Bill O'Brien became Pennsylvania State University 15th football coach in school history on January 7, 2012. Bill O'Brien became the Houston Texans head coach officially on January 3, 2014. Bill O'Brien is back in the NFL after being an assistant coach in New England from 2007-11. He's most remembered for his in game sideline argument with Tom Brady. Despite all the sanctions the NCAA handed down to Penn State following the Jerry Sandusky fall out, O'Brien led the Nittany Lions to a 15-9 record overall in 2 seasons and 10-6 in the Big Ten. Penn State in what would be O'Brien last game as head coach knocked off Wisconsin on the road. Last off season Bill O'Brien name was in the mix for NFL head coaching jobs, he fielded a few interviews but decided to come back to University Park. However the Houston Texans obviously made him an offer he couldn't refuse, so he won't be coming back to Happy Valley. Houston started the 2013 season 2-0 and went on to lose 14 straight games. Their 2-14 record will get the Texans the #1 overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft. O'Brien and his staff will have to address several things, number one issue is the quarterback position. It'll be interesting to see who'll be in the running to replace O'Brien at Penn State.
