Now five months into his position, Jim Knowles still beams about his first opportunity at a “first-class quality program” like Ohio State: “It took me 56 years to get here.”
Jim Knowles had no relationship with Ryan Day when he came calling in December. Not even a passing one.
“I tell the recruits, ‘Look, it took you 16 years to get here, it took me 56 years to get here. So let's go be great together.’”“It's been great. I mean, Coach Day is really level-headed, first-class quality program,” Knowles said in May. “Everything we do is just first class, everything we do is the best in the business and he's a football guy. So he enjoys talking football. We can bounce concepts off each other and that's fun. Because that's why we're .
Both football junkies, their obsession for the X’s and O’s of the game goes beyond other coaches around the country, Knowles said. “Guys, when they come in new, they're drinking through a fire hose and then they go right on the road recruiting. So there’s a lot and Ohio State’s different than all the places that these guys have been,” Day said last week. “But they’re all very intelligent, very bright. I think we have a very, very good staff. And I think it gives us a chance to play our best football as we head to September.
“The reputation of Ohio State and Coach Day and Coach Mick and everything that's been built here, that reputation automatically puts you – you're able to deal with any recruit that you want. The best in the country. And they’re responsive because they know that Ohio State is going to help them accomplish their goals. So yeah, it's an entree to anyone.”
