Bill O'Brien served on Belichick's staff from 2007 to 2011, when he earned the offensive coordinator title, and left his native New England after that.
"When O'Brien joined Saban's staff at Alabama in 2021, he gave Saban a commitment to finish out his two-year contract," Rapoport wrote."That time is coming up, and sources say there has been no extension and that a return to the NFL is a real thought for O'Brien."
O'Brien served on Belichick's staff from 2007 to 2011, when he earned the offensive coordinator title. The Andover, Mass. native left New England after the 2011 season to become Penn State's head coach for the next two years. He returned to the NFL as head coach of the Houston Texans from 2014-20. Currently, he is the offensive coordinator for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
