I met JJ at an AAU tornament both of our kids were playing in years ago. Super nice guy and very approachable. It didn't hurt that I had an Ohio State hat on.

Would imagine it would be hard to get a superstar coach to leave a comfortable gig, to take a team that just tanked their coach, without a hefty incentive to leave. The corporate football mind used to be, to give a coach three years to make it into a winner, but don't believe that's the case any longer. What do you believe it will take Matt Ruhl to leave Nebraska for PSU? He's got that program on the upswing, but has admitted his love for PSU, the AD, and probably the dirt on which PSU resides. Does Nebraska up the ante, give him more cash, AND a big buy-out, should/when the donors/fans/administration fall out of love with him? (kinda looking forward to when Raiola moves on). And (absolutely zero knowledge here), figuring PSU has more and better donors, to woo him to 'come home' to his alma mater for an increased payday. Dunno, but it's a great place to be in. Cignetti has also been mentioned, but don't see a home-tie incentive other than more money.

I hope they don't have an unathletic sibling. Can you imagine how that would feel?

Deservedly so. Certainly stepped up, and with CC out, she certainly got more looks. Can be disputed, but believe her game has elevated since she lit it up at tOSU. Don't believe she drove as much as she does now, and always amazes that the smallest player on the court goes inside against all the tall timber, and wills the ball into the basket. Love it. Count us among the people that turn on the Fever (and not for rest of the league), mainly for CC, but now for Kelsey. As to the refs, have seen better Jr Hi refs than these buffoons.

After leaving the Ohio State football program, these coaches are living nightmares​

These coaches might be thinking twice after deciding to leave the Ohio State football program.



The Ohio State football team continued its undefeated streak after taking down the Illini on the road 34-16. They continue to be the top-ranked team in the country and look like an absolute juggernaut. As good as the team that won the national championship was last year, this one might be better.

It's hard to have it better than the Ohio State Buckeyes right now. They are the favorites to win the national championship, and no one has really challenged them up to this point. They are a total nightmare for opposing teams to face because of how dominant they are.

Two coaches decided to leave the Buckeyes in the last couple of years in order to pursue opportunities that they believed were better. Tony Alford left for Michigan, and Jim Knowles left for Penn State. Both have to be regretting their decisions to leave Columbus.

Two former coaches have to regret leaving the Ohio State football program after nightmare seasons​

Knowles' defense got torn up for the third straight week as Penn State lost at home to Northwestern. It's the third straight loss for them, knocking them out of any chance to make the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes wanted him back, but have clearly upgraded the defensive coordinator spot by hiring Matt Patricia.

Tony Alford left the Buckeyes high and dry last spring during spring practice. He decided to leave for Michigan, becoming the ultimate traitor. That move looked stupid after Carlos Locklyn became the new running backs coach and won the national championship last season.

Alford just watched his team lose to USC, which means both times TTUN has played a good team this year, they have come up empty. His running backs were only able to muster 3.5 yards per carry against the Trojans, which means he's not doing a great job.

Ohio State football fans are glad both coaches are gone. Knowles will always have a soft spot in fans' hearts due to his helping the Buckeyes win a title, but Alford has no love in Columbus. He's the ultimate traitor, and it's sweet to watch him fail with TTUN.

Just sayin': Ohio State (football program and fans) hasn't missed either of these 2 assistant coaches at all; in fact, they are now actually better off with their replacements. However, do you think either one (or both) now regrets leaving?

Good game, Bert. Now….

247 national Texas insider Mike Roach has Ohio State as the leader for Taelyn Mayo.

LSU, Ohio State, Texas A&M and Oklahoma are the schools to watch at the moment, but we're told that Ohio State holds the edge for Mayo. The Buckeyes have been talked about as a favorite for Mayo for quite a while, and they've been aggressive in their pursuit.
