Speculation and rumors about potential replacements for Jeff Hafley at Boston College after he left for the Packer’s defensive coordinator job are circulating. The latest buzz surrounding the Eagles vacancy now features former Wisconsin football head coach Paul Chryst.
Coach Chryst interviewed for a handful of other Power 5 head coaching jobs this offseason, such as Northwestern, Indiana, and Oregon State.
The Madison native was also strongly considered for the Iowa offensive coordinator position before ultimately returning to Texas as an analyst and special assistant to Steve Sarkisian.
That said, the rumblings are that Ohio State offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien and Chryst are both on the short list of serious candidates for the Boston College head coaching spot—and there’s some mutual interest.
