The move will bring O’Brien back to Massachusetts after he spent the past year in Foxborough as the offensive coordinator with the New England Patriots. 

The job at Boston College became available last week when Jeff Hafley left to become the defensive coordinator of the Green Bay Packers. 

"I loved my four years at Boston College," Hafley said in a statement released by the school. "This is an exceptional place to coach given the caliber of student-athletes we recruit, the facilities and the support from the university and BC fans. I will miss the players who gave so much of themselves these past four years, and my wife Gina and I will certainly miss the BC community and the many friends we have made here."
