Boston College athletic director Gene DeFilippo wants someone committed to B.C. to be his head football coach and he has found him. Defensive coordinator Frank Spaziani has been promoted to head coach of the Eagles.Spaziani is a loyal B.C. Eagle, he's been a member of the coaching staff since 1997, the last 9 as defensive coordinator and got a head coaching audition a few years back. At the 2006 Meineke Car Care Bowl Spaziani was the interim head coach for B.C. after Tom O'Brien left for N.C. State. The Eagles won that game to.
Let's face it, DeFilippo put the program in a tough spot firing Jeff Jagodzinski for going on a job interview with the New York Jets. Signing day is a few weeks away and the stability of the Boston College football program was in question. Promoting Spaziani at least keeps the continuity in place.
We here at OSG headquarters aren't that keen on promoting loyal assistants as head coach. It may be popular with the fans and players but those promotions tend to not work out however, B.C. didn't have much of a choice.
