Ryan Day and Jim Knowles aren’t keeping in touch.
While Day respects the work his former defensive coordinator did in his three years at Ohio State, which culminated with the Buckeyes winning last season’s national championship, he said Tuesday that he hasn’t talked much with Knowles since Knowles opted to leave Ohio State for Penn State shortly after last season.
“Like any relationship, when it breaks off, sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. But there really hasn't been much communication,” Day said Tuesday. “He did a great job when he was here, helped us win a national championship, and kind of left it at that.
