It has been a while since Alabama offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien was a head coach at the college level. He last coached in the Big Ten conference at Penn State in 2012 and 2013. He was then hired as the head coach for the Houston Texans. After a few years in that role, he was relieved of his duties. His most recent stop has been as the play-caller for the Tide’s offense for the past two seasons.
Recently, there have been multiple head coaching positions that have become open. Several of the ones to highlight are Arizona State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Colorado and Georgia Tech.
