Bill O’Brien is an avid reader. He likes to juggle multiple books at a time. Right now, he’s reading The Last Pass (about Bob Cousy and Bill Russell), The Baddest Man on the Planet (Mike Tyson) and Blood & Hate (Marvin Hagler).

Bill O’Brien said that if he weren’t coaching football, he would probably be a high school history teacher.

Bill O’Brien is now speaking on ESPN College GameDay. That’s now one podium interview, one group interview, eight radio/podcast interviews and two TV interviews in a span of four hours.

Bill O’Brien said there’s a small margin of error at BC. “The difference between seven wins and 10 wins is not that big of a difference.” He said it often comes down to the turnover battle, penalty battle and other similar variables. A few pivotal plays can shape a season.

Next up for Bill O’Brien: a conversation with Wes Durham.

Bill O’Brien hops on a podcast and half-jokes midway through that he can’t believe they haven’t asked him about the hole-in-one yet. He’s exuberant. Truly thrilled.

Radio time for Lewis Bond as well. Dozens of tables downstairs in the lobby, with players and coaches cycling in and out.

Bill O’Brien spoke at the podium, then on TV, then to local reporters, and now he’s on the radio. Radio interview starts with a joke about the program getting a Bill who coached the Patriots on the air. O’Brien: “Sorry it’s the wrong Bill. It’s the Irishman from Boston.”

Bill O'Brien: "We're on the right track when it comes to revenue sharing at Boston College."

Bill O'Brien on Bill Belichick: "He has a great way of connecting with all kinds of people."
