BC Set To Name Frank Spaziani Head Coach

Boston College will name longtime defensive coordinater Frank Spaziani as its new head coach in a press conference this afternoon.

Spaziani will become the program’s 34th head coach, taking over for Jeff Jagodzinski, who was fired after two years at the helm after a bitter breakup with athletic director Gene DeFilippo over an interview with the New York Jets.

Spaziani, 61, has been at BC since 1997 and is regarded as a favorite of the players. He has been the defensive coordinator since 1999 and his defenses have often been among the nation’s best.
