Bill O’Brien led the Boston College Eagles to a 7-6 record in 2024, his first foray back in college football since 2013. He did not have nearly as much success in his encore campaign, finishing 2-10 with victories over only Fordham and Syracuse to bookend 2025. Despite this tough showing, the Eagles remain confident that he can build a consistent winner in Chestnut Hill.
Boston College athletic director Blake James publicly confirmed Tuesday that Bill O’Brien will be retained for the 2026 season. The Eagles are committing to “boost financial support” for O’Brien and give “full revenue share access” for his roster.

— Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) December 2, 2025O’Brien got off to a hot start with the Eagles in 2024 by beating then-No. 10 Florida State in his first game as head coach. That victory, which came with current Seminoles quarterback Thomas Castellanos, helped Boston College earn a spot in the AP poll (No. 24) for the first time since 2018.
With experience at the NFL and collegiate levels, O’Brien has shown he can win games regularly with proper support. The Eagles’ decision to invest in him at a higher clip shows they believe in his abilities. However, they may need to see some progress in 2026 to justify keeping him in the position long-term.
