James Franklin, head coach at Penn State, successfully recruited Jim Knowles from Ohio State's coaching staff shortly after the Buckeyes won the national championship. This move is notable as Knowles is highly regarded in the football community, having led Ohio State to impressive defensive rankings. His decision came after Ohio State delayed a contract extension, which ultimately led him to consider offers from rival programs. Knowles's move is seen as a major acquisition for Penn State, enhancing their coaching credentials in the Big Ten.
To be honest with you, I didn't know how serious it was, but it went pretty quickly from that point on.
How did we get him?
