DC Jim Knowles (Official Thread)

[Captain Buckeye]

Not ideal. Maybe BC will fire Jeff Hafley and we could just take him back?

Fuck. First Scott decomitting and now this?

We are losing the off-season and it hasn't even started yet.

Relax we are always going to be fine.

Besides everyone wants to blow the team up and start over anyways.

Manny Diaz and others are also talking with Duke too anyways.

As for Hafley? Eh… who knows how good he is considering the talent he had in 2019.

I'd be surprised if Knowles gets the Dook HC job but they took the time to interview him so who knows?

Knowles coached at Duke for 7 years

2010–2011	Duke (DC/S)
2012–2014	Duke (DC)
2015–2017	Duke (DC/ILB)

Well I'll be a monkey's bare-assed uncle. He may be a stronger candidate than I thought.

They also interviewed Manny Diaz and another coach too. If Jim goes, we will find someone else who can do the job just fine.

I’d want to see about Jim Leonard.

I've heard Parker's gonna get an upgraded position of uncle jimmy takes the Duke job [/s]

 

[osuvictory1]

I was under the impression we brought him in, because he was good, as well as being older and less likely to bolt. Guess there are no sure things.

This off season may be very interesting indeed.

Day may go get a former NFL guy, which seems to be the big thing to do now. But I guess let's wait and see.

Day may even bolt with NFL allegedly being interested.

I think Knowles had an Ivy League background (Like Elko did). Either as a student or coach or something like that. Seems like something the Dukies would be into too.

Cornell graduate.

 

[Tomateaux Quinoa Gumbeaux]

Cornell graduate.

And coached there as a position coach:

1988	Cornell (DL)
1989–1994	Cornell (RB)
1995–1996	Cornell (LB/RC)

And then he was Cornell's HC from 2004-2009.

A lot of that because of whiny fans on chatboards screaming for coaches to be fired?

You believe that guys are making multi-million dollar decisions based on some message board posts?

This might be the most ridiculous take in online forum history.

The fucking cheated for 2 of those years. It's not a rationalization, it happened. People are just mad and want to act like suddenly none of that happened or matters

While I definitely agree with this, what happened also is that we got exposed for not having the fire we once had. We are entitled, fat, lazy we don't have the ass kicker, prove everyone wrong type of attitude we used to have.

The cheating aspect needs to be spoken as often as possible because it provided an unfair advantage on the field as well as confidence and a psychological advantage over us that our current coaches have not prepared our players to combat.

I'll say it, fire Knowles, the D is always porous as fuck in these big games, and my god how long has it been since we have had a decent pass rush ? The amount of talent at DLine and LB should mean we get to the QB much more than we're doing. Knowles is not good enough for the Bucks, give me some stingy defenses, that classy 4-3 instead of this scheme which we clearly can't run at a good enough level in primetime situations.

I want to know what the issue is between Knowles and Larry Johnson. Suppsedly LJ has been opposing him all year.
