College football • Mike Munchak says he is not heading to Penn State as coach.
The Tennessee Titans coach said 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 longtime coach Joe 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 NFL franchise he has worked for as either a player or coach since 1982.
