You can add another level to the wild and wacky coaching carousel portion of the 2024 offseason. Latest reports indicate that recently hired offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien could already be on his way out to fill the void at Boston College.
The Colombus Dispatch recently reported the opportunity for O’Brien to return to the Boston area as a head coach. BOB spent the last season in the Boston area as the offensive coordinator of the New England Patriots but following Bill Belichick stepping down as the head coach, it was time for a new opportunity.
Taking over the Eagles program would make O’Brien a head coach for the first time since 2020 when he was with the Houston Texans. He was last a head coach with Penn State in 2012 and 2013. O’Brien last coached in the ACC as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Duke Blue Devils in 2005 and 2006.
Pete Thamel of ESPN had a completely different take than that of the Dispatch. Per Thamel, the first round of interviews is set to begin on Tuesday.
Sources: The Boston College football search has two rounds of in-person candidate interviews scheduled for this week, with the first round coming on Tuesday. A final decision is expected by the weekend.
