Chestnut Harangue: Eagles Jettison Jagodzinski

If the New York Jets interviewed Boston College Coach Jeff Jagodzinski, Jagodzinski was promised unemployment. On Tuesday, the Jets interviewed him. On Wednesday, Boston College fired him. “We're really good friends and this is a very difficult thing to do,” said Athletic Director Gene DeFilippo. “We will find somebody who really wants to be at Boston College and will be here for the length of their contract.”

Coaches cannot disrespect universities. With that stated, this maneuver was a control tantrum. DeFilippo was arrogant. He was petulant. When Boston College crumbles, he should be excoriated.
