Thorr to BC. Ha ha, I said it.

Just throwing it out there. Why wouldn't he consider it, if they're interested?

Big time football. ACC. Plenty of money. Slam dunk.

Athletics at BC are almost impossible to succeed in. Tough academic requirements to get in, New England is a weak football recruiting area, shitty basketball arena, minimal interest in college sports in Boston.

Wasn't the same true in the early 2000s when BC was very strong in both basketball and football?

From 2001-2010, BC basketball made 7 NCAA Tournaments, include 5 Round of 32s and 1 Sweet Sixteen.

In football, BC went 10/10 in Bowl Game appearances with a 7-3 record, and I believe was one game away from a BCS appearance on 3 separate occasions (2004 - got blownout by a mediocre Syracuse team the last game of the year, if they won they win the BE and go to the Fiesta Bowl; lost in back-to-back ACC Championship games in 2007 & 2008).

I think they've been haunted more by being cheap coupled with some bad hiring decisions.

Better be a hockey guy if you want BC job!

[Rhody15]

Oh 100% it's been about bad hires, also moving to the ACC has brought them less success in recent years, mainly basketball. Football has been ranked recently and almost always makes a bowl game, although not nearly the success Jags had with Matt Ryan.

Of course a good hire can bring any program success, BC just has some limitations that other ACC schools don't have.

They were very short sighted firing Jags because he interviewed for the Jets job.

The basketball program has also been a complete joke since letting go of Skinner.

To quote the late Jerry Krause, BCs new Ad will probably tell Christian, "You can go 40-0 and you still won't be hired back."

[SmartyBarrett]

I think Jarmond was actually one of their first good hires, but he bounced pretty quickly. He seems to have football on the right track. Basketball... I'm not sure if anyone can fix that.

Not sure if this is a step up.

Yep, you're right. BC was consistent. They contended.

They also had some good teams in the mid-80s when Flutie was there and in the early 90s.

Why can't we get coaches like that?

We need a few runs to the Elite Eight or Final Four... BC was in the old Big East, which was arguably the top basketball conference in the country.

BC was in the old Big East for the first half of that stretch, moving to the ACC for the 2005-2006 season. That first season in the ACC was the only time they made it past the round of 32 in that stretch, losing in OT to former BE foe Villanova by a point.

The old Big East was still a very solid conference. UConn, Syracuse, St. John's, Villanova, Georgetown were all basketball powers for years, even well before BC left for the ACC. BC won the conference tournament twice, in 1997 and 2001.
