Congrats to Jim Knowles on his new $3MM contract as defensive coordinator at Penn State. He's a hard working coach and has done an unbelievable job since leaving Cornell for greener pastures.

My only concern is these are academic institutions that have lost their way. Penn State is a good school, but their singular focus on football has their priorities mixed up. Meaning our company is not planning to hire any PSU grads.

I find it curious that "the" OSU, which obviously is not short of resources, would not match this offer to a coach whose performance looks good, and on the other hand (assuming OSU made some counter offer) that Knowles would not prefer to stay with a team with a much better track record on the national pro level. Also, I don't see Franklin leaving PSU voluntarily any time soon, thus no step up forthcoming soon.

I don't think Jim Knowles is interested in becoming a head coach. Besides the money, Jim grew up in Philly and that may be one of the reasons for his move closer to home in PA. I am not a Penn State fan though and State College is basically in the middle of $#%&@!. So I don't really get the attraction to PSU.
