Munchak makes it clear: “No interest” in Penn State job

Penn State may have Titans coach Mike Munchak atop their wish list, but that doesn’t mean the interest is mutual.

“I love my alma mater, but I have no interest in being the head coach at Penn St,” Munchak said Wednesday via Jim Wyatt of the Tennesesean. “I never want to leave Tennessee.”

That should end the speculation. Munchak said he hasn’t spoken to anyone at the school.

“It is not like I’m saying I want nothing to do with Penn State. My point is I have no interest in being the head coach there,” Munchak said. “Hopefully this will be the end of all the speculation. Most of it never comes true anyway.”

Munchak put in 14 hard years as an NFL assistant, all with the Titans, to get to this position. He’s done a nice job with an overachieving Titans team this year.

It would have made no sense for Munchak to go back to his alma matter and clean up the mess there.
