"Bill O'Brien's last day as a dishwasher will be Sunday.

The following morning he will be Penn State's head coach, a job he accepted several weeks ago but treated as a side gig because the offense he coordinated in New England continued to pester opposing defenses so effectively that it, and he, are otherwise occupied Super Bowl week even though today is national signing day.

The position in which O'Brien finds himself may seem difficult to some, but not to O'Brien. He is a guy who understands his role today, Sunday and when a new day dawns on Monday."
