Summary
Penn State pryed DC Jim Knowles away from Ohio State. Are the Nittany Lions gearing up for an OSU and Michigan-esque championship run in 2025? David, Chris, and Damien discuss Knowles leaving Columbus, and what it means for PSU, OSU, and the rest of the country. The Jeremiah Smith tampering news isn't surprising. What is surprising is coaches still bellyaching after all this time. Plus, the Buckeyes return some key players. Later, the guys chat about USC spending $1M/season on GM Chad Bowden. How will he help the Trojans, and how does the GM role function in CFB? Plus, we answer some of your mailbag questions.
Rundown:
- Jim Knowles to Penn State (2:00)
- Will the coaching carousel spin again? (8:45)
- Tampering? In 2025? Really? (11:15)
- Major contributors returning to Ohio State (23:00)
- Will USC's new GM save the program? (26:30)
- Are coaching 'godfather' contracts dead? via Eric W. (35:00)
