This coming from the school up north, he has been an excellent AD. Tough shoes to fill.

Gene Smith even sticking the landing on his way out; as his timing for wrapping it up on 20 years.

Timing is an underrated leadership skill, and he knows the road ahead for OSU, B1G, and universities in general will look very much differently than in the past. Good time for him to move on to the next chapter!

Interesting. Don’t really get the connection to Vegas. That said I am all four rotating it away from Indy…

I think Vegas in in anticipation of new west wing members having easier access occasionally, assuming that they're in B1G championship games for the future.

Sure. Would also think Sofi Stadium in LA would be a great spot too. Of course, there’s a really nice stadium n Pasadena too…

If the game will be in LA, it'll be at the Rose Bowl.

Like Woody Hayes, Bob Knight was his own man and did things his way and I loved both them for good and for antics, ahem, and temper. They were human in every way and yet highly successful and did things on their terms. Neither could ever have made it in the molly coddle world of snowflakes! Kudos Bob Knight! Well done!

Well said! I know a few that played for Woody and they love him dearly. I'm sure there are/were the few that didn't like his way, but the majority could handle it. Agree, definitely wouldn't make it today, sadly.

RIP Coach Knight.
I may have enjoyed the press conferences more than the coaching.

Probably if he was part of that 1990 split national championship CU team.

Ok, that's what I was thinking without looking it up, lol! I know, that was a lazy post on my part.

Congrats to him and UCLA, but the man goes down to college ball and still can't get a head coaching job
