The Ohio State football team made the decision to hire Matt Patricia as the defensive coordinator once Jim Knowles decided to leave for Penn State. Knowles made a terrible decision, and now he might be looking for a new job already. Meanwhile, Patricia has thrived.
With Patricia calling the defense, the Ohio State Buckeyes have the best defense in the country. They lead the nation in points per game, yards allowed per game, and passing yards allowed per game. He has completely transformed the defense, making them even better from last year.
Ohio State's defense was a large reason why they won the national championship last season.
