Christian Hackenberg gives details of hilarious incident of Bill O’Brien’s departure from Penn State
Bill O’Brien developed a deep relationship with his players and amidst them was Christian Hackenberg. The former Penn State quarterback has recently talked about a hilarious incident when he got to know that his coach was going to the Houstan Texans.
Christian Hackenberg says that when he received the call from Bill O’Brien he was actually at a party doing a keg stand! He says that he just randomly picked up the call on the Saturday Down South Podcast hosted by Connor O’Gara.
“I was doing a keg stand, actually,” Hackenberg said. “I was doing a keg stand, and my phone starts buzzing. I thought it was my buddy calling me from the house next door, and I start kicking my legs like, ‘Let me down.’ I pick it up, didn’t even look at the caller ID and I’m like, ‘What’s up? What’s up?’ And it’s ‘Hack.’ I go, ‘Oh. Coach, what’s goin’ on, man?’ And (O’Brien) goes, ‘I’m going to Houston.’”
“Then I walk in the house, it’s all over ESPN and it was super awkward the rest of the night,” Hackenberg said. “I was just like, ‘I’m over this.’”
