It looked like Ohio State football and head coach Ryan Day had hit a home run with his new offensive coordinator[autotag]Bill O’Brien[/autotag] .
Unfortunately, the coaching veteran likely won’t make his stay in Columbus very long as the Rich Thompson of the Boston Herald is reporting that O’Brien could soon take over the Boston College program since former Buckeye defensive coordinator, Jeff Hafley, left the position open to join the Green Bay Packers.
This clearly isn’t the best situation for the Buckeyes, as multiple reports had come out that O’Brien was meshing very well with the players and coaches inside the program. The Boston native would return home, but the most important aspect of this decision is about his son, Jack.
Heard @BCFootball and Bill O'Brien are down to the minor details. Possible @ACCFootball announcement on Wednesday. @BosHeraldSports. He won't come cheap with a lot of incentives.

A rare brain condition, which causes daily seizures, would give Jack the best possible medical care in the Boston area. You can’t help but understand the situation, as O’Brien’s move would be what is best for his family if the report is correct.
