BC coach Jeff Hafley left to be the Packers new defensive coordinator. The Buckeyes will now be looking for another new play-caller with O’Brien heading back to Boston.
Update: nothing official quite yet on BC’s search:
Sources: The Boston College football search has two rounds of in-person candidate interviews scheduled for this week, with the first round coming on Tuesday. A final decision is expected by the weekend.

Seeing speculation on Bill O'Brien + BC. Is he a serious candidate? Yes. He's from the area, and his family loves the school in the region his special needs son attends. Is a deal done? No. Like @PeteThamel, I have been told there are in-person interviews scheduled for tomorrow.
