The Buckeyes are looking to hire a new defensive coordinator and their most recent interview could lead to a great hiring for the defending CFP champs.

The Ohio State football team has found their new defensive coordinator as Ryan Day is hiring Matt Patricia to replace Jim Knowles. Knowles left for Penn State after the Buckeyes won the national championship. Now, the Buckeyes are bringing in a DC with a lot of NFL experience, having won three Super Bowls in his career.

With former Ohio State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles making a lateral move to take the Penn State DC job, Ryan Day made the decision to replace him with a widely-panned coach that has Michigan fans celebrating and Ohio State fans and media lamenting the move.
