Lots of Jim Knowles rumblings on X right now…
- Thread starter grinagrin
- Start date
Does seem strange that presented salary is out there. It almost feels like we are being set up that if he says no, it makes Penn State desperate and that even with a big salary offer we couldn’t snag him
The definition of something that can't be kept secret is something that more than one person knows.
All it takes is one person in the know blabbing to a "trusted" friend. In the information age, it's out there.
That’s very surprising. Dare I say encouraging?According to Pro Football Scoop (?), PSU offered over $3M:
Jim Knowles: Penn State Offering Him a Lot of Money | NSN
Penn State has offered Jim Knowles a lot of money to be its defensive coordinator.Per a report by FootballScoop, PSU has offered thenittanysportsnow.com
I can’t imagine Knowles’ agent would leak dollars to create more demand. Naw.
Seems he would be most likely to stay at OSU with the defense he's built, or go back to Oklahoma near his family.
If Penn State is legit offering $3.2mil that's a great sign of willingness to pay/administration support, but more likely that number being public is a negotiation tactic to get more money out of OSU or OU.

Let’s be honest. People who look like us don’t get a coach from Tosu.
There's been talk that the number is closer to $30 million than the $20 million that's in the press.
Amazing things can happen when you hire a competent AD.
But does he foster a sense of BELONGING?
He's working on the stadium too!!!! All together hopefullly!!!! Not really premium content per say so hopefully @Sean Fitz doesn't mind, but what a great line he threw out with regards to Kraft. Feel free to delete Sean if I did overstep, but this kind of marries up with this conversation.
"He's willing to spend, not just to elevate the program, but also to mobilize the donors who will eventually pay for it. Balls to the wall, in the sense that spending money will also make money in the long run. Here's how committed we are, if you're not with us now, don't ask to be on the float in the parade."

“They” are right on the money.Well they say Jim is not a slave to fashion so we've got that going for us....
I'm never sure what excites the BWICAC more. Rallying to fire a coach...or hiring a new coach with the promise of ripping him to pieces after a game or two.

I want a guy who will wear a dress shirt and tie in memory of JoePa.
Rumor is 3.2M offer as already posted, plus we'd cover the buyout which I think is another 1.2M. It seem PSU is spending the playoff money they just got and ready to compete with the big programs for the big names.
Someone give Knowles a pen. For f*ck’s sake.
After covering the buy out they can't afford a pen
One of the football interns is going to slit his wrist and Knowles will dip his finger in the blood and sign the contract.
The intern will probably die due to loss of blood but interns are like golf balls - if you lose one just pull another out of your bag.

No pen, no problem . They signed it on an Etch a Sketch . When they showed Franklin , he was so excited he shook it and erased it . Have to start all over again.
