With how good Jim Knowles’ defense has been this season, he was always going to have options this offseason, and a historically great program could be in mix.
Florida is expected to hire Bill Napier as its next head coach, and 247Sports’ Carl Reed reports that Napier has two guys atop his list as his defensive coordinator: Knowles and Houston DC Doug Belk.
Knowles, a semifinalist for the Broyles Award given to the best assistant in the nation, has captained the Cowboys to giving up a Big 12-best 16.4 points and 281.4 yards a game.
