No Surprise...
Quite frankly, this whole situation is a new twist for the Coaching Carousel. Normally coaches come and go and interview for jobs as they please, this is the first time we have ever heard of a coach losing a job for "Interviewing" for another. Though we don't necessarily agree with the tone of how DiFilippo handled this one. We do agree that there needs to be something in place to keep coaches from freely jumping from job to job whenever they feel like it.
To the surprise of well, no one, Boston College has fired Head Football Coach Jeff Jagodzinski. The announcement, to the surprise of well, nobody was made by BC Athletic Director Gene DiFilippo at a Wednesday afternoon press conference.
DiFilippo did not take questions at the presser in which he announced that as difficult a decision that it was, he needed to make it in order to find someone "Committed" to the BC Football program. He also added that he has "Already begun the search for a new head coach".
What about Jags?
Fear not for Coach Jags. Though he probably won't end up getting the Jets job, he will land on his feet. There are several reports saying that he may end up as the Offensive Coordinator for the Seattle Seahawks.
