The Penn State Nittany Lions have reportedly finished adding assistant coaches under new head coach Bill O'Brien (via Philly.com). However, Penn State football SID Jeff Nelson tweeted that the school will not announce the coaching staff officially until

all University employment procedures have been completed (via Twitter)

O'Brien reportedly added South Carolina special teams coach John Butler and New England Patriots offensive assistant George Godsey to his staff. Butler will likely coach defensive backs while Godsey will be the quarterbacks coach.

O'Brien wanted to have his staff in place by today. It appears that the only members that aren't currently staffed are GA positions.
