Jim Knowles drops truth bomb on Penn State football’s title aspirations
As the Penn State football team looks to dominate on the recruiting trail, they still have to recover from their College Football Playoff loss against Notre Dame in the semifinals. Part of recovering was the Penn State football team hiring Jim Knowles to be their defensive coordinator as he speaks about the possibility of the program winning a championship in the foreseeable future.
Knowles was with the Ohio State Buckeyes from 2022 to 2024 as the defensive coordinator and now takes his talents to Pennsylvania to lead the Nittany Lions unit. He has two goals for his stint with the university and it’s two that fans will be excited to hear ahead of next season according to NBC Sports.
“I have one aspiration,” Knowles said. “I’m at that point in my career where you focus solely on the job at hand, and my aspiration is to help Penn State win the national championship and be the No. 1 defense in the country — and that’s really all I’m focused on. That’s not just talk. That’s the truth. I don’t have any aspirations beyond that.”
Consequently, there is no doubt that Knowles knows what it feels like to win a national championship as being with the Buckeyes this past season, they won the title and look to now be a part of head coach James Franklin’s staff to bring one to them. The last time that the Nittany Lions won a national title was 1986, looking to rectify that.
