The Ohio State football program was expecting to have Jim Knowles as their defensive coordinator for years to come after they won the national championship. Instead, Knowles decided to leave for Penn State to become the highest-paid defensive coordinator in the sport.
Things have gone terribly since he made that decision. James Franklin ended up getting fired, and Penn State's season was derailed. Knowles has now been let go, as Matt Campbell has decided not to retain him. Now, Knowles is jobless less than a year after winning the title with the Ohio State Buckeyes.
While Knowles is currently jobless, it doesn't look like he will be for very long.
