CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. -- Bill O'Brien was officially introduced as the new head football coach at Boston College on Thursday in a move that athletic director Blake James called a "monumental step."
BC hasn't won eight games in a season since 2009, and the hiring of a veteran NFL and college coach like O'Brien offers a harbinger of optimism moving forward. The over-arching theme of the day was a return home for O'Brien, who grew up in the area and has a deep family history at Boston College.
"I went into coaching in 1993 when I got out of Brown," O'Brien said.
