Chopping The Heads Off NFL O.C.'s (With ACC Head Coaching In Their Past)

Jeff Jagodzinski has had better years. This past winter Jagodzinski was let go as Boston College head coach because he interviewed for the New York Jets head coaching job after B.C. athletic director Gene DeFlilippo told him that would not be in his best interests. Now the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who hired Jagodzinski as offensive coordinator last January, has fired Jags from that position just before the final pre-season game with Houston. Buccaneers.com released the following statement from Jagodzinski: “I am certainly disappointed but I wish nothing but the best for Raheem Morris and the entire Buccaneer organization. I was given the chance to remain on staff as the quarterbacks coach, but felt that the timing for such a move was not in the best interest for either side. I appreciate the opportunity that was given to me. Again, I wish nothing but the best for this organization.” One conclusion can be drawn before the NFL kicks off its regular season. If your a NFL offensive coordinator and you were a head coach in the ACC in the past, surviving the pre-season is iffy. First former Georgia Tech head coach Chan Gailey is let go by the Kansas City Chiefs, now Jagodzinski. Who's next.
