couple things
1) D played great Sat in 1st half, I actually complimented Sheridan this morning on his 1970's motivational tweet that he's been sending out (that I'm usually the first to retweet with a comment 'more game planning, less tweeting), I said that they just ran out of gas in 2nd because our ball control pound the rock offense kept running uptempo 3 and out 'drives' due to Bozo head coach
2) I hear Bozo Head Coach is all done (from someone close to the program)
3) two asst coaches got into fist fight last week in meeting, broken up by players, way to control your program Daz
4) fundraising is a shitshow, people laughing and hanging up

take a moment to remember on this date 7 years ago, we were rid of in the words of GDF the 'best coach I've ever seen" Spaz, if only ND had been our last game today could've been the same whacking Daz, BC's newest Holy Day

Moose, is anyone saying who the candidates would be for the next head coach if Daz goes?

There's going to be a big push both inside and outside the program for Schiano, now that his deal with Rutgers looks like it fell apart. Given what he was asking for from Rutgers, I'm not sure how BC could even come close (8 years, 32MM, 25 guaranteed, plus 7.5MM for assistants). I'm a (very small) donor, but I'm not sure i'm on board with that.

he won't get that deal at B.C. either , but BC is a my better job. So maybe he will take less. That said, it won't be much less, and in the end I think the deal doesn't happen, unless a few big boosters make it happen.

Red, no way in hell we'd pay Schiano anywhere near what SUNJ offered, people are saying the shit the AD is getting there for letting him walk may get him back in the door there

I'd heard a rumor weeks ago about Donnie Brown as HC with Campanele as DC, people are throwing shit against the wall to see if it sticks

a of of national writers have the job OPEN so word is out

I think as Big Mike says upthread, you need to see where MJ has been and start the search there. I have always maintained that after the 2017 season MJ told Daz he needed 16 wins over the following 2 years (2018-2019) ,including bowls, to keep his job. I'm thinking he gave Daz a mulligan on the bowl fiasco last year so he "accomplished" 8 wins last year. He needed 8 wins this year. When he lost to ND on Saturday, Daz knew the run was over. He's now coaching for his next job, not to keep his BC post. I think no matter what happens Saturday, he is gone early next week., If they lose, the search starts in earnest and they keep a couple of guys around for early signing day, but essentially the coaches are all given their golden parachutes. if they win, he is dismissed next week, they appoint an interim for the bowl (assuming they still get an invite.....not 100% sure they would anyway) and the HC search starts.

Rumor mill has him in the Rutgers mix and some high school coaches in NJ are advocating for him there. Who knows? But this will be a huge hire and cement MJ's legacy not only at BC but in his future career path.

From what I’ve seen, Schiano has been unfairly smeared for what happened at Penn State with Sandusky. Schiano probably deserves a P5 head coaching job on the merits. But I wouldn’t expect a Catholic school in Boston to be the institution that gives him that opportunity.

Win or lose against the Pitts, really hoping they hire an interim for December/Bowl, and then permanently hire a former BC player, fairly young, currently coaching in the pros for a non-playoff team, that first week of January. First choice Flores (although increasingy doubting he'll be let go). Second choice probably Colombo (although he obviously lacks head coaching experience).

Why even waste the effort to type this?

Flores is in the first year of a guaranteed five-year deal where the stated purpose is to suck now to stockpile assets for later. If anything, he's doing his job too well in the sense that they've won two more games than expected already.

the "if anything" part. (Hoping there's a disagreement between him and ownership on making an effort to win. )

Maybe they get to go back to the First Responder Bowl in Dallas if it still exists? Do they have "dibs"?

Looking it up, it has moved due to the Winter Classic being at the Cotton Bowl, and it doesn't have ACC in their list of preferred teams. I'm guessing Gasparilla or Frisco Bowl

Quick Lane sounds right. Apparently the ACC has 10 teams available but 9 bowl tie ins plus the Orange (which I am guessing they will not get unless Virginia upsets Clemson). So no need to steal another conference's tie in.

I think the administration was prepared to sack Addazio if BC lost yesterday. If they weren’t, they should’ve given him a public vote of confidence weeks ago; allowing uncertainty to linger only hampers Daz’s ability to recruit, as everyone will know he’s on thin ice if he returns next season.

If I’m right about that, then it makes no sense to change course based on a single game. Hopefully, the decision makers will sleep on this, then do exactly what they were going to do if BC had lost over the weekend.

It's at SMU now a modern stadium comparable to Alumni capacity-wise, which is more than enough for a bowl game of that caliber

They won't be playing Troy, that's for sure. The Trojans are 5-7 and there are enough 6 win teams this year.

Addazio has been fired per Pete Thamel.

https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-boston-college-fires-coach-steve-addazio-after-seven-seasons-210735684.html
Boston College fired coach Steve Addazio on Sunday, sources told Yahoo Sports, ending his seven-year tenure with a record of 44-44. Addazio led Boston College to bowl games in six of his seven seasons.
Sources told Yahoo Sports that wide receivers coach Rich Gunnell will serve as the interim coach while BC searches for a replacement.

FootballScoop is saying Addazio was making calls to lobby himself for the Rutgers job in case Schiano didn't end up getting hired.

Talk is Al Washington. That’s a reach but if it works.....what a sea change.

Daz will end Up wherever Urban Meyer goes as his Oline coach.Or he might end up at USF. he knows Florida, can help right that ship and get a 5 yr deal for $2M per =$10M package. Last big payday.

Pretty sure the bowl that is at the bottom of the totem pole of the ACC tieins has no choice unless BC decides to not play in any bowl game.

No one travels to Detroit, and it is generally considered the worst of the ACC tie in games . Not sure BC travels well to NY, but there is a decent alumni presence, and decent Alumni money there. My understanding is the Pinstripe bowl does tend to view BC pretty favorably (more than any other bowl), but that doesn't mean BC will end up there this year

So incredibly happy to hear Daz is gone. Just a joyous day that is FOUR years overdue (still amazes me he survives 2015)

There is enough smoke around Washington to make me think probably is likely. Not really sure, it would be a BC move. One of the things that has always frustrated with me with hires, is they have far to often hired guys who would not be serious candidates at any other P5 school. Both Daz and Spaz were guys who no other P5 school was even interested in interviewing when BC hired them. And i don't believe Washington would be a serious candidate for any other P5 job right now.

But sometimes it works out. Al is BC guy. He had some success as a recruiter at BC. Obviously he gets a great year of training at OSU this year.

Look at some of the other rumored candidates
Norvell (Memphis), Fickell (Cincy). I can't imagine any reason why either guy would take the job, unless BC wants to go crazy and pay about 1 million or more north of what Daz was making. I don't see that happening

Brett Venables, another guy I can't see taking this job.

Don Brown. I hope not. Don's a better coach than Daz, and maybe he would make for a good year or two, but I think the guy is a great DC, I'm just not sure he is up to HC at his age, and I really don't see him changing things here

Jeff Hafley . Has a great recruiting reputation. More experienced than Washington. No ties to BC. Likely a guy who will be considered for other P5 roles that open up. He should be a top candidate

Anothony Campaniele. Considered a strong recruiters, especially in NJ. Was on BC coaching staff . LB coach at Michigan this year.

Probably others out there, but for now, just celebrate

Fantastic news. Bye bye Daz.

Washington fits the AX fit of a young guy (35) with a BC pedigree. Good assistant experience at top football schools in areas where BC should be recruiting. Like this option a lot more than Brown (who I would be ok if he returns as D.C.) totally forgot about washington as an option.

A couple of other guys Thamel mentioned as candidates are Jeff Monken of Army, Saints OC Pete Carmichael(Mass native, BC alum), and Texas A&M DC Mike Elko(NJ native, coached at ND and Wake so he knows the recruiting footprint). Carmichael is the guy I'd target. He runs an offense that kids like to play.

Monken would be analogous to Georgia Tech hiring Paul Johnson....I guess one could say that worked out for the most part.

Has Carmichael been offered a P5 head coaching job before? I ask because while his is the most intriguing name I’ve heard in connection with the BC job, his decade-plus tenure with the Saints makes me wonder if he’d be interested in leading a lower-end major college program — it seems like an opportunity like this must have presented itself before (albeit not at his alma mater).

I’m hoping for someone who will run a wide-open offense, because I think that gives a program like BC that will never consistently recruit elite talent a better chance to punch above its weight than the power-run system that Daz preferred. For that reason, I’m not keen on Monken, even though I get that he probably wouldn’t install a triple option at BC.

My problem with Daz was that he wasn’t capable of adjusting or scheming. He just played his game and hoped for the best. That can’t work when you are being out recruited by the big boys.

He also made Andre a Heisman finalist and draft pick even though he made Sony Michel look like James White out of the backfield. Not saying Andre shouldn’t hate him but I would be it’s because he’s an ass, not because he ran him a bunch to a historic season and a few years of an NFL paycheck.

Keyes posted the full story about how he was banned because he liked a social media post criticizing Daz. He cites those that can verify his story. Amazingly petty and shows how think skinned Addazio was.

He could have all the "tread" (whatever the hell that means outside of some vague thing that can't be defined because it helps your vague argument) in the world and it wouldn't have made him a non-shitty NFL running back.

Edit: And as his Twitter thread reads, it's because of how he treated him post-career.
