"I'm not a one-and-done guy," O'Brien told pennlive.com on Thursday night. "I made a commitment to these players at Penn State and that's what I am going to do. I'm not gonna cut and run after one year. That's for sure."

Transation: I'll stay at Penn State since they will now be paying me more $$$ than the Browns offered.

He lost the moral ability to say "true Penn Staters ride out the scantions".

How Pegula's billions kept O'Brien at Penn State

In addition to a clear testing of the pro head coaching waters, this was a strategic mission of sorts by O'Brien. By having Linta throw his name open to NFL openings and having the agent field offers, he was able to gain additional leverage that allowed him a chance to accomplish structural and personnel changes in the Penn State athletic department that may be forthcoming. O'Brien declined to be specific about those changes when asked but he did not deny those aims.
O'Brien acknowledged that PSU donor Terry Pegula, financier of the new Penn State hockey arena, has been a major ally in his efforts. Pegula was the first person who contacted O'Brien in late 2011 when he was eventually interviewed for the job.

Though O'Brien was not specific about it, high-level PSU sources have told me that a $1.3 million donation is to be added to O'Brien's salary in the coming year that will bump his total compensation to $3.6 million and place him behind only Ohio State's Urban Meyer ($4.3M) and Iowa's Kirk Ferentz ($3.8M) as the third-highest-paid coach in the Big Ten.

So Ped Aggy's most important donor is focused almost solely on athletics. In contrast, NONE of Ohio State's major donors are focused even marginally on athletics as evidenced by the fact that the athletic department just received its first (barely) 8 figure donation this year whereas I've lost track of how many 8 figure donations to academics we've received.

Yet, according to their fanbase, they have no culture problem, and we're the football factory. Rivalry or no rivalry, I don't see how anyone could possibly hate Michigan more than that fucking incestuous clown college.
