Report: Agent for Patriots' OC Bill O'Brien denies client's agreement with Penn State

Joe Linta, the agent of New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien, has said that reports that Penn State and O'Brien are close to a deal that would make his client the new head coach of the Nittany Lions are erroneous, according to the Boston Herald.

In a phone interview with the paper, Linta said that O'Brien aspires to be an NFL head coach, though that does not necessarily preclude him from taking the job at Penn State.

Linta went on to say that there is no agreement between the two parties.
