Bill O’Brien’s tenure with the Ohio State Buckeyes has been incredibly brief, lasting only a few weeks.

However, recent reports suggest that his time with the Buckeyes may be short-lived, as he emerges as a potential candidate for the head coaching position at Boston College.

Heard @BCFootball and Bill O'Brien are down to the minor details. Possible @ACCFootball announcement on Wednesday. @BosHeraldSports. He won't come cheap with a lot of incentives.

This sudden development follows the departure of Boston College’s previous head coach, who recently joined the Green Bay Packers.

Sources indicate that O’Brien and the ACC program may be in the final stages of negotiating a deal as soon as Monday afternoon. While Ohio State stands to lose a valuable member of their coaching staff, particularly in the offensive coordinator role, it’s essential to recognize the allure of an ACC head coaching opportunity.

For Ohio State, this abrupt turn of events comes amidst an eventful offseason marked by significant transfers landing at the university.

With expectations high, Ohio State is anticipated to secure a prominent position in the top three rankings as they approach the 2024 regular season. Nevertheless, the Buckeyes may find themselves in need of a new offensive coordinator in the near future.
