Some comments on 11W about former Buckeye DC Jim Knowles who left for Happy Valley
-Leaving tOSU for BIG GAME JAMES was quite the move. But I don't hate it. Matty P is okay by me.
-Franklin will be easier to push around and the Nitts are accustomed to losing big games, so a better fit all around.
- He was negotiating for a contract BEFORE the Natty when he should have been doing his job was a back stab.
-Don't forget him getting butthurt when Day stepped in to help fix the defense
-The seeds for Knowles' exit were planted out in Eugene.Jim didn't like getting called on the carpet,well be better at your job.
-Knowles' ego apparently doesn't allow humility, so he tried to assert, himself as the alpha by demanding a raise with the threat of leaving.
-I don’t hate him but for the first time I can remember, the grass IS greener on the other side. Enjoy your ego trip Jimbo
- His best years at Okie State he had a productive offense to lean on. His best years at tOSU he had a productive offense to lean on. His best days are now behind him at PSU.
-it takes 3yrs to roll out his defense, Knowles thought he had something to prove and now he's on a team that isn't programmed to win big games.
-So, now that he’s at Penn State - does that mean they now have TWO Big Game James?
