CHESTNUT HILL- Boston College head coach Bill O’Brien officially put to rest any speculation regarding the team’s offensive leadership.

CHESTNUT HILL – There are certainly more questions than answers when it comes to BC football this season. New coaches, almost half of the roster is brand new and after going 2-10, are the Eagles now truly able to compete in the ever evolving college landscape? BC took the first step in trying to answer all those questions on Tuesday morning when they stepped inside Fish Field House around 9:00……
As the snow melts on Chestnut Hill, the Bill O’Brien era enters a pivotal third spring. Coming off a challenging two-win season in 2025, the Eagles are effectively “re-booting” the program.

It’s still stunning that Lewis Bond didn’t get an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine, but Logan Taylor and Jude Bowry repped the Eagles and ‘O-Line U’ well in Indianapolis.

So, while the Eagles don’t technically have an offensive coordinator still (it’s well established NEFJ believes O’Brien should and will ultimately call plays), it’s clear that O’Brien continues to add extremely knowledgable, well-traveled names and faces to the new-look program. Breiner started coaching in 2006, with stops at Lock…
Image courtesy of BC Athletics The good stuff starts on Thursday. It’s NFL Combine week in Indy. Players have gone through interviews with teams and testing, but now the fun begins. That’s because on Thursday, the on-field workouts begin. Edge rushers and defensive linemen kick things off at 3:00 p.m. and BC edge Q Hutchins – who made quite a splash at the Senior Bowl – will be representing the…
Bill O’Brien is entering a make or break third year at the Heights. After offensive coordinator Will Lawing left for the Chicago Bears earlier this offseason season, O’Brien has yet to replace him.
As John Sarianides reported on Tuesday evening, Ben Albert was a name to watch when it comes to the BC D-line position.
Boston College has hired Jules Montinar as the program’s new defensive backs coach. As reported by Matt Zenitz on Tuesday, the Eagles have landed a 15-year coaching veteran to lead their secondary, bringing a wealth of experience from across the college football landscape.
