“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 months. I’m flattered that people think I’d be a great fit for the coach there,” Munchak said on Wednesday.
“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.”
Munchak is in his first season as the Titans head coach, and has led them to a 8-7 record so far this season. He played for Paterno at Penn State from 1979-1981.
