Ohio State has its replacement for Jim Knowles at defensive coordinator. Knowles, of course, accepted the job at Penn State, and the man replacing him will be Matt Patrica.

Yes, that Matt Patrica.

The former Detroit Lions head coach who won two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator for the New England Patriots will now be coaching the college game for the first time since 2003, when he was a GA at Syracuse.

Joe Smeltzer, Kyle Golik and Jay Holahan discuss this as well as Penn State losing RB coach Ja’Juan Seider to the same position at NotreDame in the latest episode of Joe and the Fatman.
