Boston College is enhancing its football program by hiring former NFL head coach Doug Marrone as the new Senior Analyst for Football Strategy/Research. Marrone, who has previously led the Buffalo Bills and the Jacksonville Jaguars, also boasts experience from his roles at Syracuse, the New Orleans Saints, and Alabama as the Offensive Line (OL) coach. His recruitment is part of a strategic move by Bill O'Brien, who is assembling a notable coaching staff at Boston College, including Rob Chudzinski, another former NFL head coach serving as a senior offensive analyst. This addition marks the presence of three former NFL head coaches on the Boston College staff. Marrone's hiring is not just a professional reunion with Bill O'Brien, but also a personal one, as they share a long-standing friendship. The two will have a public reunion on November 9 when Syracuse University visits Boston College.
