Forced to scramble to find a new head coach after Ed DeChellis abruptly left for Navy, Penn State reportedly called Larry Brown on Thursday.

According to the Patriot-News, Penn State athletic director Tim Curley reached out to Brown, but told him the school was looking for a candidate with more recent college coaching experience.

“I'd be interested (in Penn State),” Brown told the Patriot-News' David Jones. “But I don't really feel like there's much interest (from Curley) in me.”
