Donahue of course was the coach at Cornell who made a run to the Sweet 16 in this years NCAA Tournament. He was at Cornell 10 years and this year was actually the Big Red's 3rd NCAA Tourney appearance in a row.
He would replace Al Skinner, who was fired two weeks ago after a long tenure at the heralded Boston school.
Here is some video of Donahue on ESPN's College Gameday show that ran during their "Mic'd up" segment. Thanks ESPN/You Tube:
UPDATE:
OSG Sports talked to a person inside Boston College athletics and confirmed Steve Donohue will be offered the Eagles head coaching position. As OSG reported last week Donohue was on B.C.'s radar screen even before Al Skinner was pink slipped.
