Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Tom Clements is interested in the Penn State job, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported.</p>
Sources told the paper that Clements, who has coached Aaron Rodgers since 2006, has applied for the job to replace Joe Paterno.</p>
Interim coach Tom Bradley will be interviewed this week and Nittany
Lions quarterbacks coach Jay Paterno was interviewed on Friday. Sources
told the Tribune-Review that the selection committee doesn’t consider
Jay Paterno a leading candidate. Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen and
Harvard coach Tim Murphy are also favorites. Boise State coach Chris Petersen is also said to be a target.</p>
"Penn State needs someone who is a certified straight shooter, someone
with integrity, and someone who is a damn good coach," a source told the
Allentown Morning Call. "By all accounts, these are two guys (Murphy
and Petersen) who fit the bill."</p>
Athletic director Dave Joyner said he hopes to have a new coach hired by
the time Penn State plays in the TicketCity Bowl in Dallas on Jan. 2.</p>
Clements is from Pennsylvania. He was the Steelers’ quarterbacks coach
from 2001-2003, and held the same position with the Chiefs and Saints.
He was a candidate for the Notre Dame job in 2004 that went to Charlie
Weis.</p>
