Another mass exodus from Penn St?

Posted: 1/6/2013 6:29:28 PM

After assuring players and recruits that he was in for the long haul, Bill O'Brien interviewed for the Browns' coaching job last week. This didn't sit well with some players. He has since withdrawn from a job search this year, but has given no guarantees about next year. There are a bunch of players who stayed and recruits who have committed to the awful situation at Penn St based on O'Brien's representations that he would be there. I realize that the situation may be worse than he anticipated when signing on, but it was nonetheless really lousy of him to go job hunting less than a year after coming onboard. It'll be interesting to see how many players and recruits jump ship because of this.

O'Brian supposedly used this as some kind of leverage to improve the program.....not sure what these improvements or changes are or will be but it's something he said he would share with the team. Whatever it still will be hard to sell this to recruits and their parents.

Doesn't sound like he would flee....but this 300+ pound DT mentions Ohio:

According to a "blurb" in one of the papers out here,the PSU coach was contacted by 5 NFL teams.
According to his agent,nothing went any further then those initial calls.

I have a few friends with kids at PSU,Everyone out there loves this guy and he was quoted as saying that he's not a "one and done".
