STATE COLLEGE, Pa., Jan. 2 (UPI) -- Defensive line coach Larry Johnson has been named interim coach at Penn State while Nittany Lions officials search for a full-time coach.
Penn State Coach Bill O'Brien is leaving the school after two seasons to become the head coach of the NFL's Houston Texans. O'Brien has led the football program since Penn State's scandal involving child abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
