The Browns' win last week was pretty big for Crennel getting another year, I think. One more win should do it for him.But maybe that would open a coordinator role up for the soon-to-be-former-head coach of the Cleveland Browns?
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.
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.
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.
Well I for one am hoping O'Brien does a great job at NC State. BC can find a new head coach elsewhere - and I don't imagine it likely it will be from the Pats staff.Boston College coach Tom O'Brien left for NC State today.

The story was first broken yesterday a.m. by the Morning Mojo sports radio show on 620 AM here in Raleigh. Sportcenter on ESPN and the Boston Globe web site has it today. Sorry for the BC fans, but it's true.Where are these rumours originating? Any link? Because this just sounds like someone's idea of stit-shirring.
Regardless of what Pees may or may not feel about the possibility of stepping down as a professional DC to become a college coach, how would this be in Kraft's interest at all? To weaken his own product? Does Pees have any connections at all to BC? Without that, how would he help recruitment or fund-raising for the school? This isn't Charlie Weis here, returning to his alma mater (Notre Dame '78) to restore its former glory. Pees went to Bowling Green, and was the head coach for Kent State, after tenures at Michigan State and ND. He is clearly a Midwest guy...
Honestly, this "rumour" sounds completely lacking in substance.
