Knowles brought the 4-2-5 defense he learned from Patterson. That 4-2-5 defense did not work 1st year at OSU. Defense is a hybrid, Knowles told RA the entire staff came up with the current defense, it was not all his doing. tOSU is keeping their staff together. OSU staff could stay together and Knowles said the staff knows that defense.
RA talked to Gundy, he was disappointed in losing him, lamenting the ability some programs have financially. Gundy was disappointed. The rest was a private conversation.
Schematics not as important as players. Knowles admitted he had extremely veteran players this year that allowed them to run a sophisticated defense. NFL scout told Hunzicker our defense was advanced and more sophisticated than some NFL defenses. Older and experienced players allowed for that.
Players came over to Jim's house and had a cigar party last night with some of the older players.
Really hard on the fans, been since the 80's we had a great defense. This one hurts.
RA - The communications that needed to happen at the last minute for whatever reason did not happen. Gundy was trying to get ahold of Knowles and vice-versa and for whatever reason did not happen.
