O'Brien's BC Struggles Exposed | Boston College Football News

Bill O’Brien’s Boston College tenure is hitting turbulence after a promising 2024 season, with a brutal 2025 campaign marked by just two wins. Despite his elite resume—working under Belichick and Saban, coaching Penn State and the Texans—the Eagles’ recruiting ranks lag behind Power Four peers, sitting around 71st nationally. Yet they’ve outperformed rivals like FSU and Pitt in NFL player development, sending 13 to the draft over two years. Still, their SP+ ranking hovers at 74th, offense at 67th, defense at 80th. With only half their production returning and no preseason All-ACC or top-100 players, BC is leaning heavily on transfers—including a Division II QB—to turn things around.
