Pat O’Hara’s family circle got a little larger this weekend. At the same time, a hole in his life presumably was closed.
The Tennessee Titans quarterbacks coach revealed on Twitter early Sunday that he met his birthmother, a woman he said, “is beautiful inside and out.” O’Hara is 52 years old.
Raised in Santa Monica, Calif., he was a two-sport star (football and baseball) at Santa Monica High School. In football, he was the Bay League Player of the Year as a senior.
O’Hara attended USC, where he was a backup quarterback behind Rodney Peete (1988) and Todd Marinovich (1990). In between, a knee injury sustained fewer than two weeks before the start of the 1989 season cost him an opportunity to be the starter. He graduated with nine career pass attempts (seven completions) and a degree in public administration.
