I really feel sorry for Knowles in this situation. He's shown such loyalty during his coaching career, especially during his last 2 stops. He doesn't deserve this.Here's an interesting article/take/speculation on the Chaz Coleman situation at Tennessee:
Former Ohio State DC Jim Knowles is taking a big loss if the latest trend for Chaz Coleman’s playing future at Tennessee comes true
The Chaz Coleman situation at Tennessee is an odd one — and it looks like former Ohio State DC Jim Knowles might be hurting the worst in the end of all of this.atozsports.com
Former Ohio State DC Jim Knowles is taking a big loss if the latest trend for Chaz Coleman’s playing future at Tennessee comes true
The Chaz Coleman situation at Tennessee is an odd one — and it looks like former Ohio State DC Jim Knowles might be hurting the worst in the end of all of this.
Just a few months ago, it was cold outside, and the talk of the town for Ohio State football was their chase of former Penn State EDGE Chaz Coleman in the transfer portal.
Ohio State cooled off on Coleman shortly before he committed to Tennessee, where it’s been a rocky tenure with the Vols ever since. Coleman missed the majority of spring practice with Tennessee, and the latest news is that he’s yet to report for summer workouts.
There’s a solid chance Coleman never suits up for the Volunteers this fall, and a former Buckeye coach will be hurting as a result.
Jim Knowles is one of the biggest losers from the Chaz Coleman situation if it continues heading south
Tennessee paid up big dollars (or at least planned to) for Coleman to be an important part of its defense this fall. Knowles is in his first year as the defensive coordinator at Tennessee after spending last season at Penn State. Coleman followed Knowles to Tennessee, but now may never get to coach him again.
“He was in spring practice for maybe not even a week,” On3’s Chris Low said recently on Fox Sports Knoxville. “He did very little, if anything, during the offseason conditioning program and the weight program. Here we are now, what, three days [after] the players are supposed to be back, and he’s not back. I think it’s really to the point now where he’s left Josh Heupel and his staff with very little [choice]. Unless, again, there’s something else out there that comes to life. But we’re probably to the point where it’s unlikely that we see him play football at Tennessee.
“I don’t ever want to get in people’s personal business, but there are some things that this kid has dealt with. So whatever is out there, whatever those things are, he’s gotta get those things under control. But he doesn’t have a lot of options. I know some people say, ‘Well, he wants to go to Ohio State.’ Well, there is no spring portal. You can’t transfer and play next year.”
It’s a wait and see situation with Chaz Coleman
It sure sounds like Tennessee could soon be cutting ties if something doesn’t change, and that’s tough for Knowles in his first season. The Vols watched EDGE Jordan Ross enter the portal and sign with LSU. Coleman is expected to step in and be an impact player for Tennessee, but now there’s major caution on it happening.

I'm sorry. I tried really hard to type that without laughing. Turns out I couldn't help myself.

Can't believe Jim's "happy go lucky" attitude isn't helping poor Chaz adjust to big time college football ....Here's an interesting article/take/speculation on the Chaz Coleman situation at Tennessee:

Notre Dame, Oregon trending for a major recruit who canceled a visit to Ohio State
Ohio State was expected to have a pair of elite defensive tackle recruits in town this weekend, but five-star Sierra Canyon (DL) Marcus Fakatou is the only one who will be in Columbus. The Buckeyes had planned to have Brother Rice (Ill) DL Brayden Parks in for an official, but the visit has been canceled, according to Rivals’ Steve Wiltfong.Parks’ only two visits set to happen this summer are now to Notre Dame on June 12, then Oregon on June 19. Ohio State was set to be the biggest contender to land the 6-foot-3, 305-pound defensive lineman over Notre Dame and Oregon. Notre Dame has been seen as the favorite to bring in a player who isn’t far at all from then, but the latest buzz has Oregon rising in his recruitment.

MLB owners propose first salary cap since 1994 strike
Major League Baseball owners proposed a hard salary cap to players as part of the next CBA on Thursday, their first firm cap proposal since 1994.Under the proposal, presented in a meeting with union officials, each team would need to maintain a payroll of at least $171.2 million without exceeding $245.3 million, starting in 2027. That includes player benefits, just as it does under the current competitive balance tax system.
If the sides can't negotiate a new CBA before the current one expires Dec. 1, owners are likely to "lock out" the players until a new deal is in place. In that instance, players will have no contact with their teams, and league business involving players -- like trades and free agency -- will come to a halt. The sides are likely to meet again in the coming weeks after each has digested the other's proposals.
"Fans overwhelmingly support a salary cap and floor like in the other leagues because they don't believe a $446 million spending gap from top to bottom is a fair fight," league spokesperson Glen Caplin said in a statement. "Our salary cap and floor proposal levels the playing field while sharing baseball revenue with the players 50/50 as we grow the game together."
Currently 12 teams would need to increase their payrolls to reach the minimum while eight teams would have to shed payroll to get under the ceiling.
The proposal includes a 50-50 split of league revenues with the players. As those increase, the salary floor and cap would also increase. Additionally, the league is proposing a centralized fund for all local media revenues with money distributed equally among the 30 teams.
"Billionaire owners are not seeking to cap their profits or asset values, only player salaries," union head Bruce Meyer said in a statement. "This isn't out of generosity or a desire to protect the game's well-being. It's a play to control costs, increase profits and maximize franchise values -- all at the expense of players past, present and future."
He added that union reps will continue their review of the owners' proposal and "stand ready to negotiate system improvements that benefit players and fans alike."

Re: If the sides can't negotiate a new CBA before the current one expires Dec. 1, owners are likely to "lock out" the players until a new deal is in place.
Just sayin': If both sides are dug in on their positions and I'm guessing that they probably are. I could easily see this spilling over into 2027 and delaying next year's season; and it could go on for months (i.e. until one side blinks). It could be 1994 déjà vu all over again....
