Boston College fires coach Steve Addazio
Addazio led the Eagles to six bowl games.
Boston College was able to salvage its season by securing a bowl berth Saturday, but it wasn’t enough for coach Steve Addazio to save his job.
BC decided Sunday to cut ties with Addazio, a day after the Eagles 26-19 win over Pittsburgh in their regular-season finale, bringing an end to a seven-year tenure that restored stability after a dark period but ultimately grew stagnant as the program seemed to hit a ceiling.
Addazio led the Eagles to five winning campaigns and six bowl appearances, but his 44-44 record over seven seasons at the Heights became a symbol for an inability to get the program over the hump.
