Bill O'Brien still in the mix for Boston College vacancy, per report
Bill O’Brien is Ohio State’s new offensive coordinator for the time being, but he reportedly remains in the mix for the Boston College head coaching vacancy.
On Wednesday, head coach Ryan Day said O’Brien was still with the program and even working inside the building with the Buckeyes. O’Brien recently joined the program as the new OC, but he is in the process of interviewing for the Boston College job.
According to college football insider Bruce Feldman, BC is down to two candidates as finalists for the job. O’Brien is among them after previous reports surfaced earlier in the week that O’Brien was expected to land the job.
