Oklahoma State’s defense has not been up to par over the last several seasons. That was plain to see and Mike Gundy and OSU took the steps they felt were needed and said goodbye to five-year DC and 10-year staffer, Glenn Spencer.
On Monday, Gundy announced the hiring of Duke defensive coordinator Jim Knowles via his Twitter account, along with five other staff additions. While the 13th-year head coach was reticent to formally announce Knowles as the DC, that’s being reported by multiple outlets and honestly would make no sense for him to take a demotion to leave Duke and head to Oklahoma State.
