Normally I have to think for a while about the Tuesday Poll Question (there will be jokes), but this week’s was fairly easy: Does Oklahoma State’s hiring of Duke defensive coordinator Jim Knowles excite you?
Knowles was announced on Monday evening by Mike Gundy on Twitter, and he comes to OSU after guiding the Blue Devils’ defense to a top-25 defensive points per drive performance in 2017.
At the outset, it seems like a bit of an uninspiring hire. Knowles runs a 4-2-5 defense, which Gundy has insinuated he wanted to start running, and I supposed Duke being the 22nd-best defense in the country is nice.
