Bill O'Boyle (born October 18, 1963) is an American football offensive line coach at Southern Illinois University and former player. He was previously served as the head football coach at Chadron State College in Nebraska, a position he has held from 2005 through the 2011 seasons. Midway through the 2011 season, O'Boyle was relieved of his coaching duties as a result of an investigation of potential NCAA violations under his watch.[1] After an investigation revealed he had mishandled athletic funds, college official announced in December 2011 that O'Boyle would not return as the Eagles' head coach.[2] In 2007, he was awarded the Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year Award for NCAA Division II.[3]

Coaching career

O'Boyle took over the head coaching job at Chadron State College in 2005. During his tenure with the Eagles, he won three Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference championships, advanced to the NCAA Division II National Football Championship three times and coached former Harlon Hill Trophy winner Danny Woodhead. During his seven season tenure, he compiled an overall record of 57 wins and 21 losses (57–21).[4] In March 2012, O'Boyle was hired to serve as offensive coordinator at Colorado Mesa.[5]
