Love for players and Penn State kept Larry Johnson Sr. from taking Illinois job

LJ STAYS AT PSUPatriot-News
“…my love for my players, the university and the Penn State family kept me here.”

Larry Johnson, Sr. will remain defensive line coach for the Nittany Lions for the reasons cited above. According to the reports above, he did not ask or receieve a raise or a new title or position.

Johnson sticking around is crucial to the Nittany Lions success. He has developed a series of excellent defensive lineman as well as a strong rotation. He is also cherry-picking recruits from the greater Washington D.C. region. A departure to another Big11Ten program would have been devestating.
