BTN/BTN2Go will air Penn State football coach Bill O'Brien's press conference at 9 a.m. ET Monday. The coach, who went right out on the recruiting trail following the regular season, is addressing the media to close out the 2012 season.

In Year 1 of the post-Joe Paterno era, O'Brien led Penn State to an 8-4 record, including 6-2 in Big Ten play – good enough for second place in the Leaders Division. The Nittany Lions were ineligible for the postseason, however, due to NCAA sanctions.

O'Brien, who was courted by NFL teams recently, was named the Hayes-Schembechler and Dave McClain Coach of the Year.

Here's a look at Penn State's 2012 season:
