On her latest Making Monsters, Taylor Doll chats with former NFL Coach and current Boston College Head Coach Bill O\u2019Brien about Chicago Bears left tackle Ozzy Trapilo and his time at B.C. They discuss his size, versatility, and why he fits so well in a Ben Johnson offense protecting a quarterback like Caleb Williams.<\/p>\n
They also discuss the recent hire of Bears assistant coach Will Lawing and their 13 years together. The Bears have yet to announce the move, but Coach O\u2019Brien broke the news that Lawing was leaving B.C. to join Ben Johnson\u2019s coaching staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe hired him as a GA [grad assistant] when I was a head coach at Penn State,\u201d Coach O\u2019Brien said about Lawing. \u201cHe had been a coach at Juniata, which is a small school, small program in Pennsylvania. And then I brought him to Houston [Texans]. He was [defensive] quality control. He coached the tight ends, was on defense, worked for Romeo Cornell and Mike Vrabel in Houston. We moved him over to offense, and then I brought him to Alabama. He was an analyst for us at Alabama for two years. Patriots tight end coach in \u201823, and then offensive coordinator here in \u201824 and \u201825. He\u2019s a grinder. His dad was a coach, so he comes from a coaching family. He totally understands football. He\u2019s really good with the players. He\u2019s tough. He\u2019s demanding, but he has a great relationship with the players.\u201d<\/p>\n
