How did Boston College land Bill O'Brien? I remember him being in the converstation when we were looking in 2022. Seems like he had a pretty good coaching repuation. Thought he might be able to do better than Boston College. Has his star faded?

He may have pushed for job. They said last night he grew up 30 minutes from campus and father still lives there

I feel like he was lower on people’s HC radars for the 3 years he was an OC at Alabama and New England. He was also pretty far removed from his last HC job in College at PSU. So most the premier jobs were chasing hotter names but he’s always been a good HC.

Welcome to Chestnut Hill, Bill O’Brien

He grew up rooting for the Eagles. Now he's Boston College’s new football head coach.

Spoiler: grew up a BC fan, family in the area and I think his family has stayed in Boston in recent years while he's been elsewhere, son has a rare brain disorder so being in Boston is great for them medically

For me personally I think he's a very good coach but ADs like to hire dudes they can fantasize about being there for 20 years even though that never happens anymore

The son health stuff is 99% of the reason he’s there. He had other offers
 
Holy crummy play calling, Batman. Northwestern - in double OT - runs wide on 3rd and a foot at the 3 yard line … and loses 10 yards on the play.

Duke holds on 4th down and wins the game.

Turrible.
