Titans’ Munchak Says He’s Not Interested in Penn State Job
First-year Tennessee Titans coach Mike Munchak told the Tennessean on Wednesday that he is not interested in becoming the next head coach at Penn State.
After the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported Tuesday that Penn State alum Munchak would be the school’s top choice to replace longtime coach Joe Paterno, Munchak told the Tennessean’s Jim Wyatt that he “never want(s) to leave Tennessee.”
“I love my alma mater, but I have no interest in being the head coach at Penn St,” Munchak told Wyatt.
“I have a great deal of respect for Penn St and I hope they find a great coach there,” Munchak said. “But I am happy where I’m at.”
Munchak added that he has not had contact with the school.
Two long-time Titans officials told NFL Network’s Albert Breer they’d be “shocked” if Munchak left for Penn State, because of the coach’s loyalty to owner Bud Adams. Munchak might also be wary of the challenges the job would entail for someone lacking in recruiting experience, Breer reported.
Paterno was fired Nov. 9 in the wake of a child sex-abuse scandal involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
The Post-Gazette identified Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements as the committee’s second choice if Munchak decides to remain in the NFL.
Munchak is a former Nittany Lions offensive lineman who made the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a guard for the Houston Oilers (the Oilers moved to Tennessee and became the Titans before the 1997 season).
In his first season as an NFL head coach, Munchak has guided the Titans to an 8–7 record. Tennessee is still in the hunt for an AFC wild-card spot pending Sunday’s results, including the Titans’ need for a win against the Houston Texans.
