Never underestimate their ability at self-delusion. If he goes to the NFL, they won't meltdown. They'll somehow turn it into a self-congratulatory circle jerk of epic proportion. PSU is the greatest job in the world, and only the NFL could steal their coach and every hot coach in the country is going to see PSU greatness.

Now, if he leaves for another college program, it's a different thing, but I don't think he'll do that. I think Buttchin realizes he has something in Hackensack and will stay and attempt to ride him into an NFL HC job.

I think the buyout for him to take another college job is too big for another program to take on while his NFL buyout is much smaller and NFL owners if they want someone will pay about anything.

If Bill O'Brien leaves Penn State for a head coaching job in the NFL -- and CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora said the Texans and Vikings have shown interest -- perhaps a current NFL coach will take O'Brien's old job.

Pennlive.com is reporting that representatives of Titans coach Mike Munchak and Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano have made inquiries into the Nittany Lions job if, in fact, O'Brien departs.

It's interesting because Munchak is in trouble of losing his job in Tennessee, recording a 21-26 mark in three seasons. Schiano, who seemed to be in such trouble earlier this season, seemingly has made his job more safe by the improvement shown by Tampa Bay in the second half of the year, and on Tuesday, he denied he wanted the job.

Munchak, a Penn State alumnus, was thought to have had a good shot to land the job that O'Brien eventually got two years ago.

I always thought Schiano wanted the job but didn't want to be the buy to replace JoPa. He wanted to be the guy to replace the guy who replaced JoePa.

Bill O'Brien, Houston Texans agree to interview

Penn State coach Bill O'Brien's potential return to the NFL is picking up steam.

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported on NFL Network's "Around the League Live" that O'Brien is one of the Houston Texans' top candidates to fill their coaching job, according to sources familiar with the team's process. O'Brien and theTexans agreed to have an interview after Christmas, which means it's already happened or it will happen in the near future.

League executives view O'Brien, the former New England Patriots offensive coordinator, as a very real possibility to leap from college back to the NFL. Rapoport notes that O'Brien's NFL buyout was reduced from $13 million to $6.5 million in March. That news was made public in June.

It is surprising from the outside that an NFL team would be so willing to pay a big buyout, but $6.5 million is a relatively small sum for an NFL owner. Rapoport reported that Lovie Smith has already interviewed for the Texans job.
