Penn State football coach Bill O'Brien is just the latest one.
Here is what he told Pennlive.com:
"I'm not a one-and-done guy,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."He interviewed for a job with the Cleveland Browns this week. If he made a commitment and wasn't going to "cut and run" why did he take the interview? His buyout is somewhere north of $9 million according to Fox and that is one of the two reasons he is still the coach at Penn State with the other being that he got an extra $1.3 million courtesy of the owner of the Buffalo Bills. Why didn't he mention that in his statement?
I've mentioned in the past that I don't have a problem with college coaches making the jump to the NFL because of the limited number of those jobs and the chances to get them but please spare the BS about loyalty, commitment and integrity. Bill O'Brien is not the first or the last but it is a shame that we continue to let these guys have a pass.
