I don’t have an issue with Knowles leaving. This is what happens when you win titles.
My issue is with the way he reportedly left.
Telling multiple players he was coming back, not even responding to Ohio St offer to make him the highest paid DC, and then skipping out on the championship celebration is nasty business and just unprofessional. For someone who preaches strength and honor he showed none of either on his way out the door.
Check out this video of Emeka Egbuka celebrating with fans as they received a warm welcome back to the team hotel after their National Championship win Monday night!
That dude bleeds Scarlet and Gray! ⭕🌰

The job Ryan Day did pulling the squad together and running a gauntlet of four top tens in a row(by double digits) is the greatest coaching accomplishment in college football history. And it’s not close
Ohio State's Defense finished the season:
#1 in Scoring Defense
#1 in Total Defense
#1 in Total Yards Allowed Per Play
#1 in Total TDs Allowed Per Game
#1 in Opponents Total TDs Scored in Redzone (and played 16 games)
#2 in Sack Yards
#2 in TFL Yards
#2 in Total Sacks
#2 in Passing TDs Allowed Per Game
#2 in Opponent Red Zone Score %
#2 in Opponent Red Zone TD %
#3 in Rushing Defense
#3 in Passing Defense
#3 in Sacks/Game
#5 in Total TFL
#6 in Passing Yards Allowed Per Attempt
#10 in Total Forced Fumbles
All this while beating six teams that were ranked in the Top 10 in the final AP Poll (Final Scoring Offense National Rank in paratheses):
#2 @NDFootball (#10)
#3 @oregonfootball (#17)
#4 @TexasFootball (#29)
#5 @PennStateFball (#28)
#9 @Vol_Football (#12)
#10 @IndianaFootball (#2)
These teams collectively averaged 35.7 points per game for the season and Ohio State held them to an average of 19.2 points per game.
The entire coaching staff and all the players deserve a hand. The year before @CoachJimKnowles was hired this defense was ranked #59 in Total Defense. We are lucky to have the coaches we have on that side of the ball.

With confetti falling Donovan Jackson put his arm around coach Ryan Day.
I don't know what was said, but coach Day mentioned Jackson as one of the best stories on this team.
The biggest unsung hero on this team, he moved to left tackle and may have saved the Buckeyes season:
