OT: Bill O'Brien to be named HC at BC

Whatever causes upheaval and additional work for OSU is all well and good by me. 

I'm not really sure what to make of O'Brien. He did great at Penn State given the circumstances. I thought his teams would be lucky just to make it to .500 but they went beyond that. His time with the Texans, overall, was pretty good. Again, taking the whole body of work, minus trading De'Andre Hopkins away for a way-over-the-hill RB and some duct tape. He had some good teams there that made the playoffs. 

He probably is a terrible GM, but I'm not all that convinced he isn't a good coach. Either way, I don't see this as a net positive for OSU, and whatever they decide to do next, its going to cause more upheaval with trying to find new options. I'm sure they'll find someone, but whatever makes their jobs harder, I'm all for it.

OSU fans were happy he was hired and happy when he took the BC job. what a wild two week ride 

I wonder if Julian’s Sayans decision to attended OSU had to do with familiarity with BOB, and now he is leaving, what impact will these have on Julian ?

we are winning again!!!!!! yaaaaaaaaaaaaay. leave on a high note. 

This will test Day's resolve to let go of calling plays. If he elevates Brian Hartline I think it will be difficult to fully give up control. OTOH if Day's Plan B is another experienced play caller then he is serious about becoming a CEO HC.

Thamel breaking another OSU story - how interesting.

It's a better hire than Boston College football has any right to pull off.

He's going to coach both places? I'm confused. When the Ohio University does something I thought that was that. I hope they are investigating.

This is bad for Ohio. If nothing else BoB was going to run the football. The backfield is the strength of this years Ohio offense. Now that he is gone Ryan Day will revert back to playcaller duties. And well, we can all imagine how that goes. 

So once he got to know Cryan and the fanbase of low expectations he bailed....huh?

Wink scared him off

I nominate Kerry Coombs!

Why am I seeing Chip Kelly's name everywhere for this?  Why would a guy who's actively trying to get out of college football take a massive pay cut to remain in college?

It always felt like a weird stop-gap anyway, and the internal chatter I heard was that BoB wasn't super-excited about basically being just an extension of Ryan Day in terms of play calling.  

I'm sure they'll fine...someone to fill that spot.  I do wonder if they just promote internally at this point.

OSU fans hated the hire, they are placated now

watch Day retake OC duties lol

None of it matters if they still can't block.  And if the 5 star dude from Bama that Josiah blew up plays center they won't be able to snap either.  Fun times.

Grand Opening, Grand Closing

Actually kinda bummed he won't be running their offense, he's always been a bit of an idiot at crucial points and with game management. 

They think theyre getting CHip Kelly which will be way worse for the big ten than BOB. Kelly would be a top notch OC if he's willing to coach under Day.

OSU's 2024 good luck continues.

This is bad news for Julian Sayin.

OSU will hire Eric Bieniemy.

Bill O'Brien is the Lloyd Carr of Bill Callahans.
