Would be a home run if true.Sounds like BC is going to hire Bill O'Brien, would be a solid hire for them

On paper it's a good fit. BOB clearly has an affinity for New England, so he may stick around long enough to build a solid foundation in Chestnut Hill. My guess is that he'll be able to attract some good QBs and TEs but struggle bringing in enough talent elsewhere to actually be competitive in The ACC. He could put a dent in recruiting for programs like Rutgers, Syracuse, and Pitt who recruit the same level of talent.Sounds like BC is going to hire Bill O'Brien, would be a solid hire for them
Son is a pitcher @ Tufts as well.O'Brien should do a good job at BC as long as he hires some good recruiters. I think he wants to be at BC as he grew up in the Boston area and went to Brown. O'Brien's wife went to Boston College and her college roommate is married to Doug Marrone.
Grow upThis sucks for us. Just when I thought we had caught up with them after the ‘22 season. The Mora>Hafley was the biggest advantage we had but now it has flipped
Ok Mr Ostrich. Our main rival was on the cliff but pulled off the great escape. It sucks.Grow up
He isn’t Saban. I think you are giving hiim too much credit. I do think he is a good hire for BC. But is he any better of a coach than Mora…that‘s debatable.Ok Mr Ostrich. Our main rival was on the cliff but pulled off the great escape. It sucks.
They did a thing. We move on. You want NE football to be a thing then you'll need those scumbags to be decent at football. I only hate them because they're terrible people who treat people like crap and ive seen it personally. It is better for uconn for both to be good.He isn’t Saban.

Yeah this is true. At the end of the day, New England is not respected in college football right now. BC being good is probably good for us/region.They did a thing. We move on.

A financial interest in the university? How is that possible?Unlike you I have a stake in the success of the University of Connecticut. But you wouldn't know anything about that.
BOB is light years better than Mora. He did a very good job at PSU and with the Texans. He will recruit very well at BCU with his resume. He will raise a lot of NIL money for BCU. This is an epic hire for that program. The big question is “what is the UConn response “? I think we should fire Mora now and hire Chip Kelly. We need to respond or we will be completely irrelevant.He isn’t Saban. I think you are giving hiim too much credit. I do think he is a good hire for BC.

My comment was supportive in that case. He's saying they hired a guy. It isn't the end of the world. So in my way I'm saying likewise, is not the end of the world.I think you responded to the wrong person.
Well, you see, when you're an alumni of a school and they do good, people irrationally think better of you...A financial interest in the university? How is that possible?
I think we're going to see some spicy recruiting battles between BC, Syracuse, and Rutgers throughout the Northeast for that second tier of recruits. The additions of BOB and Fran Brown will hurt teams like Pitt, Temple, UVA, and a few others that need these mid to low 3 stars to fill out their rosters. No doubt in my mind that he'll still be able to pull quarterbacks and tight ends out of the portal. As for Chip Kelly, I think that ship has sailed. His actions scream that he wants nothing to do with being a HC in modern CFB. NIL and Transfer Portal we're a complete turnoff for him. Dude wants to diagram plays on an IPad.BOB is light years better than Mora. He did a very good job at PSU and with the Texans. He will recruit very well at BCU with his resume.

What did they do to you? Did they make you watch their basketball highlights from 2014?They did a thing. We move on.

Things seem to have changed up there at BCU. supposedly they are paying BOB 5 million per year. They just hired away the Florida strength and conditioning coach.I don't care how good a coach BOB is, BC isn't going anywhere. They will remain uncompetitive for top recruits as the school is simply not committed to competing at the highest level of college athletics.
I’m a 3rd generation undergrad and my disgust with UConn is their continued horrible management. I think we can both agree that UConn should be a top 20 football program with a full share B1G invite. If BCU gets really good they will get the B1G invite and we will be screwed once again!Well, you see, when you're an alumni of a school and they do good, people irrationally think better of you...
I signed on affirmatively to UConn as a grad student because I saw the stuff they were doing at the time and thought they were on the rise.
