You Can Meet Bill O’Brien!

Bill O'Brien from Will Derrick

Now that I have your attention, let me explain the details. The past year has seen significant coaching changes within the Penn State athletic department with the hires of Pat Chambers and Bill O’Brien. Turn back the clock a little further, and you also have Cael Sanderson and Coquese Washington who have done wonders for their respective programs already.

The next month will allow Nittany Lions fans who live outside of State College to meet O’Brien and some of these other coaches as a Penn State Coaches Caravan hosted by the Penn State Alumni Association and the Nittany Lion Club will make eighteen breakfast, lunch, or dinner stops up and down the east coast. The exact locations are listed below while the website provides more details regarding fees and policies:
