During his time as an offensive coordinator at Georgia Tech, the team was 15-11. Following that, he was the offensive coordinator at Duke for two years while they posted a 1-22 record with a win over Virginia Military Institute. I know it?s Duke, but?1-22. He then landed in New England where he held various offensive assistant jobs until being named the offensive coordinator. For what it?s worth, he was on the staff when Charlie Weis left, but Belichek handed the reigns over to 29 year old Josh McDaniels. Then, when McDaniels left, the Patriots went 2 years with WITHOUT an offensive coordinator, rather than naming O?Brien to the job. They made the playoffs both of those seasons.
