Titans’ Munchak: I Won’t Go to Penn St.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Mike Mun­chak says he is not head­ing to Penn State as coach.

The Titans coach says Wednes­day he’s flat­tered to be men­tioned for his alma mater, but insists he loves what he’s doing in Tennessee.

“You all know Penn State means a lot to me. I obvi­ously went to school there and I’m real con­cerned for what they’ve gone through the last cou­ple of months. I’m flat­tered that peo­ple think I’d be a great fit for the coach there,” Mun­chak said Wednes­day after practice.

“They have not con­tacted me in any way or talked to me about the pos­si­bil­ity of work­ing there. I have not reached out to them. I have a job that I enjoy quite a bit.”

This is the third time since Paterno was fired that Mun­chak has denied inter­est in the job. He denied it the day after Paterno was fired and again Dec. 2 when his name came up in con­nec­tion with the open­ing. He was linked again Wednes­day to the job and did his best to squash the idea he might leave the fran­chise he has worked for as either a player or coach since 1982.

The only assis­tance Mun­chak is ready and will­ing to give is advis­ing his alma mater in the search process.

“I’m sure they’re going to find them­selves a great coach and if I can help them in any way to do that, obvi­ously I would do that,” Mun­chak said. “I’d love to stay involved with Penn State some way, but I’m very involved with the Titans and I love what I’m doing.”

The first-year NFL head coach is busy try­ing to get his 8–7 Titans into the play­offs, which would be the team’s first post­sea­son berth since 2008 and third since the 2003 sea­son. The Titans need a vic­tory in Hous­ton on Sun­day and then help from at least two other games to make the post­sea­son as the AFC’s final wild card.

“That’s what I’m really think­ing about and excited about,” Mun­chak said. “It’s unfor­tu­nate that it came up this week because I don’t want the focus taken away from what we’re try­ing to do as a team here.”

Mun­chak said he con­sid­ered the “what-ifs” of the Penn State sit­u­a­tion when the job came open. He never went any fur­ther with that possibility.

“You always think of the what-if, what would that be like, going to col­lege (coach­ing) or mov­ing back to Penn­syl­va­nia, and I think that’s when we real­ized how much we don’t like the win­ters and how hard that would be mov­ing back with the snow, and how we do like Nashville quite a bit more,” Mun­chak said.

“You think about it and how it would be fun to be a part of some­thing. I feel like I grew up there, but that’s kind of where it stops. I’m happy with what I’m doing and the oppor­tu­nity I’ve been given here has been awesome.”

His gen­eral man­ager is Mike Rein­feldt, a for­mer team­mate with the Hous­ton Oil­ers. His defen­sive coor­di­na­tor, Jerry Gray, is another for­mer teammate.

Munchak’s Titans were glad to hear him respond so quickly to this lat­est rumor.

“Hon­estly, my heart was kind of beat­ing this morn­ing when I saw that go across the ticker on the bot­tom of the screen, because you don’t know what’s going on,” receiver Nate Wash­ing­ton said. “But he’s not a guy that gets caught up in that sort of thing. He’s very happy where he’s at, and I’m very proud of coach Mun­chak and very happy with the lead­er­ship he has given us through­out the year.”
