Default BC coach leaves. Bad news for the Patriots?

Boston College coach Tom O'Brien left for NC State today. Rumors over there that since Bob Kraft is on BC's Board of Directors that he will push for Dan Pees to be a candidate for the job. Have to think this would be a disaster for the Patriots.

I assume you mean Dean Pees. (I'm not being facetious, just checking he hasn't got a son or nephew called Dan).

But maybe that would open a coordinator role up for the soon-to-be-former-head coach of the Cleveland Browns?

Good point.

Or until Belichick goes to Kraft and says dont do it because three defensive coordinators in three years isn't good. Push for somebody else (although I do like the idea of Crennel coming back).

or Coughlin comes back

rumors aside, I don't see what would be so enticing for Dean Pees at BC...he has already done his time at the college level as a HC (yes--Kent State, but still HC), and his career reads as someone aspiring to an NFL HC position if anything...

The Browns' win last week was pretty big for Crennel getting another year, I think. One more win should do it for him.

I certainly hope Pees doesn't leave.

Can't really imagine Dean Pees really wanting the BC job, actually.

Do a good job as the Pats DC, and in a couple years, you'll get a head coaching job in the NFL.

BC doesn't have Notre Dame's tradition and spotlight, and it's hardly a football powerhouse.

I just don't see the appeal, when he could just wait a few years and probably be on the short-list to take over for, say, Couglin w/ the Giants.

The parallels between Crennel leaving the Pats to go coach the Browns, only to return to be Belichick's DC a few years later, and BB returning to DC for Parcells after going to coach the Browns for a while would be really weird.

Wow, O'Brien was adament yesterday that he's not a candidate for any job and his only concern is getting BC ready for the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
