William Lawing (born November 27, 1985) is an American football coach who is the offensive coordinator and tight ends coach for Boston College of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). He previously served as an assistant coach at Penn State University and Juniata College. Lawing served with Bill O'Brien in various assistant coaching roles since 2014, including roles with the Houston Texans, Alabama Crimson Tide, New England Patriots, and Boston College Eagles.
Lawing played college football for the North Carolina Tar Heels, walking on to the team before the 2004 season as a wide receiver.[1]
Starting in 2014, Lawing spent three years as defensive quality control coach for head coach Bill O' Brien and the Houston Texans. He served as an offensive line assistant in 2017 and 2018. On February 5, 2019, Lawing was named the tight ends coach of the Houston Texans.[2]
After the Texans coaching change before the 2021 season, Lawing followed Bill O'Brien to Alabama to work under Nick Saban as an analyst.[3]
On February 2, 2023, Lawing once again followed O'Brien, being hired by the New England Patriots as the team's tight ends coach.[4]
On February 12, 2024, Lawing was hired by Boston College as the offensive coordinator the week after O'Brien accepted the head coaching role.[5]
