I love Obie and hate to start this while the body is still warm, but since folks are already speculating on the topic in another thread I thought it merited a thread of its own.
There was an interesting article in BSB a month or so ago speculating on the potential of Knight. It was speculation that mentioned 'unnamed' sources, but IMO it was the sort of article that had merit - just not directly quotable merit. It was particularly difficult to discuss that topic 'on the record' since OSU already had a coach and Knight already had a job. Nonetheless, that article (written by Mark Rea) stated that Geiger and Knight had a very good relationship.
I have numerous reservations about Knight, and he certainly does not share the demeanor of Tressel, Obie and Foster, but nobody has ever accused Knight of being dirty. If Geiger's #1 concern is running a clean ship, Knight could be his man.
