2026 February Dinner

February 12, 2026

Join us February 12th, 2026 6-9 pm EST at the Knights of Columbus in Arlington, Ma for our February members dinner.

Speaker: Bill O’Brien

Bill O’Brien was hired as the 37th head coach in Boston College football history on Feb. 9, 2024, and in his first season led the Eagles to a 7–6 record, a Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl appearance, a top-10 road win at Florida State, and their first six-win season at Alumni Stadium since 2009. BC ranked in the national top 25 in nine FBS statistical categories, including first in the ACC in fewest penalties per game, while Donovan Ezeiruaku earned ACC Defensive Player of the Year honors, the Ted Hendricks Award, and consensus All-America recognition after leading the nation in sacks. A 32-year coaching veteran, O’Brien owns a 74–63 career head coaching record across college football and the NFL, including successful head coaching tenures at Penn State (2012–13) and with the Houston Texans (2014–20), where he won four AFC South titles and reached the playoffs four times. He has also served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Alabama, helping develop Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young, and held multiple roles with the New England Patriots under Bill Belichick, contributing to two Super Bowl appearances and working directly with Tom Brady during MVP and All-Pro seasons. A Massachusetts native, O’Brien played linebacker at Brown University and brings extensive ACC, Big Ten, SEC, and NFL experience to Boston College, where he continues to build a competitive, disciplined program.

I am sincerely honored to serve as President this year.  It is my goal to increase membership and continue to carry out the decades-long Touchdown Club’s purpose and mission to promote the physical and social welfare of the youth of Arlington as well as to promote fellowship and sociability among the members.

During my stewardship, we hope to highlight our legacy through different media to grow membership and promote the proud fact that we are the only organization in Arlington that donates generously to all youth sports, all ages, both boys and girls…and has been for 80 years!

And we gather at our dinner meetings which are always very social and entertaining.  We take pride in our unique dinner-meeting format.  After all, we invite speakers from all over the world of Boston area sports, from Hall of Fame athletes, and nationally known journalists, to acclaimed sports coaching and media personalities.

We’d love for all of you to attend these fun evenings as often as you can, and bring friends!

Sincerely,
Paul Buckley, President, Arlington Touchdown Club
