COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina special teams coach John Butler is heading to Penn State. A person familiar with the deal says Butler is leaving the Gamecocks after one season to join the staff of new Nittany Lions coach Bill O'Brien. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither South Carolina nor Penn State have announced Butler's move. Butler is from Philadelphia. He has also coached in the Big Ten Conference before, spending four seasons at Minnesota coaching special teams and linebackers. O'Brien took over at Penn State last week, replacing Joe Paterno who was fired Nov. 9 in the aftermath of child sex abuse charges against retired defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
