O'Brien, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, led the Eagles to a 9-3 record this season. He had a 75-45 record in 10 seasons with the Eagles. Boston College plays Navy in the Dec. 30 Meineke Car Care Bowl.
The board of governors has scheduled a Friday meeting to approve O'Brien's contract. Terms of the deal weren't immediately known.
An announcement is expected Thursday.

| Completely shocked on this one, I thought Navy's coach was a lock for the job, but BC's coach jumping down to a lower talented school in State and staying in the same conference not sure how smart it was on his part...
Thoughts?
