Former Texans head coach/Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O'Brien was hired to be the offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes in 2024 but there has apparently been a change in plan according to Peter Thamel of ESPN.com.

O’Brien is working to finalize a deal to become the next head coach at Boston College. The pact is expected to be in place soon.  Boston College’s previous head coach Jeff Hafley left the school to become the defensive coordinator for the Packers late last month.

O’Brien went 15-9 over two seasons as the head coach at Penn State before becoming the Texans head coach in 2014. He was 52-48 in Houston before being fired early in the 2020 season and spent two years running Alabama’s offense before spending last season in New England.
