00:00 >> Coach, I was hoping we get to meet the pride of Boston today.
00:03 Can you confirm Coach O'Brien's candidacy at BC and where that's at?
00:10 >> Yeah, no, no real updates there.
00:11 He's working today and we'll kind of see how it goes.
00:15 >> He's in the building?
00:16 >> He's here today, yeah.
00:17 >> Right behind him, Adam King, WBNS.
00:20 >> What was it about O'Brien that made him the right hire here?
00:24 >> Yeah, I think at the end of the season, you look hard at what kind of changes
00:29 need to be made and as we know at Ohio State, we're chasing that 1 or 2%, right?
00:36 We're chasing that last couple drives of a game or whatever that is.
00:42 And I felt like in that particular situation, for
00:49 me to really be able to hand over a lot of the duties that I was doing.
00:56 I really was looking for somebody who had great background in the NFL,
01:02 the SEC, he's a former head coach.
01:05 He had been a head coach in the league and
01:08 the experience of developing quarterbacks was there.
01:13 So I just, and then the fit culturally was the right fit.
01:17 >> So he's gonna hand over play calling duties to those coming teams?
01:20 >> Yeah, that'd be the idea.
01:22 >> Let's go far left, Dave Biddle, 24/7 Sports.
01:26 >> Brian, have you joked with Jeff Hathaway that he's on the verge of
01:28 negatively affecting you twice now?
01:30 >> Yeah, god dang.
01:32 Yeah, it was not good.
01:34 But I spoke to Jeff and happy for him that he's got a new challenge ahead of him.
01:42 But yeah, that was a curveball, we were not expecting,
01:44 we were expecting a fastball and got a curveball.
