Johnson staying at Penn State!

Can I get a D-line coach? You betcha!

That would be a Mr. Larry Johnson, Sr., the current AND FUTURE defensive line coach for the Penn State football team. Apparently, the Patriot News broke the story, then FOS jumped on board to confirm the news.

What you just heard was a half-million Penn State fans letting out a sigh of relief...

Welcome home, LJS!

Larry Johnson would have made an invaluable addition to the Illini Staff helping not only with the defensive production but immensely with recruiting in the Northeast. Johnson was very interested in the position with Illinois however his wife was dead set against it, being too settled down, rooted and comfortable in her community. Larry Johnson loses a great opportunity to be Associate Head Coach and a step closer to being head coach some day, which was his dream. At Penn State he is mired in a long waiting game. It will be years before he would get an opportunity to "maybe" be Defensive Coordinator at Penn State. It wasn't love for his players or loyalty to Penn State, it was mostly his wife.
