Ohio State recently tabbed former PSU/Texans head coach Bill O’Brien to be the team’s next offensive coordinator. However, with Jeff Haffley off to the NFL to be the Packers OC, Boston College is now in need of a head coach. O’Brien has been rumored to be looking for a head coaching job and could be in-line to take over the Eagles job:

Via The Athletic’s Chris Vannini:
“Ohio State offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien just got to Columbus, but he’s been interested in several head coaching jobs over the years,” writes Vannini. “O’Brien is a Boston native who spent six years with the New England Patriots over two stints, including this past year as offensive coordinator. He went 15-9 as Penn State head coach while taking the job amid sanctions from the Jerry Sandusky scandal, so he’s been a college head coach in a difficult spot. As the Houston Texans head coach from 2014 to 2020, he won four division championships in seven seasons.”
