Boston College head coach Bill O'Brien's college coaching résumé spans Georgia Tech, Maryland, Duke, Penn State, Alabama, Ohio State (briefly), and now the Eagles of Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts.
In the NFL, he's been with the Patriots and was head coach of the Houston Texans.
Saturday, Sept. 5 marks the first head-to-head matchup between O'Brien and UC head coach Scott Satterfield when the Eagles come to Cincinnati. Both coaches need positive results out of the gate for their respective fan bases.
"Just like us, they have a lot of new players," O'Brien said. "Their secondary is out of the portal. They have a veteran offensive line that's very, very good. They have some transfers at wide receiver. So, we don't really know (about UC). We have an idea, but it's the first game, and there are a lot of unknowns."
The series is tied 4-4, but UC has won the last two, including the Jan. 2, 2020 Birmingham Bowl at Legion Field, 38-6. In that game, sophomore quarterback Desmond Ridder ran for three touchdowns and threw for another to take game MVP honors.
