Even though Jim Knowles interviewed for Duke’s head coaching job late last month, the Ohio State defensive coordinator is in no hurry to leave Columbus.
In his first interview session since the end of the regular season at AT&T Stadium on Tuesday, Knowles chose not to specifically address why he interviewed for the head coaching job at Duke, where he was previously an assistant coach from 2010-17, including seven years as the Blue Devils’ defensive coordinator. Duke ultimately hired Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz as its new head coach to replace Mike Elko, who left to become the head coach at Texas A&M.
