Bill O’Brien has a unique perspective on the sad situation happening in Waco, Texas currently as the school is undergoing a cleaning of the house amidst a sexual assault scandal and cover up. O’Brien knows how hard it will be for head coach Jim Grobe and his staff to move forward because he too took over a program that was affected by off-field issues that were bigger than the game itself.
After Penn State University dealt with the aftermath of Jerry Sandusky, O’Brien left his job as offensive coordinator for the New England Patriots and took on the tough task of running the Nittany Lions program.
