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?
