Boston College coach Bill O'Brien eager to embrace challenges in Year 1 leading Eagles
In a Q and A with CBS Sports' John Talty, the veteran coach gives his opinion on NIL, the transfer portal and what he learned from Nick Saban at Alabama
By John Talty • 6 min readBill O'Brien knows how hard you think it is to win at Boston College. He's heard it left and right since taking over the BC program in February. After spending last season as the New England Patriots offensive coordinator, O'Brien was slated to take the same role for Ryan Day at Ohio State before the Boston College job opened up late in the cycle. Jeff Hafley's decision to leave BC for a defensive coordinator job in the NFL prompted many to wonder whether more college coaches will ditch the headaches of the transfer portal and name, image and likeness for the professional ranks.
Many of those problems are compounded at a place like Boston College, which doesn't boast the same kind of resources many blueblood programs can pour into their teams. For O'Brien, it was the challenges that attracted him to the job.
"Without a shadow of a doubt, it's a motivating factor for me," O'Brien told CBS Sports. "All I hear is what a tough job it is. But Boston College is a very special, unique place to me and my family. I'm from here and when I was a kid, I grew up dreaming of being the head coach at Boston College. I watched Jack Bicknell, I watched Tom Coughlin when I was younger and then Tom O'Brien as I was coaching what they did here.
"Every job I've ever had has been tough. I had the Penn State job right after Joe Paterno. I had the Houston Texans job in the National Football League. (Also) working as an assistant in the NFL with the Patriots -- those aren't easy jobs."
