Addazio finishes with a 44-44 record in his seven seasons while his Eagles teams went to bowl games in five of his seven seasons and at 6-6 qualified for a sixth this season.
As we await word if the Sports Illustrated report from earlier today plays out to be a true about Clay Helton and his future at USC, another rival of Notre Dame has made their coaches firing official.
After seven seasons of perfectly average football, Steve Addazio is out as Boston College’s head coach.
Addazio finishes with a 44-44 record in his seven seasons while his Eagles teams went to bowl games in five of his seven seasons and at 6-6 qualified for a sixth this season.
But the lack of growth in the program is likely the main reason he’s out at Boston College.
The former Temple head coach began his run at BC with a 7-6 mark in 2013 that ended in an Independence Bowl appearance where the Eagles fell to Arizona.
He would win seven games four more times as Boston College’s head coach, but never more.
His worst year came in 2015 when the Eagles went just 3-9 and 0-8 in ACC play.
Addazio lost all three games to Notre Dame while at Boston College: 19-16 in the 2015 Shamrock Series Game at Fenway Park, 49-20 at Boston College in 2017 and just a couple of weeks ago in South Bend, a 40-7 Notre Dame victory on Senior Day.
Addazio will probably be best remembered (by me at least) for his “What’s Better Than This” video that took over the college football section of the internet a few short years ago…
