Bill O'Brien is staying at Penn State after interviewing with the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles.
O'Brien told Pennlive.com on Thursday night that he spoke with several NFL teams but decided to remain in State College.
"I'm not a one-and-done guy," O'Brien told Pennlive.com. "I made a commitment to these players at Penn State and that's what I am going to do. I'm not gonna cut and run after one year, that's for sure."
The (Cleveland) Plain Dealer reported that the Browns interviewed O'Brien earlier Thursday, while Adam Caplan of PhiladelphiaEagles.com reported that O'Brien spoke with the Eagles.
O'Brien will receive a bump in salary in 2013, courtesy of a $1.3 million donation, which will help bump O'Brien's total compensation for the season to $3.6 million, sources told Pennlive.com. That salary figure would place O'Brien as the third-highest paid coach in the Big Ten behind Ohio State's Urban Meyer and Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, Pennlive.com notes.
O'Brien's agent, Joseph Linta, confirmed the decision to remain at Penn State on Thursday night to The Associated Press. Linta said the "heartstrings" of the coach's first-year experience at Penn State outweighed the big raise he could have made going to the NFL as a head coach.
"His loyalty to the team and those kids was a really strong bond ... Although he loves the NFL and loves coaching, the experience this year with those kids was the opportunity of a lifetime for him," Linta said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.cheap custom jerseys china
O’Brien guided the Nittany Lions to an 8-4 record in his first season as coach and was named Big Ten Coach of the Year. He took over in exceedingly difficult circumstances in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
The school received a four-year postseason ban from the NCAA, was fined $60 million and saw huge scholarship reductions because of the school’s alleged dealings with regard to Sandusky, a convicted child sex abuser. The NCAA also vacated 112 of former head coach Joe Paterno's victories.
The NCAA penalties handed down in July triggered a clause in O'Brien's contract that extends his deal the length of any sanctions handed down, so O'Brien's deal now runs through 2020.
The sanctions include a four-year postseason ban that began with the 2012 season; and steep scholarship cuts which take effect with the 2013 recruiting class to be finalized next month.
The state of Pennsylvania has filed a lawsuit to challenge the NCAA sanctions. The university is not a part of the suit.cheap custom jerseys china
Reports surfaced earlier in the week that O’Brien, a former offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots, was considering interviewing for an NFL opening.
The Browns have been busy interviewing college coaches as the team interviewed Syracuse coach Doug Marrone on Thursday, according to ESPN.com. The team is also set to interview Oregon coach Chip Kelly on Friday in Arizona, according to multiple reports.
