Najarian has spent the last 24 years with the New England Patriots, primarily in Director of Football and Head Coach Administration roles. He is widely reported to be very close with Bill Belichick, with the two having won six Super Bowls together. O’Brien worked with Najarian in both of his stints on the Patriots, and described Najarian as “the consigliere of the New England Patriots.”
Najarian will fill the role of chief of staff at BC, and his hiring signifies Boston College’s commitment to providing O’Brien with the resources he needs to build a competitive staff. Exciting times for football on the Heights.
