Replacing Pry: Defensive Coordinator Big Board

With Brent Pry off to be the head coach of the Virginia Tech Hokies, it’s time for the best part of the year: Big Board SZN!

As always, these are simply names that could make sense. This isn’t based on any reporting, just my dumb brain.

Jim Knowles (Oklahoma State DC)

  • Age: 56
  • Why He Makes Sense: Knowles has been a Power 5 defensive coordinator since 2010. He spent the first 8 years of the decade as Duke’s DC before making the move to Oklahoma State in 2018.
