Boston College fired head football coach Jeff Jagodzinski after two productive years there because he interviewed with the New York Jets for their vacant head coaching position.

Eagles athletic director Gene DeFilippo said Jagodzinski was fired Wednesday because of a “difference of vision for the future.”

When warned by DeFilippo that Jagodzinski’s job would be in jeopardy if he went through with the Jets interview, he disregarded what DeFilippo said and Jagodzinski met with the Jets on Tuesday night.

DeFilippo went on record to say that he wanted a coach that was going to stay long-term.

I think this is crazy because you are stopping the progress of coaches in college football. Jagodzinski was doing what every other college coach does and that is to interview for a higher paying and more challenging job.

I don’t have a problem with this at all. I think that you limiting your possible coach prospects by making this known because in this day and age there are no Bobby Bowden’s nor are there any Joe Paterno’s. College football is all about progress and these coaches want more money and a more challenging job. If they want it, let them go for it. If he gets it, find another coach. What’s the big deal??? Now Boston College will have to look for a head coach that may or may not be as good a coach as Jagodzinski.

So remember coaches, if you plan to be the head coach at Boston College, as long as Gene DeFilippo is the athletic director, be ready to turn down every NFL offer that comes your way because if you even INTERVIEW for the job you will be FIRED!!!

Somehow I thought that when you interview for a job, you’re trying to get a job, not lose one.

My suggestion to Boston College is to hire a high school coach that will be so happy and amazed that he is the head football coach at Boston College that he will never, ever leave.
