game but I don’t think we need to change the defense again. Brent can have an eye over his defense and then let arbuckle take care of the offensive play calling.
I bet most of u dont know he doesn't recruit either! 1 of the highest paid coordinators! Doesn't recruit. A dc isn't fixing that team! 😂
Don’t need him to.
I doubt he is going to Oklahoma.
If he does, there are a few questions to be answered.
1. Will it be Jim or Brent's defense. Or will they be able to put their minds together and build a superb defense.
2. Is the current roster conducive to Jim's style of defense?
3. Will the defense be effective year one under Jim?
👊🏾
Am I crazy or is defense totally NOT the problem at ou? They’re going to be effective on that side of the ball for as long as BV is there.
You're not crazy.
What coordinator has left Ohio State and crushed it somewhere else? Legit question.
😂😂😂 What a ridiculous move that would be. Already seen a video on the deep dive on this. A headline of “would Jim Knowles be a good fit at Oklahoma?” Which is all it takes for these rumor fires to start.
K
@ heyyyy now, I be supporting you for awhile now! Even if I’m talking smack I need my 👊🏾! 😉
Why would he leave a place in Ohio State where he's coaching first rounders year after year?
Jim Knowles wont leave for another DC job only Head Coaching job . . He is getting paid over 2.5 million at Ohio St.
It's possible that Jim Knowles creating leverage for a big payday from Ohio State, which they would be smart to pay.
Aren't they all.
I promise you he’s not leaving. We can pay him more than what OU would offer, and we’re making the playoffs every year. Unless he likes a challenge he’s not starting from scratch again
The defense is not the problem at Oklahoma but the offense🤷🏻
👊🏾
The "other" OSU, RJ! hehe
👊🏾
Why tf would he go there? He has his system in place at a winning program with unlimited NIL. Plus the Buckeyes will match or top any offer ou makes
He'll probably go there because he's tired of losing to Michigan year after year after year! 😂😂😂
Knowles is an amazing DC great challenge will be next year losing 8-9 starters on defense. No way he leaves for Oklahoma, it wouldn’t work, he might take a mid level head coach gig. Pay the man and give him all the McDonald’s coffee he can drink.
👊🏾
As an OSU fan I hope not but if that's the case I wish him the best of luck (unless they're playing OSU). 😉
👊🏾
Only reading the comments and passing through 😮
How is Knowles going to fix the Sooners offense?
You're not from here.
Why would Knowles go from a stable head coaching situation to one where the head coach could be fired at the end of 2025. Further, have the head coach in your room all the time. Ryan Day is an offensive guy unlike Vennebles.
Denzel Burke is not the weakest player on that defense. Did he have a terrible game against Oregon, he sure did. That said he had a first round grade on him coming into the season and has played extraordinary outside of 2 games this year. The LB corp is not elite right now outside of Simon.
Unless Day plans to coach for a long time I feel like Jim Knowles could potentially end up as HC at Ohio State
...
Clemson fans are making fun of Oklahoma not have A DC yet and they already have theirs.
👊🏾
This rumor is so dumb. Why would he take a step down like that? He’s one the highest paid coordinators in college football and doesn’t have to go recruit. Unless he falls and bumps his head and gets brain damage that move isn’t happening.
Oklahoma needs an OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR. Venables is a defensive coach period. The Sooners need an offense once again. It used to be they had an offense but no defense under Riley
...
Does knowles have any head coaching aspirations? I feel like HC of Oklahoma i could see, but DC is a demotion
...
What's the difference between Jim Knowles and Don Brown but you'd never say that would you?
For starters? I'm a beard man.
Cleaning lady = MVP
Yon get it.
Don't be trying to take our DC playa!!! Haha
A BEAT WRITER FOR A REDDIT OKLAHOMA PAGE STARTED THIS BS. Idots keep it going. He's 1 of the highest paid dc in ncaaf. Also why go to a team that was in the bottom of the sec? It's a step down. Haters are praying.
lol
I assume The Ohio State administration will match anything Oklahoma or anyone else offers, the only way I see him leaving is if he wants to try the NFL or try Head Coaching again. Both seem kind of unlikely.
Sure.
Maybe Tom Brady will want to come back to play QB at Oklahoma to help Venables. that’s about as realistic as Knowles leaving Ohio State after this year.
👊🏾
It’s not happening
Sure.
Don’t be taking our DC now RJ if yall want I’ll be your DC
Me before you.
Ohio State needs to make knolls the highest paid décor in college football
Sure.
