LSU has announced the addition of 11 new coaches to its football staff, most of whom have SEC and NFL experience, including offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. and special teams coordinator Joe Houston, with many coming from Ole Miss where they contributed to a highly successful 2025 season.
Boston College is close to finalizing a deal to hire Bill O'Brien as their next head coach, bringing the Massachusetts native back home with extensive NFL experience and strong local ties. O'Brien, who recently served as the offensive coordinator at Ohio State, has a history with the New England Patriots and strong connections to the Boston area. His hiring is expected to be announced soon, and he will take over from Jeff Hafley, who left to become the defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. O'Brien's track record as a quarterback tutor and his success at Penn State and with the Houston Texans make him an attractive hire for Boston College as they look to improve their national standing.
