Patriots, Jerod Mayo Offered Bill O’Brien Chance To Return

It’s been a busy start to the offseason for Bill O’Brien, whose held jobs with the New England Patriots, Ohio State Buckeyes and Boston College Eagles all within the first two months of the year.

He didn’t need to make all those moves, however.

O’Brien had an opportunity to return to the Patriots next season, according to Mike Kadlick of WEEI, who spoke with new Boston College head coach at his introductory press conference Thursday.

“I definitely had an opportunity to stay,” O’Brien said, per Kevin Stone of New England Football Journal.
