Bill O'Brien has zeroed in on his offensive coordinator hire at Boston College, as sources told ESPN that the school is working toward a deal to hire Will Lawing, a longtime O'Brien aide.

Lawing worked with O'Brien last year as the tight ends coach with the New England Patriots. He's worked with O'Brien at three other stops: Alabama, the Houston Texans and as a graduate assistant at Penn State.

O'Brien was hired at Boston College on Friday, which is late in the college coaching cycle to put a staff together.
